How did you record the drawing animations WITH the cursor visible?

As well, in the 3rd tutorial, in the section about the rotating drawing table, you ad the Ctrl+Alt+Left-click-and-drag function, for the more free rotation.

It's very nice to see that TVPain is setting firm feet on it's own now!

Hi Malcooning,

I used a free software called camstudio : http://www.camstudio.org/

CamStudio is able to record your screen activity and there is an option to record the cursor too.

Once you recorded an .avi file with Camstudio, load it in TVPaint Animation and select "background = none" in the timeline.
The cursor should be visible once you play your camstudio-generated avi file.
