Thanks Herb. I see no immediate reason for why it wouldn’t run on the Spin 1. Anyway… Glad it at least works on your new system.

[Niels]

Hi Herb, that is great news!

Did we ever find out why it wouldn’t run on your old Acer?

Can’t wait for you showing your work!

Best,
Niels

Hi Kale,

I have some problems with this web-forum! I only just now randomly discovered your post – so I could approve it. Normally I get notices when a new user is posting. Sorry about the wait!

Anyway, very helpful with the recording of yours! Thanks a lot. We will try to reproduce this issue and hopefully find the solution/fix.

Best,
Niels

Hi Andy. Because you and so many others are reporting this, it means a lot of people must experience this issue. It has our attention. Thank you!

[Niels]

Jeff, what variant did you download and install – the installer exe or the portable zip?

[Niels]

OK, thanks for letting me know Jeff. I’ll investigate and get back to you…

Thanks for your comment and question! We are considering doing a third mode that can swap the order, so you can freely drag your drawings around.

The way Slide mode works is that the order of your drawings are always the same, you use it for adjusting the local timing without messing up timing later down the timeline. So let’s say you have key drawings laid out in sync with an audio track. Then you can, in slide mode, adjust your individual drawing up or down to hit the exact beats in your audio track, without changing your perfect sync/timing of your drawings later in your animation.

It is deliberate that you can’t (accidentally) drag a key drawing to the other side of its neighbour key.

But, as you request, sometimes it would be very relevant to be able to do so. 😉

Thanks for mentioning it! I am aware of this issue. Maybe we just need to adjust the color of the green lines according to the background color. This way we don’t introduce more cluttering options. 😉

In Animation Paper we are mimicking the ond style analogue exposure sheets – therefore the vertical view. However, many people have asked for a horisontal version, like you do now, so we will probably make it a user option for one of the next future releases.

Thanks for mentioning it Ben!

[Niels]

This is on our todo-list. Coming soon!

[Niels]

Hi Ben,

I think I understand you perfectly. Thank you for getting in contact!

X-Sheet: In Settings, you have the option to have it to the left or the right. Additionally you can detach the X-Sheet, so it is as a separate window for placement on a second monitor etc.

Customize shortcuts: This is not possible in the current version, however we will implement customizable shortcuts in a future release. I can recommend using the Speed Dials as an alternative – they can be fully customized, so you have all your favorite tools handy at all times.

Does this help you?

Thanks,
Niels

Thanks Clement – noted.

Thanks Eric! Very helpful! I’ll show this to Frederik (lead programmer). Thank you!

[Niels]

Thank YOU for your excellent suggestions – and for using time with Animation Paper in the first place! Appreciated!

[Niels]

I agree.
