Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

I optimised the XML export. It took over 4 minutes on a 60+ shots storyboard and now render under a minute. Turns out rendering individual frames take a lot more time than simply rendering sequences, so now it just renders each frame of a hold anyway. The XML only adds the first frame of the hold th...

When you 'Hide' a clip. It gets a cross and gets greyed out. This is very useful. There's a bug that makes the feature a bit problematic though: However, when you hover over the clip, the cross and grey overlay often disappear. Sometimes they re-appear on mouse-over, but dissapear again when the mou...

[...] Create a shortcut that toggles between Project / Clip: Timeline tabs [...] Well at least I got this to work. ScriptName = "toggle_project_clip_view" tv_ReadUserString ScriptName "State" "clip" State = result IF CMP(State, "clip") State = "project&q...

Perfect! Thank you

Can I get the name of a Colorgroup with George?

Thanks in advance

I reworked it a little bit for our pipeline. My version is in my panel: https://github.com/lukaskrepel/TVP-Lukas-Sketch-Panel make sure you update to the latest version. Read the Suggested folder structure for projects part of the readme if you're interested in using it too. There's a "Clips to...

Layer selection often shows selection wrong. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a project with 5 layers 2. Make sure you have no layers selected (of course the current layer will be highlighted, this doesn't matter) 2. Hold Shift and click the thumbnail of the top layer to select it 3. Keep holding Shift...

That works perfectly! Thanks

Interesting. We mainly use the export to XML for storyboarding, so I decided to never overwrite images to make sure edits don't break. It's not a big deal to add shots later, as they will always be new image files. I understand the need to overwrite though! Good luck with that. I'll be looking forwa...

I'm on an old 2018 Macbook Pro

You're welcome :) Yeah for stamp mode I remember that on my out of peg script I needed to store it separately and restore it separately with a specific command Would you mind sharing the code of storing and restoring the stamp mode? I couldn't find the script you mentioned. My brushes with 'Alpha St...

Yeah I understand. Actually even standard TVPaint functions sometimes do something different depending on the tab. For example, the default shortcut for down arrow: "Layer: Go Down": Behaviour in Clip: Timeline: Go to next layer Behaviour in Project view: Go to next clip I recently discove...

Also, you can write/read text anywhere in the clip dialogue/notes textboxes, project infos, and you can write text files with george

Ah, good to know. Thanks!

Apart from the info not being up to date and most menu items under 'Help' not working, there really shouldn't be 2 'About' menu items. Same goes for preferences/settings. Just have those 2 items only where they're supposed to be and where users will expect them, which in macOS' case is under the 'TV...

Sometimes hitting escape works to get it back to work. Or hit escape multiple times. What could be causing this? I *think* it usually happens when switching applications. But also after playing the animation. Even on very simple files. Have not been able to reproduce it consistently, but it happens ...
