Im fairly new to Opentoonz. Is there a way I can edit the level of already created cells? I keep wanting to copy and paste a sequence of cells and change some things separately it but can't get them to not sync. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry if this is worded weirdly, I haven't animated in years. I used to animate exclusively in Flash, so I I'm trying to see if OpenToonz has the equivalent of what I am looking for.

In Flash I remember I could say, draw my character in a scene and turn them into an object (I believe that's what it was called) The object was it's own instance, if I clicked on it, it took me to a separate timeline and I could animate the character walking, blinking, idling, etc.

Then, I could go back to my scene and no matter how long the scene is, that character would continue to do their idle or walk animation on a loop while other things happen in the scene. This was very helpful to give them a walk cycle, then go into the scene and move the object of the character side to side so it looks like they are walking or flying across the frame.

Is there any equivalent of this for open toonz? Or do I have to draw each frame moving across the screen? It's just really difficult for me to keep proportions and everything exact if I'm drawing a new walk frame and trying to make them look natural walking across the screen or getting bigger/smaller.

Maybe this is just an instance of "get gud" but if there's a way to do what I mentioned with the object, any tutorials or advice would be so appreciated! I have no idea how to word this on Google to yeild an accurate result.

I was wondering how to change the background color of the levels editor, and poked around and found the answer. Got to File -> Preferences -> Color -> Level Editor Box Color and adjust the values as needed. For me white makes the most since for what I am doing. I didn't see this answer in my searches so I'm posting to hopefully help out the next person looking for this.

Edit: It seems you might also need to change the Viewer BG color with Vector Layers.

How can I do this? I like to do all lot of layers/level and it would be convenient if I could get on the targeted level by just clicking on the part of that level in the canvas

In the preview it looks fine but when I render it it loses the loop and the frame rate speeds up so it looks really poor, can anyone help me loop it and keep the frame rate the same so it looks the same rendered as it does in the program please?

Hi, I accidentally made two of my colums purple and not green, now I can not edit these layers and I don't know what to do

If you know how to fix it, please help🙏🙏

How do I decrease the thickness of my vector line? Regardless of the size of the scenes (whether 1920×1080 or 10000), the line size equivalent to 1 remains the same, and I would like something thinner, and I can't put numbers below 1 (like 0.5) except 0.62 for some reason. I've already asked chat gpt and none of their solutions worked, what do I do? (this comment was translated from Portuguese to English by the translator, forgive any mistakes)

No matter what level I use, no matter if I turn off the range, It's just not working

Hi! I can't tell whether this is a bug or if I just don't understand how OpenToonz's saving process works. When I go to "save all," I get the "save scene" window, and clicking the save button doesn't seem to do anything. I don't think it's saving, because when I try to close the software, I get the popup asking if I want to save first or discard my changes, and clicking save all just brings me back to the window where the save button doesn't seem to work.

It would probably help if I knew what a saved OpenToonz "file" (folder structure?) was supposed to look like to begin with. Oddly, I can see the drawings from one project I tried to save (in outputs), but not the other. Also, I know it's simple, but can anyone tell me how to open files? I could probably figure it out if I could save any, but asking now just in case. (Or maybe I am saving and just don't know how to open the files.)

Sorry if this is a simple question, but I've been trying to figure this out for days, and I've read the manual and most tutorials don't mention saving at all. I'm also on a mac if it makes a difference. Any info would be helpful, thank you in advance!

See I know it's a open source software and it's development is slow but there are some features missing that are really needed for me like perspective tool and some other(I don't wanna shift to tohoma), which they don't have in the current version, so I wanted to know when can we see the new version fully out?

where can i learn opentoonz for free basic to advance ??

Hello! I'm trying out with OpenToonz on my new Kamvas 13 Gen 3 display tablet. I don't know if you guys have same tablet as mine using OpenToonz on it. I'm having problems with setting up with the panels on my Kamvas screen to make it fit and not too clutter..if you have any tips or have settings display already. Don't be afraid to share your tip or show image display on your tablet?

Hello everyone! I'm just getting started with OpenToonz.

According to the tutorials, when I right click at a node an effects menu should pop up. Instead, I'm getting what's in the picture. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance!

So long story short, I prefer animating on vector levels but I copy colors from raster levels since I can take colors from my character sheets (which I cant do on a vector level). At some point I couldn't load my project because of an error message that raster colors cant be loaded.

I started a new one and tried to repeat the coloring process, however I tried to remove the colors from the raster level from my character sheet, and it crashed the program. Since then, Ive noticed that EACH TIME I add a color on a raster level and then delete it, opentoonz crashes.

Theres no exception to this,and it seems for some reason when I start a new scene the colors just insert themselves into a new raster level and then corrupt the file. Fortunately it doesnt happen on vector levels, but I cant select colors from images on them.

Any ideas? Help, please? Id be very grateful

Hello, i'm new using this program and i would like to know if there's any way i can reverse the zoom, so by using the mouse wheel to a specific direction, it will zoom in instead of zoom out and vice-versa. How i can do that in the program?

Hello guys, I am trying to set up the scanning functionality on my opentoonz. Here's what I do to setup the scan:

1. I open a new scene in Opentoonz.
2. I make a new blank level in the scene.
3. I press scan in Opentoonz and then through the Epson Scan software that pops up (Epson Scanner DS-1630). The scan looks like it physically occurs on my scanner.
4. Once the scan finishes there is a popup that appears (attached). It says: 'Saving tlv: it is not possible to create the image icon.'
5. When I close the popup and attempt a rescan, the scan is attempted again but the program freezes once it's done. I dont get any scan.

Can anyone help? I can see that my levels are being saved as tlv, but I'm not sure how to understand this.

I have a PNG image of a sky i made for my animation. I brought it into my project as a raster level and frame by frame translated it across the screen, like 70 times. But instead of saving it to the project, the program is saving each frame as its own png copy of the image in the same folder the original image came from. So when i saved and came back to it the frames were all corrupted

Anyone know how to fix this?
