I try to help speed up this process by giving them the input about all the issues I encounter while working with the soft.Īnimation is indeed labor intensive, so everything that can help making it less intensive, I think, is welcome.
But I know the team does everything they can to make it so. The only problem I see in TVP at the moment is that not everything is userfriendly yet. In ToonBoom for example you have to buy the most expensive version to get the option to take drawings off the pegs! That's why TVP has so many usefull features that are hard to find in other packages. One of the reasons for me to choose for TVP is that the TVP team is really listening to it's customers (at least that's the impression I have). I did my research on different softwares before deciding to buy TVP. And I have to say I certainly prefer the digital way of working. On my current project I did the step towards TVP, leaving traditional paper animation behind. The reason why I am posting these issues is just because I think it is such a fantastic tool, and everything that can help this tool improve is welcome. And as far as I'm concerned, TVP is a blessing. I know there's no easy way, especially if you're searching for bringing quality. I'm working for over 20 years in animation myself. So when you merge 2 clips to become one shot, it seems logical to me that it opens as one shot too. It stays 2 seperate clips, which is anoying, since when you start animating, you want to have all the information of the same shot with you. I noticed that merging 2 clips in the project timeline does not result in opening it as one time line in the "clip:time line". So I wonder if there is another way of working in TVP giving me both advantages, meaning I open a clip containing all the panels within a scene, and being able to print a storyboard with all the panels. The big downside I encountered is that I can not print out my storyboard with all the panels, since TVP only prints the first image in a clip. This seemed a more logical way to me in the production flow than creating a new project panel for every action, because this way I open the clip and start animating, having all the panels with me within the clip I am animating in. Currently I did my storyboard as one clip timeline per shot, containing all the different panels to explain the action within that shot.
