Question I have trouble with the trace function of GTS. I have to turn up the thickness of the lines, or else there are massive gaps, but in doing so, it results in holes inside the lines. What am I doing wrong?

Like I said, the drawing looks good, then I scan it and trace it with GTS, and suddenly, if I don't turn up the thickness, the lines have huge gaps, but when I turn the thickness up, I end up with holes/blank pixels inside the lines. It seems like I have trouble making smooth pencil lines, what do I have to do to make it better? I use regular printer paper and not paper specially made for animation. Is that the problem?

Does anybody know how to edit merged columns?

4 Upvotes

Hello to anybody reading this, so a while ago I was trying to figure out on how to merge columns, since I'm new to OpenToonz and a while ago i got to merge two other columns, but when I tried to draw on the merged column, opentoonz would give me an error saying "The current level is not editable."

Question Trouble manipulating frames

1 Upvotes

I have used OpenToonz sporadically for a number of years, but I am not that good at using it. I have not worked in the 2D animation industry, so some terminology escapes me. For the most part I get what I want done, but one area I have a lot of trouble with is manipulating frames, for instance moving frames, reordering etc. I have tried tips online to use the XSheet but I still am unable to do simple things. I am used to Flash animation tools. Any thing I have missed that would make me better at moving frames?

Why do all my frames become blank when rendered?

3 Upvotes

So i tried making a simple ball animation on opentoonz, but when i try to render it, it all just comes out blank, like my frames don't exist. I tried downloading software to instantly render the animation into an mp4, but again, it just comes out blank.
How can i fix this issue? Is there an error in my animation or is it cause my pc sucks?

Problem / Bug Just lost an entire project to OpenToonz?

8 Upvotes

istfg this app is going to give me a headache 😐

OpenToonz crashed and corrupted my .tnz with the error "bad file format" and "expected step end tag" with []

The backups give me the same exact issue when I remove the .back extension.

I opened another alternative save of the file that I had (as a self made backup), and all the frames and drawings were jumbled, some missing, others extending past the position I had set them in before.

Please tell me if this can this be restored, I spent too long working on it to lose it now.

Problem / Bug how do i render a video while preserving the opacity/colors on my canvas?

1 Upvotes

Hello! trying to render and export one of my animatics -- there are multiple characters in the scene, so I've added color filters to each character's layer, and lowered the opacity of background characters' layers. However, when I preview/fast-render the animatic, opentoonz seems to ignore my settings and 1) reset all color filters to black, and 2) reset every layer's opacity to 100%, which doesn't give the effect I want. Is there a way to render it while preserving my opacity and color filter settings?

** my render turns this:

basically exactly as the title states. import a wav, nothing. try again, it says the file already exists. press any of the options and nothing happens. idk. reddit isn't letting me upload screenshots today but that's basically it. i have the latest stable version and so far it's been full of irritating bugs so i'm sure i'm not the only one
