Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

when i export my animation out of tv paint, it ends up exporting the images twice if it is held on a two, and four if its held on a four, etc... i only want it to export single images, and without having to shrink all the timing to one's how would i go about allowing it to export as single images per single drawings. currently i've been using tiff to preserve the transparency, and sequence checked, correct aspect, and stretch to frame rate.

thank you

What's the reason you're doing it that way?

If I use exposures (animation on two's or more), I want to keep this timing, so I export everything to video file (or image sequence). There's no use to re-create the timing in another program again - that's just a waste of time.

If I need every image only once, I just keep everything on one's in TVP.

first merge your project to one layer
copy this layer
undo (so you have your layers back)
Paste layer
then in this layer, select all frames, use the "delete exposure button" [-1] (in the animator panel) a couple of times till there are no doubles left, and then export.

I'm doing this, so i can color/stylize everything in photo shop, recreating a water color look only accessible in photoshop. I'll then, composite everything in After Effects, for lighting and effects work.

thanks Peter Wassink i'll give it a try and see if that works.

now, I'm curious to see what kind of "water color look only accessible in photoshop" you're talking about ?
maybe you just need to explore and experiment tvpa a bit further ...

Agreed. Search the Contents Sharing forum for "Watercolor" .
