I'm having a problem with opentoonz, I can't import any audios or at least if I am, I can't see them. I have downloaded ffmpeg, I have tried using wav and aiff files, but nothing will work. Does anybody know what's wrong?

Hello,

When I try to convert like a simple polygon from razer to vector with the level option my toonz show me the preview thing but when I press convert there is written "1.7 Critical - the current selection is invalid." please help me I see nobody talking about this. ;'( thanks for reading !

I was trying to find an animation app and really liked openToonz since its free and lam doing it as a hoppy ,but l found a lot of people quiting it because it crashes alot .. is it stable now at the end of 2024 ? Or should l go somewhere eles ?

i've put an image to be the background of my animation, but when i drag the freaking image, it asked for an way how to put the image or something, i forgot, you probaly already passed throught that when dragging the image by the first time, but i marked an option, that only i've realised after selection that probaly isnt the right option, so everytime i drag an image in, it doesnt appear, and when i attempt to do that by "loading level" and selecting an PNG, the program closes itself, sorry if my description wasnt that clear.

I have a Clip Studio file set up with all the elements for rigged animation (arms, hands etc) with each element being on a separate Clip layer. I've been doing some form of messed up puppet animation on Clip but this latest one has so many parts that it might be easier to just move it to OpenToonz and rig it properly

I'm used to Clip but completely new to OpenToonz so have no idea what I'm really doing.

What is the best way of moving the layers onto an Opentoonz file? (I will export every Clip layer if I have to)

Do I just import everything as pngs? how do I import multiple pngs at once if that's the case?

Where do I put all the elements when I'm inside OpenToonz? I've got a vague idea of how to do the rigging itself, just no idea how to get everything between programs

Hello, I'm new to Opentoonz, everytime I try to open my save file it won't launch and this error just appears. What do I do?

All the ones I've found from youTube are outdated and when I download from the official site it never works

I'm keying in the level palette because I want colors to change throughout the animation. But in the function editor, although I see sections for the XYZ positions, Scale, Shear, etc... I don't see any section for colors, therefore I don't see any keys.

I have a layer with a character.

Above this character layer, I will put the lightspot node, which connects to the glow node, which connects to XSheet. Result:

However, I want the character to look exactly as I have it (affected by the lightspot+glow), but remove the bright circle itself.

I tried putting a matte like this:

But unfortunately, the result is this:

You can see that the glow gets matted onto the character as intended, but why does the character turn black?

Is there a way to do what I'm intending?

i've quit from Pencil2D because i didnt like my slow rythm when animating, so i've looked for something free that "kind remebers Flash"(chatGPT said that, dont know exaclty, but hey, i heard studio Ghibbli used this.) anything you would like to say that managed to maked you all didnt quit animating? i know is not the tool, is the user, but i still wanted something that allows me to do something quicker... i guess.

As far as I know, onion skin only shows drawings on the current level/ layer that you're working on. Is there a way to make it show past drawings on MULTIPLE layers?

Hey guys, I have a windows 10 notebook with 1920x1080 screen resolution.
Comfortable everyday scale of everyting is 150%.

So problem is, with default (or with high dpi scale settings in win compatibility menu set to "software") OpenToonz ui scale either goes to huge 200% (when win ui scale set to 150 or 175) either to painfully small 100% (at 125-100 in win settings)/
If I set high dpi scale settings in compatibility menu set to "OS", then OpenToonz ui get proper (125 or 150 or 175) scale and not getting rounded to 100 or 200, but is getting pretty blurry =\

Can you guys gave me some directions out of this crisis, please?
Sadly CSS is something of unknown black box for me and I don't know if it's the thing I should look for, and if it is, am I suppose to go learn whatever language it is to make an animation? =| (yeah, I guess I'm a bit salty about this one right now)

update: I tried to make my own custom theme by copying existing Dark one, searching and changing font sizes to significally smaller ones, but it didn't made difference in workspace ui, only in preference menu itself (precisely, made names of different preference sections smaller)

So I already have the FFMPEG installed on my Opentoonz but when I import the Video file it uploads with way too many frames so when I play it it's in slow motion. And when I import the audio file it plays at a normal speed. Anyone know how to fix this?

I forgot how to activate the guided drawing feature for the auto in-between tool. The one where it shows you the start and end of each line though the onion skin?

the square doesn't appear on all frames/levels

I recently had to restore my PC to factory settings, so I lost everything, and yesterday I tried to download the setup installer from opentoonz website.

But the website never loads, and after a while it gives me the error that something went wrong to try to se if my connection is okay, the internet is fine because other websites are working.

Is there any news about the server being down, or is there another place I can download the installer from ?

Thank you !

EDIT : thank you for the links everyone, I think the problem might have been the slowly ness of the site then, I ended up being able to load the main page latter in the day, but the download page was not cooperating.

Hi! I currently have a parent layer that I am moving with the Animate tool. I want the layer to move from point A to point D, but it goes smoothly/sliding from A, B, C then D.
I know I can make a keyframe just before point D, which then changes it from point A to D.
I was wondering if there was a toggle or a setting I could flip, so that I could reduce the amount of keyframes I would have to make. But if there isn't then I will stick with my two point plan.

Was looking for a way to draw notes and stuff over my rough animations (to jot down stuff or figure out timing, etc.). Right clicked on column and picked "note level." Can't do anything with it outside of xsheet apparently, but I'm not sure what I can do with it in the xsheet? Is it for what I need? What is it?

Otherwise. How to draw notes over portions of animation while still seeing the onion skin? lol

wanted to re-release the Surgery,

The Surgery 2022 - YouTube

which I built 100% in OpenToonz released originally in 2022. I was inspired by the great Disney artists of the early-mid 20th century and used techniques like Rotoscoping, cut-out animation and also leveraged OpenToonz's stage schematic, skeleton tool, parenting and layers. As I am trying to grow my YouTube channel, if you like this video feel free to also subscribe. My channel name is "Cg constraints"
