Hello I am an animator from Brazil from Recife and I'm
TVPaint starting to use now. I have one doubt, how can
TVPaint export the drawings without the background? I know you have this option in the export but unless the design is not free.
thank you

Bom dia,

you need to choose an export format which supports alpha channel. For Video this would be Quicktime with PNG codec and "+millions of colours". Fort stills, PNG.
Then you need two more settings: RGBA, and de-select "background".

Just in case you are talking about an actual background, painted on a layer in your project, you can simply turn that layer "off" by clicking the green button, which will become red. When you export, you will only see your layers which have your drawings, then, as mentioned above, you can choose a format which support alpha channels.
