tvpp files, but then for Scenes 6 - 11 you need to keep those together, then all of those scenes could be in a single. Say Scenes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are all separate. If you absolutely need to keep some scenes together for continuity sake (for checking the flow of the cutting from scene to scene) you could keep several scenes together in a single. tvpp project file, because as you add more layers for actual animation the file size will grow quite large and can cause lagging. So as a rule, if you have a storyboard for an entire project that has all the scenes sharing a single timeline, split it up into individual Clips (scenes) before applying any camera moves.Īfter you have completed the animatic I would suggest that each fully animated scene should have it's own TVPaint project file, rather than trying to keep the entire 11-minute project contained in a single. It's fixable after you've split the clips, but it can be a little tedious to retime the camera moves.
NOTE: most of the time you would want to Split the clips before you add any camera moves, because splitting the clip will disrupt the camera move if you've already added one. This will result in the clip now being two new clips. I put the cursor at frame 32 and go to Clip Menu and choose Split Clip. In this example, let's say I already have a scene that I want to split into two scenes (clips) at frame 32. If you've already created a storyboard/animatic that has ALL the scenes sharing a single Timeline in one Clip, then you can use the SPLIT CLIP function in the Clip Menu to split them up into the required number of individual Clips (Scenes).
