Very informative and easy to understand! Thank you! Who knew a stack of pancakes could help out with drawing? 😆

Copying layers does not work like in the 3:00 mark. When I do that the layer is just blank. The eye icon beside the layer displays closed eyes. Why is this happening?

Hi my canvas is just black I can't draw on it. Any suggestions?

My panels are not showing the little icons on the right hand side 9version 6.0) - so I can't drag int the background from another panel and add it . Is there a setting I need to turn on?

Hi Camerado, it sounds like you might be in the timeline view instead of the thumbnail view. This may help: docs.toonboom.com/help/storyboard-pro-6/storyboard/reference/views/thumbnails-view.html

I figured out the solution. For some reason, if the Thumbnails panel in the window is too small, the layer icons won't display. Just grab the top of the Thumbnails bar at the bottom of the screen and drag it upwards a little bit, and it should work.
