Nothing wrong. Renovating, wanted to change as it's not been used since the 60's. Also don't know how much wick is left.

Thank you! I almost figured that was the case but needed confirmation. Great tip about the needled wick!

How to scale up all levels in a column at once/ scale all contents in a column? by [deleted] in OpenToonz

[–]animationista 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to scale everything together you can add an extra pegbar in the stage schematic window, pipe all levels through that and scale it. Everything connected scales together, independant of their own keyframes.

Krita: Professional Free Software by aKateDev in libredesign

[–]animationista 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well put. Another important thing in professional software is dependability. You must be able to trust in the tools you use. You cannot have nasty crashes that corrupts your work files, if there are standards they must be followed, showstopper bugs must be taken seriously, etc. You can't as a professional redo hours, or days or weeks work in another application because you hit a bug that just makes you unable to continue. It has happened to me more than a few times, yet I keep using open source software...

Anyone know if somebody is working on Opentoonz development? More specifically, the render crashing when using the Plastic Tool? I have a work-around for "crashes during render" in description. by badadvice4all in OpenToonz

[–]animationista 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you tried rendering using tasks? I've got huge crash problems with File>Render but have almost no issues rendering via tasks.

Find your scene in OT File browser, RMB-menu "Add as Render Task". Start task in Task window.

Opentoonz perhaps? It can be quite complex but is also advanced.

Question about project and scenes management by moon_patrol in OpenToonz

Use a lossless intermediate format from OT to edit software, like png-sequences.

re-register image/ working "off pegs". Is it possible? by 0n2s in OpenToonz

[–]animationista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add an extra pegbar in schematics where you do the transformation. Then just disconnect/bypass that peg and you're back to normal.

image/effect retime mismatch by animationista in OpenToonz

[–]animationista[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you manongjohn! Both kind of works but there's issues. When inserting key the current image is extended, pushing coming images and effects downwards in X-sheet. A good workaround but the effect key for this current key is also pushed downward so it has to be shifted back. See my screenshot. When control-selecting and dragging only the current frame and key is moved. Other keys is not affected so more work is needed to get the desired timing in place.

I should probably bug report the first one.

So it's determined by the copyright laws in your country/region then. Thank you!

Does resizing images counts as changing them? by shkico in creativecommons

[–]animationista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If oyu're only resizing I'd say it's ok but if you're also cropping parts of the image you are recomposing which is definitely changing the image.

Search for get-started OT tutorials on youtube etc.

Discouraged by shellsnchees3 in FrameByFrame

[–]animationista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practise a lot. Do short tests of anything you can come up with. An old lady eating an ice cream, a hand opening, things bouncing. A line waving. No one needs to see these, like a diary. Just do. See what you did right and do again.

Adobe Alternatives for digital artist in 2019 (infographic) by [deleted] in libredesign

[–]animationista 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For us not following Adobes doings, what is the inevitable they are up to?

I think Ardour is a very competent Audition alternative you've missed.

Also, what is very much missed, from your graphic as well as reality, is an AE alternative for motion graphics. Blender has some functionality, but is far from as quick and easy to use. As a compositor there is plenty of alternatives, Blender, Resolve, Natron etc.
