no dont delete it. maybe others will find help
TVPaint boards for technical support, requests and discussions about animation.
http://tvpaint.org/forum/
what is nice. do I delete this post and post new specific question "now''? or don't delete it and I post other question next timemadsjuul wrote:Glad I can help
And again. If you have a question about TVPaint ot something that you think could be improved I think it is a good idea to make one post with this specific question, then we can discuss it in the forum. Maybe a solution on the problem will come. or maybe we will find out it is a good feature request. But making one post with a long list of request is a little hard to work with for us other users.
kind regards
Mads

It's already the case, but to do so, you have to give a name to your brush. (Right click on your brush > Edit > write a name > OK)1.please make easer button or allow 'your brushes' to bind sortcut key
I don't think so, because most users save a custom brush to erase and another one to draw. They assign a hotkey on both and switch quickly between both brushes.I use what change airbrush to easer unavoidably
If I want to use airbrush, I will change it again
It is really uncomfortable I think many people agree this point
That's not really a good idea, because TVPaint Animation and Adobe products does not have the same tools and the same way to work (for example : no drawing modes in Photoshop, just 1 brush and 1 eraser). Some hotkeys have been changed to correspond to Adobe's one (like [CTRL + T] to use the transform tool or [CTRL + D] to clear a selection ]please set function use frequently to shortcut key (based on adobe product as possible)
[function use frequently:brushs in main panel,instantce and exposure add/delete, etc...)]
...? Oh ! you mean compositing functions ^^3.please change edit function
It's a frequently asked feature and on this point, I agree with youI want to select instantce beyond layer
Why don't you use the splines ?it is a really fundamental function.. why isn't it available already?
Okay, seems legit.7 .I can't copy/cut/paste using the select tool [with [ctrl+C] or [ctrl+x]]
Not possible in the current architecture of TVPaint 10.9.resize canvas size of the clip 'individually'!
Just a little note : did you know that TVPaint is as old as Photoshop ? (Photoshop is older of 6 months.) TVPaint was created in 1991 and was inspired a lot by software from the 80s', like Deluxe Paint (1985). We even included layers before Photoshop, you knowSince many 2d graphic softwares are developed based on adobe's productions, it allows users to take less time in familiarizing with them.
I'd like that After effects files can be compatible with .tvpp format2.I hope TVP files can be compatible with .ape format.(affter effect)
I don't understand3.the blank instance needs to be white (I don't say about thumbnail of instance)
why nottrl + mouse wheel: addition of exposure at the desired point
I don't understand.alt + mouse wheel: change of instance location within exposure
I don't know if it's possible, but why not.ctrl + Left mouse botton: create instance at the desired point
That has been asked recently, a good idea IMO5. function that allows users to view enlarged thumbnail of the frame when a cursor is on it. thumbnails are not big enough.
Just toggle the layers.7. a simple timeline interface similar to flash or toonboom.
Be patient9. coloring function of retas studio, a software which has a very powerful digital coloring feature.
Already asked too. If I'm not wrong, it should be a new feature in the big update of TVPaint 10.10.function that reducing layer opacity except selected layer
Not really kindmy impression on tvp is that it didn't really concern user's convenience.
Thank youthough I thank you for making an awesome bit-map based animation software.
I wish you tremendous success!
I started a topic on the shortcut issue here. I agree making shortcuts is too difficult, and there should be default shortcuts for beginners. The default shortcuts should be thought trough carefully so it's not absolutely necessary to edit every single tool to be able to work efficiently.haneuri wrote:1.please make easer button or allow 'your brushes' to bind sortcut key
2.set shortcut key
Yes, selecting across multiple layers would definitely be useful.haneuri wrote:4. I can't move multiple instantces at the same time
It does work a little bit though... But when you paste, it pastes the entire canvas, also transparent unselected pixels, thereby deleting the previous drawing on the current frame.haneuri wrote:7 .I can't copy/cut/paste using the select tool
I agree, it feels old. It's unnecessary hard to learn for newcomers.haneuri wrote:10.interface is not user friendly(It is controversial)
I'd like this too! The button says 'play flipbook', but if you bind a key to 'play flipbook' the function is completely different.haneuri wrote:1.I hope I could bind a shortcut key to the flipbook botton of shapen palm. It'll make previewing the work much clearer.
Yes! It would be great to be able to see if an instance is 100% clear or not. I agree the thumbnails are too small.haneuri wrote:3.the blank instance needs to be white (I don't say about thumbnail of instance)
5. function that allows users to view enlarged thumbnail of the frame when a cursor is on it. thumbnails are not big enough.
Something like this!Elodie wrote:I don't understand

Yes! Organising what you can and can't see could use some extra tools like this. I was really excited when Groups were introduced, but was disappointed when I first used them. Colour labels are not groups. I'll create a new topic for this though.haneuri wrote:10.function that reducing layer opacity except selected layer
Yes they are. They are not folders (they are better than this), but they are groups.Lukas wrote:Colour labels are not groups.
I'd like to see more compositing functionality, too, although what TVPaint provides now is pretty good (I especially like the multi-plane camera). I pretty much have to rely on TVPaint for compositing and post-FX as I use Linux only and there is nothing on Linux like After Effects unless I want to spend $2500 for NukeX or Eyeon Fusion.Elodie wrote:...? Oh ! you mean compositing functions ^^3.please change edit function
TVPaint is not a compositing software.TVPaint Animations is a drawing and 2D traditional animation software.
The compositing tools were added in the early 2000s' and never changed since, because the current architecure of the software does not allow it.
That's why I always explain in trainings "always save your project without applying your effects, then save it under a different name when you will apply them".
At the moment, it's not the aim of the software to be a concurrent of After Effect. Be sure that when it will be the case, the price of the software will be quite more expensive
oh... no... way... ;_;Elodie wrote: The compositing tools were added in the early 2000s' and never changed since, because the current architecure of the software does not allow it.
hmm...so...should I make one project for compositon?That's why I always explain in trainings "always save your project without applying your effects, then save it under a different name when you will apply them".
well... It is different what I meanBut if it's just for timing, you can already do that :
* select your layers
* stretch the instances
I said Anchor Point it can't locate other pointWhy don't you use the splines ?
1.it can keep selected area and can move add/delete selected areaOkay, seems legit.7 .I can't copy/cut/paste using the select tool [with [ctrl+C] or [ctrl+x]
But, if you don't use the fonction copy / cut to layer / image in the tool panel, why don't you use the cut brush tool when you want to cut or copy ?
9.resize canvas size of the clip 'individually'!
It is mean thay not possible in only tvpaint 10??Not possible in the current architecture of TVPaint 10.
therefore I need to resize canvas size of the clip 'individually'But why don't you create a project with a camera ? Just define a bigger drawing space and a smaller camera view. You will have a huge drawing space and only the camera view will show the final output.
I like it alsoI'd like that After effects files can be compatible with .tvpp format2.I hope TVP files can be compatible with .ape format.(affter effect)
you are rightI don't understand3.the blank instance needs to be white (I don't say about thumbnail of instance)
If your instance is blank, the image is blank too...
I don' lack canvas areaJust toggle the layers.7. a simple timeline interface similar to flash or toonboom.
okBe patient9. coloring function of retas studio, a software which has a very powerful digital coloring feature.
oh I expect itAlready asked too. If I'm not wrong, it should be a new feature in the big update of TVPaint 10.10.function that reducing layer opacity except selected layer
oh....sorry ...my impression on tvp is that it didn't really concern user's convenience.
Not really kind
If we were not concerned by the user's convenience, do you really think we would have such a big forum ?
sorry]EDIT : please, do not create the same topic on different forums ! It's quite useless and redundant.

Yes, I advise you to have 2 tvpaint projects : one without any FX applied (just in the FX stack) and another project, with the FX applied.haneuri wrote: That's why I always explain in trainings "always save your project without applying your effects, then save it under a different name when you will apply them".
hmm...so...should I make one project for compositon?
OkI said Anchor Point
The cut brush tool allows you to select a zone in drawing aread an automatically turn it into a custom brush, right.2.cut brush is change setting of custom brush
Well... as we don't have any other software than TVPaint Animation 10 (Standard and Professional), errr, yesIt is mean thay not possible in only tvpaint 10??
When you need a huge canvas for a camera move, you can then "Render" the camera in a new project (in Project top menu)if I used Hu~~~~ge canvas, tvp could lack memory
No problem, don't worry]EDIT : please, do not create the same topic on different forums ! It's quite useless and redundant.
sorry
never do this
