KeymasterThanks a lot Jose!
Your drawings look great!
As you know, you can import a sequence of png’s or jpg’s. But importing animated gifs actually work already too. 🙂 And importing movie files will soon be possible as well.
Right now imported material will just be scaled to fit your “paper”. Later (soon) we will have options to scale and reposition them. But for now I recommend doing ekstra white (or transparent) space around your source frames to make Animation Paper make them fill only a smaller part of your paper.

KeymasterThanks for this suggestion.
If you reuse drawings in Animation Paper. You use copy/paste to have a clone (copy) somewhere else in the timeline. They are internally linked so it is the same one drawing just repeated elsewhere. Every copy and the original highlights when you flip to it.
However, the labelling we do not have. So how would that work best? Are the numbers on the labels automatically generated or are you able to name them your self? Would some other solution work even better now that we design it from scratch anyway? Some scribbled number/note/symbol by the thumbnail or something?
Let me know how you would prefer this functionality implemented. 🙂
As you say, it is also a matter of keeping it ultra simple and not cluttering up everything. I agree it could be very helpful to have this, but we need to find the most clever – highly useful – efficient way for it to work…

KeymasterThanks to Nathan who just sent me the test .ap file – featuring a line with a hole in it 🙂

KeymasterThanks Czes! Yes, I love Affinity designer! I used it for all design in Animation Paper, graphics and GUI.

KeymasterExactly. That is always the consideration.

KeymasterNo that doesn’t help. The problem is all the stamps coming from lasso. And those gets carried over. Only way to clear it is to redraw. Or don’t use that many lasso copies in the first place of course.
We are going to work on optimising this, but the theoretical problem will always be there if you stamp enough times.

KeymasterOK, that must be annoying Cher! 🙁 If it is because of something in Animation Paper I don’t know. We’ll have to keep an eye out for it.

KeymasterOnly once: But did that drawing originate from another drawing put together by many lasso-stamps? That could explain it.

KeymasterSorry, in this current alpha you can not move multiple drawings (frames) at a time. This is a feature to come soon.
But that doesn’t help you now! So I suggest taking one drawing at a time, but instead of lassoing, you should just hit A (for All). That automatically selects everything in the drawing and clears it from the paper. Then you can move and stamp.

KeymasterThat is good to hear! Thanks!

KeymasterThe warning you are talking about comes up if picking up with lasso takes more than two seconds (it shouldn’t normally take that long). This only happens if you are stamping lassoed parts into the same drawing numerous times, thus making the data grow substantially for that particular drawing. Everything else will run just fine, it is just that one drawing that risks being slow – and only when doing lassoing even more.
The amount of layers doesn’t make any difference by the way. Only how many “patches” of lassoed parts a drawing consist of. You could always retrace on a new blank drawing if you have this problem.
