Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hello!
I would like to be able to draw beyond the canvas.

I discovered, that it is possible to do so when creating a new project "with camera",
but unfortunately I didn't create it "with camera".
How do I change the settings?

I am using Version: TVP Animation 11 (11.0.8 - 64-bits)


Thanks!

Hello Gamja,

You can either create a new project with camera a paste your preexisting layers into it, or go to Project > Modify Project and resize the project iself.

You can untick "Stretch to new size" so the content of your layers will keep its original size, while your drawing area's dimensions will change

Thank you for the quick reply, Dean!
Perfect! Unticking "Stretch to new size" made the difference

I have another question:
After rescaling the canvas size, I noticed that the camera is stuck at the top.
Can I keep the center where it was?
How do I center the camera quickly?

You can click on the handle in the center of your camera and select "fit to project" to center it.

That's great, is it also possible to set it in the other important corners (top right, bottom left, bottom right) or even in the top center, left center, right center and bottom center?

There is no shortcut to do this, but maybe it could be added! I will tell the devs about this.

That would be awesome!
Maybe 9 buttons for all positions (like the ones in Photoshop when you resize a file) would be great!
Thanks for your help!
