Thanks Todd. We are looking into this.

Yes, this is called the “pivot point” – and I do believe it is quite common in other software actually. But thanks for noticing and mentioning. 🙂

[Niels]

Yes, this is a bug and reported elsewhere on this forum. This happens if you export “simple unbroken sequence” together with “Combine Layers” checked. This is fixed with the next update which will be in a week or so.

[Niels]

Sounds great! Thank you!

[Niels]

Thanks all of you! Very helpful!

Cher: You can reach me at niels animationpaper com (sorry for my cryptic anti spambot attempt :D)

[Niels]

No problem Salim 🙂 Thanks

[Niels]

Thanks a lot Salim! Others have requested this too. It’s now on our todo!

[Niels]

That is interesting. That it is not appearing at all is strange behaviour. I will have to get back to you on this…

Using the lasso much in the same drawing is one thing. Working in 4K is another.

The good news are that you should work in a resolution that is not too demanding for your hardware – and when you at some point want to export your finished animation, you can always just scale up to 4k if that is what your output requires. Everything will scale up perfectly without blurring or leaving artefacts. So no need to struggle with a too high resolution and slow feedback.

Yes, if you have a spare email please try that too. The name you can keep 😉

It’s not that there is anything wrong with your email 🙂 I just want to rule out various things. Maybe the way our license server connects with your computer is strange for some reason.

Exactly! First of all it needs to stay simple and uncluttered – but at the same time have what you need as an animator. It is not easy but it can be done I’m sure.

[Niels]

Great – thanks!

[Niels]

Oh, now I see! Thanks for explaining again. 🙂

Actually this is how it works on purpose. Imported frames are basically meant to be for reference, so normally you would have your drawings (done in Animation Paper) on a layer on top. This layer is fully functional with the light-table. And the ref-layer would only show the current frame reference.

But I see your need when importing drawings scanned from paper. Maybe we should make ref-layer frames visible in the light table an option. I’ll give it some thought – I want to make sure we do not have complications turning up when using this in related ways.

I’m curious to understand what you are after, so, your plan was to import your rough animation done on paper – and then do the timing and clean up in Animation Paper, right?

Thanks a lot Rudy!

Judging from this thread, this pressure loss happens a lot (at least for you guys). So of course we must look into this. The sad thing is that we can’t seem to replicate it here. We need to have it happen here to fix it. We’ll try to create the same environment as you people are having. Any additional info you could imagine being relevant please supply here to help us. Thank you!

Hi Salim! If you are in the default setting, you are in Add Clones mode. This means you should be able to just drag downwards on any of your white original drawings in the x-sheet. That produces light brown “clones” – that is your drawing being held for the number of frames that you drag down. If you do too many you can drag clones upwards again to make them go away.

In “Slide mode” you can drag your originals up or down through the “sea of clones” 🙂

But check out the tutorial videos – it looks like you would benefit from watching them.
