Hi,

and another TVP 11.5.1 question:

When using the transform tool on multiple frames, I noticed that I lose my complete layer structure.
All hold keyframes are now chopped into single frames. I tried to uncheck "auto break instansces" but it doesn't work.

In TVPaint 10, I could just click and transform a lot of frames at the same time without losing all my hold-frames and "repeat image" sequences.

I presume I can fix this somewhere. But can anyone tell me how?

Thanks!

Toggle off the Auto Break Instance before applying the Transform Tool should work to retain the layer structure. I'm unsure why you are getting different results.
Another option is to click on the =? icon in the Handy Panel which will recompute the instances to their original exposure.

Thanks! This really helped me out!
I totally missed the layer icon where I can change the auto-break settings.

This was exactly what I was looking for.
