Draw the picture in a separate project that is three times the width of the screen where the animation appears. If you keep both projects opened at the same time, with the KeyFramer activated within the smaller project, you can make the long project visible inside the frame of the smaller animation project, key in the pan motion, and render the two together.

Many thanks Paul, I was trying to simulate this but was copying the wide BG layer from its project to the smaller project and it gets cropped! your solution actually opened many possibilities for me for I wasnt aware that I can use the multiplanes effect with multiple projects :) wow this is an eye opener! many thanks again.

If you are using the keyframer to render-pan, then it is supposed to do that.

Try this: Pull back from your small project far enough to see the entire outline of the pan project. You can run dry runs with "Preview" clicked on. But yes, there is a tutorial where all the tutorials are stored (I've never been there myself, sorry). Also enter Keyframer pan in search and you shouild come up with lots of other explanations because this question comes up a lot.

I use the entire screen to draw a portion of the picture, then when I use the pan tool to move the picture outside of the screen to make room, the portion of the drawing that goes beyond the screen is erased.

How can I make long pictures in TVPaint?
