Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

ok I understand - thanks for the explanation and thanks everyone for your help and suggestions. This is our student production so we've still plenty to learn, lots of things to think about for next time:)

ah ok, I see. But if the layers are in a separate clip, when I choose that clip as the source, it all comes in merged. So I guess I need to stay make the set of xsheet layers in the same clip as the normal layers?

the layers are imported to after effects for comping, we keep them separate so we can tweak individual colours depending on the scene/BG/lighting.. fabrice: i actually did just like elodie illustrated, I have my animation with line and color layers in one clip, and in another clip I have an xheet la...

Hi Fabrice, hmm that usually does the trick, but now that I am referencing the 8 layers from another clip into one xsheet layer, it is exporting only that one layer..

Hi slowTiger - hmm thanks for those ideas, I'll look into whether we can save some time there.. Hi elodie, thanks a lot for the detailed walk through, just what I needed to understand the xsheet properly. It works just as you say, however, I need to export the final animation as photoshop layers, an...

Hello Tvpainters:) In my scene I have several characters. For each one there is a mix of holds on 6s and animation on 3s. On the holds I am making the character 'boil' by drawing 5 unique versions of the line drawing, copying them out, and randomizing them (manually) so that you can't see that it's ...

Seems to also be available for pre-order on Amazon.co.uk, as PAL, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dog-Tulip-DVD-C ... 625&sr=1-1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Actually I just checked and it's not... hmm hopefully i can catch it when I'm in the UK next..

Hmm yes I haven't really gotten into the tvp camera thing yet - but it looks like a smart way to do these kinds of things! I'll give it a try next time - thanks:)
(we're looking forward to seeing your film, by the way, it looks beautiful!)

Hehe yes a curious experiment perhaps! I personally much prefer 2s or even 3s to 1s.. Our film is mainly on 3s. For this scene I'm animating two dudes slowly pushing a huge rolling bed across the frame... The guys should be on threes... but the bed strobes on anything less than 1s! so we are experim...

Thanks a lot for your speedy reply! It works great, as long as I choose 'shrink' and unclick 'interpolate' when I make the layer half the length. The green x2 button in the instances panel doesn't seem to want to duplicate all selected frames, but the +1 button works just fine.

Cheers!

Hi forum!

I have an anim layer on ones, where each frame is unique. I'd like to remove every other frame and put it on twos. Is there a quick way to do this, that I'm missing? I couldn't seem to find an answer by searching here..

Thanks!
