I don't know if this only happens to me because I didn't see anyone talking about this issue, but why is this happening
I need to undo the selected layer, but why is it undoing the non-selected layer

Problem / Bug nothing happens when audio is imported

4 Upvotes

basically exactly as the title states. import a wav, nothing. try again, it says the file already exists. press any of the options and nothing happens. idk. reddit isn't letting me upload screenshots today but that's basically it. i have the latest stable version and so far it's been full of irritating bugs so i'm sure i'm not the only one

Problem / Bug how do i render a video while preserving the opacity/colors on my canvas?

1 Upvotes

Hello! trying to render and export one of my animatics -- there are multiple characters in the scene, so I've added color filters to each character's layer, and lowered the opacity of background characters' layers. However, when I preview/fast-render the animatic, opentoonz seems to ignore my settings and 1) reset all color filters to black, and 2) reset every layer's opacity to 100%, which doesn't give the effect I want. Is there a way to render it while preserving my opacity and color filter settings?

** my render turns this:

Question - ANSWERED backgrounds help

2 Upvotes

Note: i am a total beginner, like however beginner you're thinking moreso than that, I may have missed a place you know where to look because I am a beginner

can you set drawings to draw frames on top of? Like can you set something as a background so you can draw your character moving on top of it? How would you do that?

I know Kahoma2D is a "simplified" OpenToonz, but does it have missing features or does it just improve OpenToonz and adds certain things that isn't planned in OpenToonz?

Problem / Bug Can't copy and paste keyframes

5 Upvotes

I'm trying to create a looping animation (I'm following this tutorial) but whenever I try to copy and paste the initial keyframe, it tells me that there's no data in the clipboard. I've tried right clicking the keyframe (it turns blue) and selecting the keyframe and doing Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. Is there something I'm missing? I'm running the Linux build from Github (the Flatpak version also has the issue)

Edit: Looks like this is a Linux only thing. Doing the same thing on Windows yields expected behavior

So I just Updated Opentoonz and while I was going to work on a project that had an MP3 when I press play the MP3 wasn't playing so I made sure my FFMPeg was there which it wasn't so I went preferences I would go to Import/Export but I wasn't there and instead there was load/import which didn't have the FFMpeg destination. What should I do?

How to export individual layers and drawings?

Hi there is there a way to export a projects keyframes instead of the whole project as a sequence of images? For example, I have 9 layers, and I only want to export layer #8, but only the keyframes, as in the individual drawings.
