KeymasterHi Dev, You asked for a full step by step guide, which I wrote for you on the other thread.
But in short – I believe you just missed this step: After installation of Animation Paper, you run it and get to this window:
Jut click the link to get your free activation key.
Cheers,

KeymasterOK, no problem, Dev. Here’s the process:
To get the alpha prerelease of Animation Paper do this…
1) Sign up for the alpha here: https://animationpaper.com/#HowMuch – This will result in an automatic email sent to you right away. Remember to check that you have written you email correctly without typos.
2) Open the email you just received and click the button to get to the download. Here you choose between PC or Mac version.
3) After download and installation, you launch Animation Paper. A small window comes up where it asks for an activation key. In that window you find the link and click it, and then you can register for your free activation key. It should get to your inbox within a minute or so. Now, copy/paste the activation key into the window and you are ready to animate!
This is what the small window (with the link) looks like:
Let me know if something is not clear?

KeymasterHi Dev Ji – did you click the link? The activation key will be sent immediately, but you need to click the link in the small window where it asks for the key. As I wrote in 3) above.
Let me know how it goes?
Thanks,

KeymasterHi again Christopher,
Frederik, lead programmer of Animation Paper, is coming on to talk to you about the technical stuff. Maybe you can find out what is happening together…

KeymasterOK, thanks. I have no idea why this happens – and I haven’t heard of this problem before. I must investigate and hope to come up with with a solution. I’ll get back to you… 🙂

KeymasterHi Quinn,
Technically PAP v4 is a completely different software, so it doesn’t make a difference to Animation Paper if it is already installed or not. So it must be something else that is the problem.
Are you sure you haven’t installed Animation Paper (maybe an earlier alpha release) already and that is why it is suggesting to remove it?
Best,

KeymasterHi Ashley,
I found the comments and conversation here: https://animationpaper.com/forums/topic/suggestions-and-impressions/
But the thing you are interested in doesn’t seem to be covered. So I’ll answer you here:
You need to export your animation and make it into a mp4 file. In Alpha 3 you will have to export as a stack of png images and use other software to convert them to mp4. An efficient and free way of doing that is by using FFMPEG. But it is a bit technical.
Another way is to wait just a few days/weeks for our next release (Alpha 4) – which has build in export of mp4 (and mov/prores).
mp4 is compatible with browsers, so you can show it directly on a website – but of course it also depends on how the website is setup and if you as a user have the necessary access. But that is beyond me 😉 If you want to upload to youtube or elsewhere, mp4 is very well suited for that too.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Best,

June 14, 2021 at 8:28 pm #3691Niels
KeymasterThanks Ashley. I agree and that is why we will be stating on our selling site under requirements, that we recommend a drawing tablet, like a Wacom or Huion or other brand.
In my opinion Wacom is the best – but the most expensive too. Some less advanced Wacom models are quite affordable though.
In reply to: How to use fill tool.
June 13, 2021 at 4:53 pm #3687Niels
KeymasterSorry King Taky, all the coloring features, including the fill tool are not implemented yet. We have the menu and menu items put in already to show what is coming. But they are disabled and doesn’t work yet.
We are working on exactly those features – and they will be ready for the Alpha 5 release.
In reply to: Lassoo and Cutter Option Enhancement Request
June 12, 2021 at 10:51 pm #3685Niels
KeymasterHi Daniel,
I am very interested in listening to your suggestions – but I am afraid I do not follow what you are saying? Can you please explain it again, maybe in other words?
BTW: Since layers are already separated by color, you will always pick up the one color (and nothing else) when using the lasso. If this has any relevance to your remarks, I’m not sure 😉
FYI: Our plan is to make it so you can lasso and pick up multiple drawings at the same time (by shift-selecting the frames in the x-sheet).
I hope you will forgive me for asking for more explanation, so I can fully understand your idea?
Cheers,

KeymasterToo bad you had to use up a whole week for that. I’m happy it worked out alright Ashley!
Actually, this happens quite often – I mean people making typos in their email. I get bounced activation key emails every day. You are not alone! 🙂

KeymasterHi Ashley, I’m sorry it has been so time-consuming for you. To help you, I need to know your email address. Could you please send it to niels at you-know-what-domain. (I’m writing my email this cryptically so I don’t get picked up by spambots!)
Just to make it clear for others how to get the latest Animation Paper pre-release (alpha or beta version):
1) Sign up for it here: https://animationpaper.com/#HowMuch
2) Download it – using the link you get in your inbox right away.
3) After installation, you launch Animation Paper and click the link in the window to register for your free “activation key”. It should get to your inbox within a minute or so. Now, copy/paste the activation key into the window and you are ready to animate!
