and if you want to move stuff or whole ranges of select ortions of animation you have to go through a long dance of copy paste,make new layer and so on.ģ)agreed,in addition to number 2) ,only when the images themselves are selectable.Ĥ)somehow agreed. right know you're constricted to work on layer per layer base. While you could say this is going too far ,think about it,and I'm sure you could think of numerous ocassions where you might have benifited from that kind of workflow. say you make a square selection in layer 2 and 3 in the middle of 2 animations ,and drag it to the end of the animation on layer 2 and 3 that would be great,but you should even be able to drag it onto layer 1 and 2 ,or 4 and 5, or 7 and 8 because of a more rasterbased workflow. column.jpg' onclick='window.open(this.href) return false ).Ģ)Also great function,also needed for timeline,and you should be able to make selections ACROSS different layers. I didn't like it very much mostly (scan and drawing tools were shaky at best,IMO),BUT the xsheet was indeed really handy and very functional,almost equal to the toon boom xsheet (. A temporary bin for dropping images we might want to use later. When an image is 'on hold', I cannot edit it, unless I go to the initial frame on timeline - in my opinion a single 'frame on hold' should be always available for editing.Ħ. Now if I want to remove an instance I have to drag it's left handle to the right, till it disappears - kinda awkward.ĥ. Ability to delete an instance, without changing the timing would be very useful. The gray area under each layer in TVP in my opinion is completely unnecessary - removing it will save space.Ĥ. It's so much easier than having to copy/paste each time, especially on Cintiq.ģ. The most important function - Drag & Drop frames is really something that TVPaint must add to the timeline functionality. I think that combining CTP like XSheet with TVPaint timeline functions, would make a great improvement to the way timeline works.Ģ. You can drag & drop, add/remove exposures, move frames from place to place, from layer to layer, etc, while utilizing keyboard keys ALT, CTRL and SHIFT for additional functionality. Frames and their repetitive exposures are clearly seen, frames can be numbered, renumbered, renamed. The idea in CTP is that the XSheet is very clear, and very functional, yet simple and saves space.

To save the talk, an example of quite a good XSheet is the good ol' Crater Software CTP (see screenshot below) / Īs a classical animator I prefer to work on a vertical XSheet, than a horizontal timeline, but that's not the main point. Select Animation > Flip > Flip Scale X or Flip Scale Y.1. In the Camera view, use the Transform tool to select an element that has already been transformed. To flip an element following its original axis: 1. The Flip Scale X command remembers the original X-axis of the layer and flips the element following it.

The Flip Horizontal command flips the Layer following the Camera view X-axis. The Flip Scale X and Flip Scale Y will perform a flip on your drawing layer following its original axis. Once your drawing layer is rotated, the original horizontal and vertical axes change. Select Animation > Flip > Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical or press or. In the Camera view, use the Transform tool to select a drawing layer to flip. In the Transform Tool Properties view, make sure that the Peg Selection Mode is deselected. In the Tools toolbar, select the Transform tool or press + The Flip Horizontal and Flip Vertical options let you flip a drawing layer along the Camera view’s horizontal and vertical axis. There are two different options you can use when you want to flip your element.
