How to create a sequence of empty frames in OpenToonz
Added 2017-12-16 12:50:24 +0000 UTCQuick mini-tutorial! New users of OpenToonz often ask - how to add a sequence of empty frames? This is a sort of operation that is tricky to figure out, so here is a step-by-step recipe:
- Create a new level (if you haven't yet)
- Make sure you have Level Strip panel visible. If not - choose "Windows" -> "Level Strip" from menu.
- In the Level Strip panel right-click the last frame and choose "Add Frames..."
- Set the correct numbers for "From" and "To" fields. If you clicked on frame 10 and want to add 5 frames, then set "From" to 11 and "To" is going to be "15".
- Click "Add".
- Select created frames in Level Strip - click on first frame, then hold Shift and click last frame.
- Drag selected frames to the Timeline (XSheet).
Why do someone need a sequence of empty frames? Check the end of the video for answer! (OpenToonz 1.2.0 or later required).
P.S. Note for Flash fellows: yes, we already thinking about F7. ^__^
