Move multiple layers with transform tool?

Post by bleupencil »

Hello again!

I have some drawings on top of each other on separate layers. If I want to move them without merging them into one layer, is it possible to do?

I have tried selecting all the layers then moving, but the transform tool seems to only move one layer at a time. Is there away around this?

I am doing my concept work in TVPaint and need to move things around from time to time, but I don't like flattening in case I want to change something. It is a little bit awkward having to move each layer one by one. Hoping there's a solution I'm not seeing for this :\

Using TVP 9.5.

Thanks!

Use the transform tool (Ctrl T), then again and again on every layer. Works fast with a keystroke combo: arrow down, enter, enter - repeat.

just to mention it, the alternative in v.10 :
firstly you group the involved layers (setting them under the same color code),
then set your moving (offset/resize/rotation) in the keyframer (a single key),
then Apply FX on Layers Group, Heads only.

Oh for want of layer groups!
I'll have to wait to upgrade for that I'm afraid. But thanks anyway, stored for future reference :)
