Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hello, there seems to be a problem about AE JSON exporting/importing, when the layer I export has a blank instance, after importing them into aftereffect, the blank instance will be replaced by either the previous or next frame, to clarify my problem please take a look at the pictures below:

the layer that has a blank instance


After importing into aftereffect, the blank one is replaced by the next frame


I've tried check/uncheck the ignore duplicate layer when I exported them, and I've tried changing between native sequence/rebuild when I import the JSON, but nothing can fix, so I think maybe it just a bug.

Hello,

I can't replicate this issue. Did you make sure you had the 'Export All Images' option checked?

Hi, I didn't notice that option before, but I just tried that one, I found out I can just choose either 'Export All Images' or 'Ignore Duplicate Images' , when I check one of them the other one would be unchecked, and I just tried the Export All images, with this being enabled I did can get the blank instance problem fixed because it exports all the images. But it raises two other problems: the first is that the file would be way larger exporting this way, the second is that the key in Aftereffect would be splited to every single frame instead of a proper timing from Tvpaint:



before 11.7.1, I could export JSON with 'Ignore Duplicate Images' enabled and import them into Aftereffect without any problem with the blank instances and I could get a file with small size and everything went well...
