There's something I don't understand here. (But I often still use AE for camera moves though.) TVPaint's hand-drawn animation workflow is just much more elegant to me. I have tried it with Photoshop and AE, but it wasn't worth the headaches. You could go the Photoshop route with After Effect as your animation tool. I think if you value a slick and very modern interface more than reliability then perhaps TVPaint is not your thing. Especially the drawing engine is something unique and a joy to work with! So all wishes and feature requests aside, don't ignore that TVPaint has a lot of great code under it's hood. It has a lot great functionality that will give you much more control over your hand drawn animation and help you produce your work more efficiently than any other method (software or old fashioned pencil and paper) that I can think of. I agree, it's not cheap but I believe it's well worth every penny!Īnd yes, there are improvements to be made, but please don't ignore what is there. It almost never crashes and I have not yet lost any substantial amount of work due to crashes or stability issues for the last, almost 7 years that I have been working with it. I work with the Pro version of TVPaint almost every single day and I want to mention that it is very robust and reliable software. But for more than 1000 euros, I expect that all the interface and experience issues are solve! I cannot buy a program like this and have to do some tweaking work or passby a frustration. when all of this will be solve!įor 200 euros, I will buy for sure as is. May be without the last one, I consider that all of this points ruin my experience with TVpaint. you have to flatten the FX! Why ot keeping them as non destructive like after effect? This kill all the avantage of the FX stack. and the last one, may be the only one really big in proigramming. why not a key for just removeing ALL panels of the screen and let you operate on the image with keyboard? There is some stuff like this, but all are complicated : the v key is not really full screen, diferent workspace change the keyboard. You preview the result ony for one layer and have a lot of clic to acheive what you want. Select and moving a part of the image, if you want to operate on multiple mayer is not accurate. Why cannot just let each clip have a different size? and then you cannot really get the camera size but draw and the big size. You want to draw a storyboard and ALL the shot have to share the same size? So ok, you put ALL the shot according to the bigger one. Impossible to have clip with different size. what about the touch? I couldn't activate it, and pan, zoom with my free hand THIS IS A SMALL STUFF IN PROGRAMMING?, BUT BIG IN THE EXPERIENCE!! It's difficult to press alt everytime when you can just forget you have a keyboard and focus on the drawing. Why should I use the alt key for pan/zoom? Why not the MMB? what is one button of y pencil. if it's the case tell me I will be happy to consider I'm wrong) this black points destroy for me the experience! (ok, this it what I note, but may be there is a workaround for them. I really love in Tvpaint, the pencil render, most of the animation tools, and most of the overall experience. TvPaint is amazing! But some black points really big for me make me resisting to buy it!įor 200 euros, I will buy for sure as is. I'm looking for a 2d animation program since a looong time.
