Using the Beta Version so far and questions about Animation Paper

#1 · May 20, 2025, 9:10 am

Hi congrats on the beta release and progress. I have tested some of the alpha versions before and have noticed improvement in the beta. Based on using the beta so far, I noticed that sometimes the audio playback and scrubbing can be off sync . In addition, when looped, sometimes the audio repeats during playback without finishing all the way through.

Specs:

Windows 11 Home

x64 bit

HP ENVY x360 Laptop

When it comes to audio scrubbing, will it be possible to scrub through the X sheet as well as the play head?

2. Will it be possible to import/extract audio from video clips? For example, software like Pencil 2D and Callipeg have these features.

3. Also, will the importing movie clip feature be included in the final release 5.0 or will that be in another update?

Thank you for your time.

Hi G,

Thanks for reporting this. It is a known issue - that is literally the next thing on our todo for tomorrow. 🙂 Will be fixed for Beta2 no doubt.

I'm not sure I understand what it is you want exactly. Do you mean, have the audio sounding when dragging the scroll bar of the x-sheet?
This could of course be doable. So we would import the video part to the reference layer and have the audio in the audio column? Or do you mean, just using the audio part of the movie-file?
Yes, importing video was supposed to be part of this Beta1, but we had to postpone it to Beta 2 or a possible 3.

Thanks,
Niels

You're welcome. 🙂

1. Yes correct, the audio sounds when scrolling through the x sheet.

2. Using the audio part from music file. However both options can be useful.

Thank you and you're welcome.

OK - cool! Thanks for clarifying. This is noted. I feel, however, that when scrolling it could be too much/weird to have the audio sound. I'll think about it though...

Did you know that if you hold down Shift (while over the drawing area) you can drag your pen up/down (or left/right) to scrub/scroll while the sound is playing as well? Maybe this helps to get a little bit closer to what you were hoping for?

Best,
Niels

Ok if you think that it shouldn't be included that way then that is fine. Whatever works best.

I may have forgotten about this feature so thank you for reminding me. I will try doing that. 🙂
