Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Thanks for the clarification, Paul.

I just opened Pro for the first time and loaded my Mirage scene. I noticed right away that when I play the scene, the drawing becomes jagged lines. When it stops, the lines return to the smooth look. This doesn't happen when I use the flip tool though.

Has anyone else had this? I wonder if there is a setting I have wrong in my preview window?

Hmm I just noticed that myself, now that you mentioned it. It's so mild in my case that it never brought itself to my attention. Someone more familiar with the software will have to answer that for us.

This might be specific to 1080p, which I belive you work with too. If you blow it op to 100% it won't happen. I think this is normal for bitmap technology.

I actually am playing it at 100%.

Then that could be your graphics card. If I can playback with no distortions it can't be the software. I think they have a list of recommended graphics cards around here. Mine is an Nvidia PCIE 16 quad 256 MB RAM.

I hope that is so (graphics card). My brand new computer had a glitch and is back in the shop so I'm working with my internet computer till it comes home.

But the same project doesn't doe that in Mirage....only in TVPaint.???

I think it could be also a HardDisk rate matter ...

- have you your Temp Dir to a different disk than the OS ?
and if yes, could you tell us what data rate you get when you hit "compute" in the Preview Settings panel ?
- have you tried with Preview set to "Render" ?
- what "quality" do you get when playing your project zoomed out at 50% ?

That was it. I took it off proxy and put it on render and it plays fine. (Although it was on proxy in Mirage). This may all prove to be moot when I switch back to my new powerful computer.

Thanks!
