    OK, strange. Thanks for getting back to me on this. I’ll show this to Frederik…

    Hi Divine,

    I sorry to hear you are having trouble. Frankly I am not sure what is happening here – I haven’t heard about this before.

    Why it would “repair the download” after you successfully have installed and run Animation Paper I have no idea. Maybe you should just start over, by uninstalling it and then download and install again. You don’t need to register again, just use the same activation key.

    Let me know if this helps or you still are having problems.

    Best,
    Niels

    EDIT: Oh, wait! I just read your message again – and you didn’t run it the first day. So that makes a bit more sense. Still I am afraid I don’t have any suggestions other than try installing it again as I said. If it still doesn’t work, I will talk to Frederik (lead programmer) and get his take on this. Maybe he will be able to provide better help than me.

    Haha, thanks for showing this Alex! I like how he moves with the yawn. I think it would benefit from a bit more time (more clones) here and there – I mean, you could dwell a little more at the ending, so you take in the jungle! 😀 Especially the “for rent” text is so fast you may not be able to read it, at least not the first time.

    Good work! Well done!

    Hi Dina, sounds great! Thanks.

    Actually we will be releasing Alpha 6 in only a couple (or few) days from now – this will include the Linux version for the very first time. So I believe you might as well just wait for that.

    First I’ll post about it on the blog and then send out an email notice too. So keep an eye out for that.

    I’ll look forward to your testing and feedback! Thanks a lot!

    If you are using the latest version (Alpha 5), you are able to just drag the sound wave in the X-Sheet up or down, to adjust the starting point of the audio track. If it is locked, you need to turn off the lock first to be able to drag it.

    It is only possible to import one audio file. You need to edit your audio first in an audio editor, to create your audio track from several single sound effects. The workflow is often this way – you animate to an audio track such as dialogue or music and that’s why it makes sense to do your animation AFTER the audio. It can be done this way with sound effects as well, but of course sound effects could be added afterwards in final editing. I hope this makes sense.

    OK, thanks. It must be because the dots are on the “sfondo” layer. Click the white thumbnail (frame 1) in the sfondo column. Then erase the dots.

    Also you can change the sfondo layer to red, so it shows exactly what’s in that layer. Click the gizmo with the little black line on it at the top of the sfondo column – and change to red. Right now both your layers are black, which is confusing, because you can’t tell them apart.

    I hope this helps and solves the problem. Please let me know.

    Thanks,
    Niels

    Hi Alex,

    I wish your screenshot would show the X-Sheet as well. I suspect your eye-dots to be on another layer. Is that the case? Or maybe they are on another frame – if you have the light table turned on, you can see the closest frames through your light table (aka onion skinning).

    You can only erase lines on the layer or frame you are currently on. So just go to the right layer/frame and erase.

    Let me know if this makes any sense?

    Best,

    Yes, to have some kind of scale setting internally in AP would be great – I mean, independent of the system setting. This is now noted.

    I would love to take your name and info and get back to you when we start doing localisation. I am looking for people who can translate very carefully and am fully into animation lingo. What language and country would you represent? Please email me using the email you got your activation key from. I am looking for translators for the full version of AP, but I would love to hear more about your ideas for kids.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for your suggestion. Not harsh at all! We do actually have plans for doing a simplified kids version of AP. Wouldn’t it be the best/easiest to just be able to download it to your PC? Can you tell me a bit more about Clara.io?

    Thanks,
    Niels

    Your setup is plenty. I wouldn’t expect any problems.

    And the best test for any setup, is to just try it, as you have done. I mean, from the current alpha 5 version to the final version, there will be no difference in hardware requirements, so if you find it running well now, you will find it running well with the final too.

    Best,

    Hi Andrea!

    Thanks a lot for your sweet words.

    We don’t have a solid date for when we will release the final Animation Paper 5.0. But we are getting close now. We hope to be feature complete in 3 months from now. Then we will have 2-3 months of beta period to find the remaining bugs – and then we can release the final. So in fall of 2022 you will be able to purchase it for the introduction price of $79 usd.

    Colors will come immediately after in a free upgrade to 5.1.

    An advanced brush system (preferably compatible with PhotoShop brushes) is at the top of our wish list for the next release after the above.

    There will be many smaller features coming up soon (few weeks) in the next alpha release. Things like customisation of the Tool Bar and Speed Dials.

    Best,
    Niels
