clips and scenes

[BenEcosse]

what situation would you need to join clips together to create scenes when you can order them individually anyway?(or drag them about in the timeline view)

In fact, the difference between Clips and Scenes depends on the way you do a storyboard.

Storyboard for live-movies
Each thumbnail in the storyboard represents a shot (shot = what is filmed until you cut your camera).



So, to organize your storyboard and make the difference between the different sequences of the film, you bring them together into a same TVPaint's scene.
In that case, each TVPaint's scene = a sequence and clips = a shot

In traditional animation :
Contrary to the storyboard for live-movies (which usually uses only 1 drawing per shot), storyboards for animated movies needs freuently several drawings to describe an action for the animators. So, each "thumbnail" from a TVPaint's scene represents a step in the shot's animation :



Look at the thumbnails with Bart and Lisa Simpson talking for a TV show : there are several thumbnails, but there are all from the same "shot" (shot = no cut).

So, in the case of a storyboard for traditional animation, a TVPaint's scene = a shot and clips = a step for the animation.

Is it clearer or... ?
