![]() ![]() ![]() As I look back over what I wrote above, it reads more complicated than it is. ![]() There are other adjustments you can make to fine-tune the Flips function in TVPaint, but that's the basic set up that works for me. You can set up the Flips shortcuts to any of the keys you prefer. NOTE: It does not have to be those three keys: F, G, H, those are just the ones that I prefer. (skipping over the frames with Breakdowns and Inbetweens)īy pressing the G key then I can flip between both the KEYS and BREAKDOWNS (skipping over the Inbetween frames)īy pressing the H key I can flip between ALL the drawings - Keys, B'downs, and Inbs. Flip ALL drawings - keyboard shortcut Hīy pressing the F key and moving my stylus over the surface of my tablet I can flip between the KEYS only. Flip KEYS & BREAKDOWNS - keyboard shortcut G Most animation drawings are exposed " On 2s" (two frames each) or " On 1s" (one frame each), but you can expose drawings (instances) for more frames if the character needs to pause or hold for timing purposes. SEE: "What Is An Instance?" in the TVPaint User Manual: "An instance is simply an image in an animation layer, an image whose duration can be adjusted on the Timeline."Another way of saying it is that an Instance is the first occurrence of a drawing, which may be exposed for any number of frames needed. ![]() So, Next Instance or Previous Instance is the same thing as Next Drawing and Previous Drawing. ➔ You'll notice in the TVPaint lingo used in the User Manual and tutorials a drawing or image is often referred to as an Instanceon the Timeline. If all your animation is ON ONES, then going from frame to frame is all you need, but if your have animation exposed ON TWOS or some of your drawings held for more frames, then you need to be able to advance to Next Drawing (not Next Frame) or Previous Drawing (not P revious Frame). Note that Next Frame and Previous Frame may not be exactly the same thing as Next Drawing or Previous Drawing, depending on how many frames each drawing is exposed on the Timeline. You can also use the keyboard arrow keys Right (forward) and Left (back) to go to Next Frame (Right) or Previous Frame (Left) or use CMD Right to Go To Next Drawing or CMD Left to Go To Previous Drawing. ![]()
