Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

i was just imagining how cool it would be if we could have clips overlapping in the timeline view mode of The Project tab... And its not that crazy too, we already have the option of multiple audiotracks there. It would dramatically increase possibilities and in som cases completely change how you c...

you can hover over buttons in the interface to find their name and shortcut

what normal size do you want? you can use these commands depending on what you need
zoom 100%
zoom fit

Preferences: General: disable animated strokes.

It will let you create intuitive animated loops for whatever purpose.
So either to make some abstract loops but you can also use it to animate insects or rain for instance.


example 4 frame gif loop:

you can (sort of) fix it but you have to add a Reset tot the keyboard short cut. add Tools: position reset Position and for future use you could also add: Tools: position reset Scale Tools: position reset Panning to add multiple actions to a key hold CTRL while clicking Assign. Note... for some reas...

I think in the end you can't really get around using some external keys... whether on a standard Keyboard or some on a special smaller device. I know some animators that use a gaming keypad. i recently started using this thing to place on top of my cintiq: Clipboard_06-03-2025_01.jpg My point is TVP...

was gonna suggest the same, or maybe a stray cable touching a key.
Maybe good to know the U key also does Undo (stemming back to TVPaints AMIGA days)

Thanks Dean, that is great to hear!

Thank you!
I am working in v11 and its such an annoying bug, glad to see you fixed it in V12!

I think it would help us on the forum if a request threads like this gets an acknowledgement from the team
about whether the request is feasible or has been put on a to do list, so that we may know that it got noticed.

What is the status on this request?

to have the offpeg rotation pivot be in the center of the screen, independent of wherever the projectview is zoomed in at.

This was my experience in breaking up a single project into 25 smaller ones as both 25 .tvpp and .mp4 files steps: 1) manually split the project up into 25 separate clips one by one. 2) manually renaming each clip (because of that RIGHTRIGHTRIGHT..... thing) 3) exporting all clips as TVPaint project...

I don't know how to quickly split a layer into multiple clips to print out for a storyboard , only the usual way of Split Clip (x 50 ) , but a workaround could be to use Bookmarks . It was Hisko Hulsing who asked me and i couldn't help him only later did i think of the bookmark option. But one draw...

You could export your file with layers using JSON if you have After Effects

Out of curiosity, why don't you use the Project view to order your shots and seamlessly move into creating an animatic?
that way you can stay within TVpaint.

i wanted to revisit this now 10 year old issue, because splitting is still inconsistent between: -layers -clips -scenes Scenes or Layers split to the Right from current Clip or Frame (in Project or Timeline view respectively) but in timeline view "Split Clip" splits to the Left of the curr...

Cool!
