Timeline Question

Post by MrMshr00m »

Hello guys,

This may come off as a silly question, but I am in certain need for an answer. When I exit and come back to a project my timeline seems to be zoomed out and has numbers located underneath the frames. Can anybody help me as to how I get back to the standard timeline where I can edit frames: remove, stretch, cut, copy, etc? Currently I am unable to do this.

Also, when I was using the trial to TVP animation Pro at the bottom right there was different views. I think full screen drawing, 2 or so others I believe. Is this only in TVP Pro? I'm still trying to figure out how to create or open those in my purchased TVP Standard.

Not sure what you mean here... do you see the Z over the scroll bar that is between the frames in the timeline and the layer gadgets? If you click and drag on it with your right mouse button it'll change the zoom level on the timeline. If you right click, it will show a list of option like "fit to layer", etc.

Yes, those are the "rooms". Should be available in TVP Standard 10 and TVP Pro 10 (TVP Standard 9.x didn't have the rooms, only TVP Pro 9.x).

What version are you using?

I'm using TVP Animation 10 Standard. I still don't see those rooms.. But, your "Z" trick did work to get me out of that last mess.

...and for an even more direct zoom experience... you can use the Alt key while dragging your pen, just like in the project window.

You might want to update this document: http://static.tvpaint.com/products/comparison.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It list rooms as being available in standard for TVP 10
