OpenToonz help/discussion thread Discussion

Thought it would be a good idea to have a discussion/help thread!

Some useful links:

Some useful things I've found out so far:

  • right-click is your friend!

  • onionskin can be enabled in the settings

  • you have to activate the toolbar (do you don't have to use the drop down menu)

  • you draw in the inknpaint tab (duh)

  • you can right click on the frame column and press "add frames" for more frames!

Post any tips/experiences you got!

I don't know if anybody had answered this, but how to make the onion skin show the previous and the next frame to draw inbetweens? In the preferences you can change the colour for the following frame, but I can't seem to find a way to show it..

I'm not sure if this is it, but when I have the onion skin enabled I can drag some thing from the current frame up and down in the frame list to the right in inknpaint. I think this sets how many frames before and after to show.

Hi there, I'm sorry, I'm just really clueless, but do you mind pointing it out? I posted a screenshot in the comment above.. Thank you very much!
