Preview animation without having the Camera disappearing

[Brusen]

Dear TvPaint,

Is there a way to preview you animation without having the black camera border setup disappearing?
What I usually do, is creating a layer above with a black frame around the animation to shield off my working area. But I guess there is a better way, and not having to do all this setup?

Try this button, it is probably what you are looking for. ("play with camera view" button)

Is that a pro- button? dont see that in my standard-version.

Yes, the camera in general is only available in the pro version.

One thing though, that would speed up the work process, would be having that black camera-border stay as you hit play. -So you can easily fix mistakes in the animation you might spot, without having to zoom out/in to find the area where the mistake is.
I usually have a safe area around my scene so I can store Character-designs and Timecharts etc., that is why I wish to keep my current zoom-position as I hit play.

Is it possible to change that?

I think what you are looking for is not possible at the moment and has been discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5495" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thank you Furushil,
I see you share the same interest regarding the camera view.
-I hope it will be possible in the next version of TvPaint then?
