How to set a specific starting frame number? Topic is solved

[BruceM]

I've scanned and imported the drawings for a scene. Can someone tell me how I can change the frame numbers in the timeline so that the starting frame number corresponds to the starting frame number of the scene on my exposure sheet? Rather than starting at frame "0" or frame "1"?

Thanks!

At the bottom left, in the timeline, you have different option (background, group, start, sound, etc.). Click on Start to choose the start frame (0, 1 or custom).

Wow! That works perfectly.
Thanks again Elodie!

If you want your scene to start at a specific frame number set the Mark In to that frame number .

Say you want the the scene to start at frame 25 , it would look like this:

I have got an additional question to that:
Does the start frame number option at the bottom left of the timeline also exist in older TVPaint versions?
At university we use TVPaint 10.0.6, I searched for this function but could not find it anywhere yet...

I believe that is new in TVPaint 11.

However, for TVPaint 10 there is a custom panel that Hervé Adam made called StartFrame 0 or 1 , which you can use as is or you can copy and paste those buttons (0 and 1) to your Animator Panel , under Misc. Tools.

By the way, you should lean on your university tech support admin to UPDATE from TVPaint 10.0.6 to the most recent iteration of TVPaint 10 , 10.5.7 .

Ok, thanks for the info!
