I try to search but i can't find -__-" sorry.

thanks for answer >_<

Hi Mika-chai,
When using the fill tool, you have a "auto fill color" box on the options panel. Check it.
Then switch on the light table in order to see the previous frame.

With this config. you can drag a color from a previous frame to the current frame.

You can find the complete explanation

... explantion in the manual :)

isn't that rather "Auto Pick Color" ?

Yes, but the explanation is very short .....

There will be a video tutorial as soon as possible.

i can't find any "Auto fill color" .
I only found "Auto pick color" ???

that's it, I think...
the one mentioned by Patrice few posts above.

And it works like this :

- when you press the button, the color under it will be picked in the PREVIOUS frame (hence you have to activate the Lighttable to see what you are doing).
- when you release the button, the fill will take place on the CURRENT frame.

If both areas (the one already filled in the previous frame, and the one to be filled in the current frame) overlap, a simple click on the overlap will do it.
If not, you click on the 'previous' area, drag to where you want to fill, and release the button.

ok, video tutorial done .
I will post it asap. stay tuned !

ok finally i found the way to fill color in every frame

ok the first one you drawing some animate picture

and select the frame you want to fill color in

next you fill color in position you want with fill tool and press "ENTER"

Volar !!! magic happen all frame you had selected had auto filled color

*** it can fill in same position ***

here is a small video tutorial. ( I'm late )

very nice!
although you drag too much IMHO, (apparently every times),
in that case, simple clicks would suffice for many areas,
(T-shirt, trousers, face) where it overlaps with the previous frame.

by dragging less, you would have done the job faster.

Zig is right, sometimes the area directly under the shape was the more obvious click spot

but on the whole a very nice demo Fabrice!
good work

by the way...is it possible to have close-ups when you do your settings in the panel?
for us its clear what you do, but novices might benefit greatly.

since you don't use voice you now need to get viewers attention by circling the cursor fast.
a little close-up would make the 'narrative' much clearer.

Thanks a lot,

you are right, some stuff could be easily improved (info texts, close-up, simple clicks, ...).
I will try to release a new optimised tutorial in a few days.
