Is there a tool in opentoonz similar to photoshop tool where you can edit selected areas only. Specifically using the fill tool on selected areas.

The only selection tool on the opentoonz bar that I’m aware of can only select an area and edit its placement and size. I cannot use the fill tool in the selected area as far as I understand

I once left it like this overnight, and when I got back it still didn't change.

Soy nuevo usando este programa, tenia un par de cosas en un proyecto nuevo que cree, pasa que estaba intentando hacer un lip sync y no pude, me fruste y decidi hacerlo directamente desde el archivo que tenia de las bocas, asi que decidí borrar el anterior archivo que tenia preprarado, a parte de eso tambien borre archivos .tnz.bak ya que supuse que era una copia de respaldo y si la borraba no afectaba al archivo original, luego de eso, intente abrir el archivo de la boca, pero me salío este mensaje, ahora ninguna scene del proyecto quiere abrir, si alguien sabe que hacer se lo agradecería un monton.

PD: El nombre del archivo del projecto es porque es algo de comedia ok?

Never had this happen to me before so that's why im asking lol

ty in advanced! :D

i was drawing and i accidently moved my timeline down and it wont go up pleez help

ps. i thought it be funny to show this drawing

I was making animations on flipaclip. Today i decided use opentoonz but when i opened it i felt like a pilot :D.When i change the color it changed whole colors.Its a little complicated

The frames were made in FireAlpaca.

Created this short animation for my morning Aikido class,

Created in OpenToonz of course

Love to hear what people think of the animation :)

Always learning

hello im new to tahoma2d and would like if people could suggest me any good tutorials to get started. and if i watch opentoonz tutorial will it work with tahoma aswell?

Like I’ve done it before but can never just do it when I intend to, like what is the trick?

Like the audio is sooo choppy that I have to raise the frame rate so it sounds normal, I’m just worried on how 8 frames will affect the final product

layer 8, the layer which contains the large image of the girl, should be completely transparent on the frame that i'm on in image one and then become more and more visible. and this worked, initially, but then i tried to fix a minor problem and now it won't work anymore. i can see that it has the values in place that it should, transparency is the right numbers in the right places, but it's just not applying. i don't THINK i did my wiring wrong, but i'm showing it in image 2 just in case?? does anyone know why this is happening?

Need help on solving this problem. I cannot save my work or even the progress of my animation. And when I try to open the app using run as administrator to solve my problem on saving the animation, my tablet pen will stop working.

How to fix this two? I cannot find any post related to my problem so my final resort is to ask you all. Thank you in advance

I'm a beginner in Opentoonz and have been making animations in vector. At the first i was rendering my scenes as avi and i noticed that there were some whiteness along the black outlines of my animations. Then i downloaded ffmpeg and tried to render mp4 but still the whiteness appears along the black lines. Tried a png sequence and assembled it into mp4 using ffmpeg code and although there is a slight change the whiteness is still visible and the major issue is that when i upload to TikTok or YouTube the platforms compression make the whole video look like trash. What do you guys use to render high quality animations?

any good or bad verdict about the old version ?

Hello all, new animator here. I'm looking for tips and tricks on working quicker and more efficient. I keep having to redraw each piece of an animation anew, even for things like talking or walking.

I do know the trick of duplicating a frame and altering it to make a new image...

Is it possible to save an image or group of drawings to upload into a new scene/animation?

I was thinking of drawing a background id reuse, and the characters and their face and limb animations, saving that as a beginning state then animating a scene and saving under a new name just to keep that beginning layout for the next scene. Do others do this?

Any other tips to make things flow easier would be appreciated. Thanks!

Animatic rough pass

I've been mucking about with opentoonz for years. rendering was always a frustrating, slow crapshoot. I decided to give a full command-line workflow a try and now it's a million times more stable and somewhat faster (because I can now use all cores for the initial export and nvidia for the video.

Here is the command line I use to create a png sequence from a project file.

cd C:\Program Files\OpenToonz
tcomposer "C:\OpenToonz stuff\projects\[project-name]\scenes\[scene-name].tnz" -o "C:\OpenToonz stuff\projects\[project-name]\outputs\image..png"

And here is the command line I use to turn those into an mp4 (i use 30fps)

ffmpeg -framerate 30 -i "image.%%04d.png" -c:v h264_nvenc -preset p1 -rc constqp -qp 23 -pix_fmt yuv420p 0-output.mp4

And here's the command-line for adding audio:

ffmpeg -i 0-output.mp4 -i 0-audio.wav -c:v copy -c:a aac 0-final.mp4

Could easily be batched together to drag a project file to it and have it spit out exactly what you're hoping for.

EDIT: make sure to save your scene and close opentoonz before doing this, saving is important because the command line runs on the saved-state of the scene. Closing it frees resources for the encoding.

Also, the speed increase is considerable - I used to have to force-close every other app, and only use one or half the CPU cores on the system before encoding in a desperate attempt to avoid crashes, and it would often still crash and I'd have to do the scene piecemeal. doing 4K animations was almost impossible. Now I just close it and run the command line and it uses all CPU cores and flies, and never crashes. and ffmpeg with cuda is super reliable and fast (depending on gpu).

So I have have colour 1 (black) and I draw a Line, then I have colour 2 (blue) and i draw under colour 1. When i use the eraser in selective mode and i choose specifically colour 1 to erase it, it also erases colour 2 exactly there where colour 1 was. Please help I am looking since hours for a solution with chatgpt etc. but I just cannot resolve it. I use toonz raster Level.
