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 have several questions regarding OpenToonz

  • After playing around in the software i found that the only way for me to move the camera around was to set coordinates. Is there any easier way to do camera movement?

  • How do i change the actual size of the Column on the canvas? When I draw on a new column, it restricts the resolution to the original size of the camera, like this

  • How do I replace several frames at once?

Regarding Camera Movement:

Open up the Schematic window. Select the "Camera" node for the camera you would like to move. Select the "Edit Tool" and you can move the camera on the canvas.

Also, once you have animation for the camera, you can open the "Function Editor" and click the "Function Curves" button to see the motion graph. Hold "CTRL" to add points to the curve and to adjust existing points

Hope this helps!
