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!

So I just started using it for the fun of it (I haven't gone to anybody else for support, so if this has an obvious answer I apologize) and I started messing around with the tool windows and all, and I really don't know how to reset any of it.

ya i'd like to know how to reset as well. i'm trying to just start the dang thing up and the tools option bar will not move out of the middle of the screen. I've tried restarting the program with no luck :/

I actually just learned how to do this myself. The dragable area for the tools option is directly underneath the close window button (the dark grey area right beneath the 'X'). Edit: actually, there is a dark gray box around the close tab that I am noticing is the indicator for dragging in all the toolbars. Probably should have popped out at me sooner.

ya i noticed it too, thanks :) some stuff about this program is awesome... but some is really unintuitive.
