Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Did I say "just slide in and out"? It's a bit more than that, and I could have used something else (and have done in the past), but it's a TVP learning experience too :D Ah, I was thinking the final render was with the audio: shows you how much I know :( I'm actually up to 160 odd images a...

I'm still new and experimenting, but I'm getting to the end of my current project, which uses a music clip from start to end -- 3:15 all up. The visuals a photographic slides. What's the best practice for managing something like this? From reading on the forum (for more normal animation projects), i...

That explains it: thanks

Thank you... how did you get all your images into separate layers? When I import mine they come in on the same layer in separate frames

I imported bunches of about 150 images at once, which were all put in separate layers on frame #1. Not very practival. I selected all those new layers, pressed that Clip button in the Animators Panel to line them all up in time, and merged selected into one layer. How did you do that? When I import...

Yes, sorry... just at the beginning of the project, so only up to 12 layers: but I thought some advice before I went too far down one track. I'm not suffering any software issues atm (big HD and lots of RAM), it was more a question about the better way: does it matter to tvp if the different images ...

I'm working on a project that is using many images (photos), that I've been loading into layers and then manipulating them along the timeline. My question is about the best way to manage so many layers. Does TVP worry about too many layers? Or is it better to merge them once I've got the transitions...

When using George frame count starts at 0 so to add 3 exposures at frame 1 the code is Tv_exposureAdd 0 3 You probably dont have exposures at frame 2 this is why nothing happens whith tv_addexposures 1 3 -Mads Perfect, thanks. I think I was getting confused with the move image command where if it w...

Is there a trick to using tv_exposureadd?

There's nothing in the wiki, so I've just tried tv_exposureadd 1 3 expecting 3 new exposures at or after #1, but nothing's happening.

Ah, yes... but is it callable from a script? I want to do other things with the same function...

I've looked all the way through the George Wiki but I can't see a command to Split a layer.

Surely there must be one? Or is there another way to achieve the same result?

Thanks

OK, we'll put this down to the flexibility of VLC, which played the files fine (actually, wmp did too), but file explorer didn't decode.

Converted to mp3 via VLC and loads fine again into TVP.

Maybe it was a codec thing?

Bottom line: we're all good again.

It sounds like TVP is looking for the old drive where you previously kept the files but they have now been moved to another location. After opening TVP without the files, have you reloaded these from their new place and then saved your project so that TVP will know from now on where to find them? Y...

Sorry, a bit confused here... I've had to re-install TVP after a hard-drive failure, and now mp3 files are not being loaded. For Example: Loading an existing project that has sound file included complains: <file> Not Found Would you like to select another one? Then after loading after: Can't open th...
