Great video....I don't want my reference layer to be full color - can I not fade it somehow? Thanks

[@professorchris]

I'm pretty sure you could do this with a hue/saturation adjustment layer

GREAT!! can I import videos? I would like to animate some illustrations on top of a video

[@professorchris]

I'm not sure, but you could definitely screenshot the video and import that image.

How do i troubleshoot if my photos aren’t opening if I’m pulling them from my photos app? It doesn’t load the photo onto my drawing space and doesn’t create a layer for it.
