TVPaint Animation 11.7.0 is available!

Post by Thierry »

Hello everyone!

TVPaint Animation 11.7.0 is now available! We have a lot of new things for you :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What’s new in TVPaint 11.7.0?

General:
  • The TVPaint Converter is available!
    It is a new application that can be used to convert your TVPP files to various video formats. It can also be used to convert your video files to TVPP. More info can be found on the Documentation page (link here).
    Please keep in mind that the TVPaint Converter is only available with the dongleless Professionnel Edition of the software. If you do not have the dongleless version yet, or are using the Standard Edition, please use our Contact Form and our team will be happy to help you.

    The Converter is available on Windows and macOS (starting from 10.15 Catalina).
    Due to technical issues, there is no Linux version of the Converter yet. It will be ready for version 11.7.1, scheduled to be released before the end of the year.
  • New Interface scaling options are available: 1,5x and 2,5x.
  • The Color Group panel now refreshes itself when modifying layer’s color groups.
  • Added a marker to indicate an image has been flipped X/Y

    One image per file, and one file per image (single images as well as image sequences). Images in the PDF file are full sized. Exported PDFs do not have DPI stored in them.

  • It is now easier to catch the layer handles, as they are wider, and their color change to blue when grabbed
