I'm wanting to know if there is a way to easily copy or select just the path of any lineart layer and not the lines themselves. I know you an configure the "create color art from line art" button to paste the path somewhere else, but I don't really want to have to do that back and forth every time I want to switch between cleanup and coloring, and my preferred process involves putting shadows on an entirely different drawing layer. If I could just select or copy the paths that would be SO much more convenient for me!

Thank you in advance and I'm willing to clear up any confusion!

Is there a short cut for this? Like when you hit "R" to reset a peg?

To keep it short, im used to copying and pasting drawings and them being cloned(they sync changes) instead of duplicated (the pasted one is independent). And when pasting pegs they would be a duplicate instead of a clone. but now somehow all the pasted pegs are clones. also the effects, everything is cloned now when pasted is there a way to change that??

Recently all my files were wiped off my computer. Luckily there are recovery programs I can use to get most of the important ones back…BUT I cannot find my current Harmony folder with a project I’ve been working on for school. If there is anyone who knows how to recover lost files or maybe even what to look for to recover please let me know.

For more information I have a couple I’ve recovered but it only has the first frame of animation while my others are more. I don’t know why I can only find that one scene.

Please help!

I was animating and then those red lines? Crystals? Bone mode? IDK suddenly approch my screen AND I CAN'T GET RID OFF IT
What this is even called and how can I get rid of it??

just that.

Whatever i try my png sequence always comes with a white background. Tried the different transparency settings in the import dialog box (straight/multiplied with white/multipled with black) and switching between original bitmap/ took boom bitmap drawing, but nothing seems to work. Am i missing something? I desperately need this to work, any help is deeply appreciated. Thanks!

i work on room boom harmony 21 premium

Hello, I usually don't post much on here but I am in desperate need to get my animation back, I have no clue what happend but I accidently clicked on something on my keyboard, and my animation in now fully gone, nothing showing up on the camera view exept for a white screen. I can't even see the grey edge that's usually around the screen.

I can still see my frames in drawing mode, but only very small. When I try to control z my way out of it I'm deleting my drawing progress on the frames.

I'm a total noob in toonboom but I have to use industry Standard for my schools animation course. This is hours of work gone so if somebody could give me advice it would be much appreciated :,)) thank you- Iris

The storyboard pro screen flashes white whenever I draw/hold down a drawing/draw a line in the perspective tool....help!

Do Ik character rigs not work in Harmony Advanced? I’ve downloaded several character rigs and they all end up not working as Ik rigs as they are shown in tutorial videos but instead I get a pop up saying several effects cannot be changed or edited. Then some controls are not displayed at all. Is there anything I can do in Advanced that could make these work or is it simply I would need to have Premium to do any of these things?

Hey there, I've made a similar post, but since I had more than one question, I figured I'd create another thread.

In Adobe Illustrator, I can create a line and adjust its thickness at different points, like this:

Could I do something similar in Toon Boom? I know I can create line weight variation with just the pressure from my drawing tablet, but I'd like to have a bit more control over the process, like in the example.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello there, my question is a bit specific so i've attached some images. I'd like to know if I can turn lines into shapes in Toon Boom.

For example - in Adobe Illustrator, I can use the pen tool to draw a line and adjust its thickness:

I can then click on shape>expand to turn that into a shape with stroke and fill, so it's no longer just a line:

Is there a tool to replicate this in Toon Boom? This helps making neater/cleaner shapes which are required for the task I have to complete right now.

Help would be appreciated.

I followed the directions multiple times to reinstall premium but it always takes me here and I’m not able to acsess harmony

I'm trying to make a rig just so I know how when I need to (for context I'm in college going for animation) and I don't know how many hand types would be necessary and how many would be a waste of time. If anyone would like to number/list them that would be appreciated. Also any other tips regarding shortcuts in making a good rig would be appreciated as well.

Is it possible to separate them? I'm migrating from Krita to TBH and I'm having a rough time replicating my old layout, mostly because I can't seem to find a way to decouple the layers from the timeline, and it's very frustrating to me. Am I missing something or is this plainly not possible at all?

Im using harmony 22 and I can't get symmetry on it. I went to guides and they have perspectives but no symmetry. Why is it not there? Please help thank you :)

Is there a way to have Harmony highlight a color on a character so that you know what Swatch is being used? Or some way that I know what's what if the swatches are not specifically named?

Hi! my cat ran through my keyboard the other day and now my deformers generate ungrouped, is there a way to fix this? is specially annoying since it wont let me use the "create deformer on deformer" tool anymore !!

So if you open a file in essentials but you created it in advanced will anything that you did in advanced be wiped out if you open it in essentials or will it just disable them and make them unavailable and when you open up advanced again all of that stuff is still intact?

I think I know my answer, but does anyone have any interest in helping me with coloring my scenes in Harmony for my short The Good The Bad and The Squishy? I can’t pay you but of course you’ll get a credit.I don’t know if I can find a copy of Harmony for you to use so if you already have it even better. It takes so long to animate and then color, I could really use the help. I can show you how to color in Harmony if you don’t know how although I suppose if you HAVE Harmony you likely know more than me lol.

Pretty sure this is a Bueller... Bueller... moment but I have to ask.
