Exporting to older version of TVP

Post by GerhardHuman »

Hi, I'm running TVP standard edition V11.5.3-64bit on Mac.
I'm working with a freelancer that's running an oder version on Windows (I think)
He can't open my project files and I've tried exporting my scene to an older tvp project via the EXPORT mode (Clip: Layers structure)
He still can't open it.
There's no options in that export process... you can only select older tvp project

I also tried the csv option but how do you import a csv file??

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks

If I end up just exporting all my layers to .png sequences in folders... is there an easy way to import them all into a new project? There will be a few layers... and we might end up doing this a few times... :P

How old is that person's version? I can create and open TVP files back and forth from 11 to 10 and vice versa without problems.

Hey thanks Slowtiger. He's running 10.0.16 but he can't open my projects. Also the "old tvp" export doesn't open in his :(

I tried saving a project from the latest 11.5.3, it opens without issue in the 10.0.18 (sorry, that's the only version I could find running on Linux).

Would you mind sharing your project, so that we can do further testings ?

Hi
It looks like it could be related to the project file compression (check the preferences panel, there's an option in the 'save' tab) :idea:
From the doc: "Compressed files cannot be read by TVPaint Animation versions older than the 10.5.0 version."
