We have done sort of a crude hack possibility to make it compatible with Windows Ink. But I’m not sure it is preferred, because as far as I know it introduces various side effects. However, why not just try it, right?

Go to the folder where the Animation Paper exe file is located (probably c/programfiles/animationpaper). Find the qt.conf file. Remove it, or better, just rename it, so you can always get it back. Then restart Animation Paper.

Let me know if that helps or not. 🙂

Thank you for this Mark!

1) Good point, which is already on our todo. So it will be done for one of the next alpha updates. (Two ways of stamping: One as now, and one which keeps the selection)

2) Are you aware that you can mark a drawing as “key” (just hit K when on it) – and then set the lighttable to only show keys. I would guess that this is actually kind of what you are asking. Would that work for you?

[Niels]

If you are not aware: Actually Wacom settings allow you to set the shortcut keys bound to the pen buttons as a per app setting. So you can have the buttons react as certain keys in one app and as other keys in another app.

Thank you!

Hi again Nathan,

So we studied your shots. Very peculiar to us.

We see that the holes in the lines occur ONLY when the line are either horizontal or vertical.

Also we notice that the bold strokes are not continuous along the edge, they are sort of bulgy. That is not normal.

Could you help us with a small test? Do this:

Start with a clean project (New). Draw just one not too long stroke with the problem (hole) in it. You can undo lines until you get a small stroke with the problem in it. Then save and send me the .ap file! (niels at animationpaper.com) We can look at the data structure to see if something gives us a clue. Thank you!

[Niels]

Max: OK, but thanks for trying.

Stephen: Oh, thanks for letting us know. A few others has experienced the same – we are on the case!

[Niels]

You guessed it – audio is not done yet. Still to come in one of following alpha versions.

[Niels]

Thanks a lot for these testshots, Nathan! Very helpful. Something is going on, I see that. But I have never seen this before – weird “pauses” in the line. Very interesting. I will have to show these shots to Frederik (programmer). Cool! Thanks again!

[Niels]

Bummer 🙁 But thanks for trying.

[Niels]

Thanks for explaining.

It sounds like there is something happening when the main Animation Paper window is about to open. What are the specs of your computer?

Windows 8.1 you say. What about memory and graphics card?

[Niels]

Least painful? That’s pretty great! 😉

Sorry, for some reason I had to approve of your post before it went public. I only just did that now. Sorry for being slow. Also deleted the “clone” post (to stay in Animation Paper terminology! ;))

In the current Alpha 1 you can export png frame stacks – as you probably know. My plan is do movie files soon and hopefully support Quicktime ProRes with alpha as well as mp4. In my world that would be the two most useful formats. Would anybody agree?

[Niels]

I’m not saying it couldn’t be a bug, but it sure sounds like you do not have your pen working correctly. I mean, is pressure working? Often this is an indicator that your pen is only working with mouse coordinates. This means low resolution and therefore jaggies – especially visible when the line it thin.

Sorry if I am misunderstanding the situation?

What he ↑ said! 😉

Thanks Ross. I should have gone back to this thread and said that 😉

[Niels]

Yeah, zoom in off pegs would be useful, I agree. Noted.
