Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hi everyone,

I just switched to pro, and I'm having too many problems!
In the standard version when I wanted to export the little orange gear next to quick time export would allow me to choose the codec and
quality. now when I click the gear I only have 2 options which don't make very much difference except giving me a huge file of 100MB with a
12 frame sequence!!!
How can I fix this please?
need urgent advice pleaseee

Have you installed the 64bit version and used Quicktime before?

I always used quick time in the standard version,
The pro that I have is 64 bit.

Also is much slower than standard!
my mac is 64 bit 10.6.8

Apple doesn't support QT in 64 bits...
All other 64 bits applications have the same problem.

If you need QT you have to use the 32 bits version of TVPaint Pro.

You can install both 32 and 64 bits version of TVPaint at the same time, just rename them to know which one is which.
So you can work in 64 bits, and only use 32 bits to export with QT.
The project files are 100% compatible between 32 and 64 bits versions of TVPaint.

You say 64 bits is slower than 32 bits ?
Al the time, or only for some specific tasks ?

A+

What I had to do in the end (as I had a deadline) was to take them to my standard version and export them there!!
Will install the 32 bit version of pro! annoying! maybe I should just use the 32 version!
What is really the difference?

I'm not sure whether it's slower all the time or not. I have to experiment more as I just started with the Pro. But before on the standard version
no matter what I did, it was very fast and no RAM killing at all. But my Ram kept shouting on the pro version.
So I should see how that goes! I ended up animating in the standard version last night!
oh dear! Have to justify the amount I spent on the pro! Can't even use the camera! TVpaint should do more video tutorials. : \

But my Ram kept shouting on the pro version.

Can you give us more details ? what did happen exactly ? How ?

Can't even use the camera!

Why can't you in the Pro version ?

Have to justify the amount I spent on the pro!

You have a lot of options not existing in the standard edition : exporting storyboard as PDF, camera tool, blending modes, being able to use several soundtracks, to protect layers with a password, to use more FX (motion blur, advanced keyers, ...) etc ...

So it starts shouting(I mean the loud noise laptops make when a program uses too much memory ) , I think because it runs out of memory! Which never happened with standard version.
Maybe it's just 64 bit and I should use 32!
Can you please explain what is the diference between the 64 and 32 in pro?

I'm not regerting getting the pro, It's too soon to say anything about it, I have to get use to it and use it more
It's great.
I just wish there were more video tutorials.

I can't use the camera yet because I can't get my head round it. I tried to use it and it all went wrong explained in my other post.
I'm still working on it trying to make sense of it.
What I had to do in the end was I exported all my layers with transparency and took them to After effects for 3d camera movements(multiplane).

64 bits allows you to use more memory. In 32 bits you are limited to 3 Go of memory, in 64 bits you can use more.
