TVPaint Animation provides powerful tools for post-production

TVPaint Animation possesses many effects and filters to rapidly enhance your images, animations and videos, reducing the need to switch between TVPaint Animation and other programs!

FX Stack workflow

TVPaint Animation uses "keys" to animate effect parameters, the result of which can be instantly previewed. You can combine as many FX as you need within the FX stack.

The special effects used in the software are "destructive", meaning that they affect the imagery within a layer directly. However, you can render the results of your effects out to a separate, empty layer to avoid affecting the original source footage.

Effects Include

Particles generator + Auto Paint
Warping grid
Volumetric light
Multiplane camera
Among the numerous available FX, here is a little list of the greatest FX in TVPaint Animation :

Keyframer : Used for animating the translation(sliding), rotation or scaling of source imagery/footage. Source imagery could consist of the current layer, an open project, panoramic backgrounds, a custom brush image, etc.
Multiplane camera : Use a virtual multiplane camera to composite multiple animated layers together; each layer can be animated independently.
Particle Generator : to generate rain, snow, dust, flower's petals, music notes...
Volumetric Light : to create the appearance of crepuscular rays cast around a backlit layer element. (Works well on titles.)
Color Adjust : for adjusting an image's contrast, saturation, gamma...
Scan Cleaner : to make white pixels transparent and keep only the lines in your scanned images.
Warping Grid : to distort images. Used correctly, you can even imitate 3D rotations!
Advanced Keyer : to rid of greenscreen or bluescreen backgrounds from video footage elements for later compositing.
Blurs : gaussian, cubic, motion, central... for simulating motion blurs or depth-of-focus.
Stylize Effects : for stylizing your imagery with borders, glows, drop shadows or toonshading.
Transitions : fades, page turn...

...and many more!
