Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

To be specific, I'm drawing a character. When Drawing, anti-aliasing is on, which I want. I draw a line and everything is smooth. When I hit the "play" button to view the animation, there are several pixels around any given line I've drawn. When I come out of the "Play" mode and go back to drawing, this pixelation disappears. I tried turning off ant-aliasing but this had no effect.

1) Is this natural?

2) Is this something that will show up in the final animation?

3) If so, how do I turn off whatever is putting extra pixels around my lines?

Yes, this is normal. It won't show up in the final animation when you export to Quicktime. What you're seeing is the result of the Proxy preview render of your animation when you hit Play within the TVP interface. (you can adjust the proxy render settings to have the preview playback be smoother , but that takes up more processing power from the computer) .

Thank you DT. Funny that you responded, it was your recommendation on another animation forum that made me get this software. Thank you again.

You can also try to completely unactivate the proxy. On a few computers, the results are better.

There is also the flipbook option which can help (shortcut W)
