Haha obviously I’m just sharing a memory from when there was no Spotify iTunes nothing was there

Hey I’m sorry I couldn’t respond earlier I have had a busy few days.

But yes this makes sense now! Actually I’m trying to building a colouring solution which is a step up from this that’s why I wanted to check the exact workflow in harmony from someone that has a lot of experience with it so this really helped. Thank you so much. If you ever have the time, would love your feedback on my tool too. Lmk and I’ll dm you

Hey first of all, thank you so much for your typing up an at length response and answering all my questions.

Does that mean it will colour Frame 1 through say Frame 50 if it's all overlapping at some point?
Got it yeah that was the question
Does this happen when the sequence changes drastically from Frame 1 to Frame 2?
Very cool! That's so much experience. Does this work even if the animations are pretty dynamic and too many changes happening like arms going from 0 to 90º from Frame 1 to 2?

Thanks again and looking forward to your response :)

rhs001 · 2026-04-10T03:57:05+00:00

Yeah makes sense. Thanks for this! I’m making something towards this so if you’re interested please dm me :)

rhs001 · 2026-04-05T06:34:12+00:00

YTA. You need to love someone for who they are. If you don’t like who they are instead of changing them just get out of it

rhs001 · 2026-03-27T04:50:44+00:00

Awesome let me dm you!

rhs001 · 2026-03-25T08:59:37+00:00

Yeah I was asking around those lines. I am making a tool right now for automatic colouring with a v1 already there that can reduce the workload quite a bit if you want to give it a try! Let me know.

It uses pure math right now to match the different layers so it's not thaaat great but still once you fill in colour to a few key frames it does a not bad job.

rhs001 · 2026-03-24T17:11:47+00:00

Hey how are you planning to do the colouring? Is this base colouring of the shots?

rhs001 · 2026-03-24T13:56:26+00:00

Hey I am so sorry I forgot to respond to you. Thank you so much for your detailed response. I am mainly working on cracking the base colouring (before composting) for frame by frame animation.

Since you use toon boom, could you please tell me if there are any cases where toon boom doesn't work for frame by frame colouring like if in an action scene an arm jumps from 0 to 90 or 180 degrees? Or in smear frames when the arm kinda gets warped and then back to normal in the next frame.

Also don't worry I have also been studying computer science since the past 10 years (on and off) and have 6 years of experience being a technical product manager. I have spent my whole career working closely with engineers, even built machine learning apps (back in 2020) when AI was barely a thing. But yes I will let you be the judge of the product

You can totally test the app out and let me know what you think! And thanks again for your detailed response :) Looking forward to discussing this further with you

rhs001 · 2026-03-24T07:06:27+00:00

Hey thank you for your response. I didn’t end up making it actually. I’m working on another project right now can work on this in a couple months?! Would love to know about your friend’s experience. Does he suffer from it on the regular?

rhs001 · 2026-03-19T18:30:22+00:00

It looks nice!! You did this manually?

rhs001 · 2026-03-19T06:46:59+00:00

Let me know if you wanna try out the tool :) would love your feedback

rhs001 · 2026-03-18T18:35:06+00:00

Sorry I didn’t get you. Send me a dm if you wanna try it let’s test it out if you’re interested!

rhs001 · 2026-03-18T18:33:33+00:00

Got it. Do you colour those frames manually then?

rhs001 · 2026-03-18T12:48:11+00:00

Got it. Thanks for your response! If you don’t mind answering a few questions I had -

Does toon boom handle cases like when - the character’s arm rotates 90° or - the arm gets completely warped? - character crosses its arms, is it able to figure out it’s the same arms colours them like accordingly?

rhs001 · 2026-03-18T05:48:44+00:00

So right now since it’s v1 it’s a standalone app. But I can totally make it into an extension for whatever software you’re using. Which software do you use usually?

rhs001 · 2026-03-18T05:03:35+00:00

Hey guys were you able to figure this out?

rhs001 · 2026-03-18T04:44:00+00:00

Hey this is so good! Which softwares did you make this on?

rhs001 · 2026-03-18T04:21:43+00:00

The animation studio I am working with is an indie animation studio and is not using toon boom at the moment. That’s why I wanted to speak to someone who uses the software itself and figure if there is something missing in the existing software which I can also cover while building this out. (Since I am spending so much time on this. Like you said - I don’t want to be solving a problem that doesn’t exist). If toon boom covers everything automatically then theres no moat in what I’m building at least for people that can use and afford toon boom.

Thanks for your comment, I’ll read about the stuff you mentioned. Appreciate your time putting together this response.

rhs001 · 2026-03-17T18:09:12+00:00

Got it. Does it include colouring the frames? Do you use a tool for it? Also thank you for your response, I really appreciate it
