Wow, that’s weird. Thanks for reporting this Roger! We’ll have a look at it…

[Niels]

Thanks a lot for these details Todd. Appreciated.

I have a report from another user saying the same – but the strange part is that it is only lagging in periods. Some of the time it worked perfectly well. So you are right – something weird is going on. We’ll find the problem and fix it.

Cheers,
Niels

[Niels]

OK, thanks, Fabian. We are looking into this.

[Niels]

Got the PNG now – thanks! 😉

Hi Hitesh,

My guess is you do not have any frames in your animation yet? If you just opened Animation Paper and imported the sound, your animation is only 1 frame long. Try dragging down on the one frame in the X-Sheet to make a larger number of clones – then you have something to play, including the audio. Also you should now be able to see your audio as a waveform.

Let me know if that helped you – or if your problem is something else?

Cheers,
Niels

[Niels]

Yes, do that. Sorry I can’t help you better right now. We’ll look into this. We might come back to you with questions or test versions for you to try.

Thanks again,
Niels

[Niels]

That’s great Todd! Thanks for letting me know!

We don’t know where we go from here on this – first we need to see if there is any unforeseen problems with this solution. 🙂

[Niels]

OK, thanks a lot, JalenR11 and Patcherips, for your reports. We’ll look into it.

JalenR11, I can’t get to your png – I have now requested permission to see it. Thanks.

[Niels]

OK. Must be something else then. Weird.

[Niels]

Did you try the qt.conf trick?

I guess you need to enable Windows Ink again and then do this:

Find the file “qt.conf” (probably here C:\Program Files\Animation Paper\qt.conf). Delete it or rename it (to save it). Then launch Animation Paper again.

This will force Animation Paper to use Windows Ink.

I’m not sure it will work – but definitely worth a try! Please let me know how it goes.

Cheers,
Niels

[Niels]

Yes, this is because we haven’t implemented support for video files yet. It will come soon in one of the next alpha releases.

But thanks for mentioning it!

(Until we have it done, you can export a sequence of png’s – like you already know)

Cheers,
Niels

[Niels]

Sure. You mean using “gestures” like pinching to zoom, and so on, right? This is in our plans. Just haven’t gotten to it yet. 😉

Thanks Rodrigo!

[Niels]

It must have been some kind of glitch in the connection. I’m sure your activation key is fine. Just try again and it should work.

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers,
Niels

[Niels]

OK, cool. I understand. At some point soonish, we will add the ability to set up your own custom shortcuts.

Best,
Niels

Hi Cher,

If you are able to assign keystrokes to your pen buttons, then I would use the R (Rotate), H (“Hand” aka Pan) and Z (Zoom) shortcuts. They work already.

Unless it is important for you to hold the spacebar in combination with the pen buttons? Why not just the pen buttons?

Cheers,
Niels
