@@janimates2204 I gave up, still have no idea.... but I’ll probably try it again without the dot. I’ve tried looking up other ways but still cannot figure it out, if you do find out beforehand, let me know pls!!! :)
@@denissemerino2394 i made copies of all my frames and since it renamed the frames to ‘1 - Copy.png’ etc, and when i copied it over into the xsheet it worked, i just had to rearrange them.

Is it possible to have more than one imported file in a level? When I import files, even if I import them simultaneously, they always create different levels.
How do we remove the bounding box from the .png? I'm trying to upload things for an animation, but there's a thin grey box around all the images I drag and drop into OpenToonz. Any advice?
I figured this out a while ago, I didn't do anything wrong I'm just stupid lmao. The bounding box only shows when the symbol is selected, nor does it show up in animation.
Hey I am having problem moving images with this grey box. This box seems to restrict the position and scaling of the image inside of it. Though in the tutorial he was moving there positions freely. Whay am I doing wrong?
@@travelari , that is a similar problem I'm having creating vector images in Inkscape. So far the work around is export it as a PNG file and then import to opentoonz.
Thank you so much for all these Videos! Quick question if I could? How would I go about making something that would look like it was spinning....like a chicken on top of a weather vein? I cant seem to make a simple image like that spin on the spot without drawing it many times. Rotation doesn't seem to work , shear can sort of but not really. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
Idk if I missed something but how do you change the images sizes? When I tried to use my own drawings and exported the video the images were so big you couldn't see what was going on
I notice I can change the names of the columns. Always, the leftmost column is "Col1", the next "Col2" and so on, even after moving them around. But if I name one of them something like "woof" (it's a cartoon dog image) the name "woof" stick with the contents of the column as I drag it anywhere left or right. I assume this is a useful feature, but haven't done any animations complex enough yet to know why.

What i've found is if you make an SVG file in Inkscape and try to import it to opentoonz, it may or may not take it. There is no rational reason why some images in SVG form, even plain SVG in Inkscape is all screwed up when imported to opentoonz. There are forum posts about this and the general idea is that they don't play well with one another. He is importing PNG, NOT SVG. This appears to be a flaw of one or both of the software programs. So, if you think you'd like to create a drawing in Inkscape to use in opentoonz FORGET IT. Save yourself the trouble.
So I am trying to create a puppet in vector, how can i copy parts of the body to paste onto a new level to create symmetry ? There is no copy/paste option
Just wondering - what difference is there between dragging two images from the same level to two different columns and with creating two levels and dragging one image from the first level to the first column and the second image from the second level to the second column? Like what significance does that have? And by the way - I'm a total noob to this.
My version of OpenToonz looks different. I dont have the 'Basics' room at the top right. If i import a PNG, on the right it says image with a thumbnail of it. If i click on the thumbnail, I am then no longer able to do anything. Opentoonz just says "The current tool cannot be used in Level Strip mode" and I can't find a way out of it other than close the programme and start again from scratch. I tried Googling how to set up the rooms as you have. I have added a room, but can't add e.g. timeline etc - please can someone set out clear step by step guidance how to do this? Otherwise I can't follow any of these tutorial videos.
Anyone knows how I can adjust a picture without the animate tool? I'm having trouble with some pictures that I imported on the same level and then adjusted so that the character drawn on it has the same proportions, but since each of them had different adjustments, it just... Animated the whole thing with zoom ins, zoom outs and spins, as it should! But I was not going for a goofy powerpoint animation thingy ^^'
Not sure what you mean but I think its because you are not using the view functions. The red dotted outline is your image size. When you roll the mouse wheel in and out out you see the full display. The red dotted line marked camera1 is the actual image you have "selected". It may be that your "camera" is covering a bigger area than your image.
Select the column with the background image then select scale from the menu. When you move your mouse (sideways), the image size will change. You can adjust it so the camera covers the whole image.
when i upload a picture for a background, once i expand the picture and put it in the center it only shows a upright rectange in the middle of the screen(quite small) sooo annoying. spent my whole evening trying to work it out. now morning trying again. :(
I don't have this basic room. When I want to change the scale of an image I just get an error... How do I do that? Where do I find this basic room? It is not listed in the "windows"
Congratulations on a great course! Question on Tutorial 7 please. Have 3 png images imported to Frame 1, occupying 3Columns. Is it possible to "hide" say two of them in order to Position, Scale, Rotate etc. the other?
You can hide a column by clicking on the cell just under the column name. So under col1 there is an eye. But it will still render as visible. What I think you want to do is select the col you want to work on. Select the animate icon on the left hand menu. Text will apear in front of the image that says "col1". Then you can work on that column position scale etc. Then select the next col by clicking on the col name at the top of the column. Remember the order of columns sets which are in front or behind. So col1 is behind col2 etc.
hey, when i add a png to my page, it works fine the image loaded and is there, but it only has a limited area to draw in the image, how do i get to turn this are off?
Click where the col name is at the top of the column eg col1 this will highlight the whole column then press delete. Will delete the entire column. You can get it back with ctrl z.
Can you import swf or fla files to opentoonz I have a couple animation projects I started in adobe animate but have been thinking of switching to opentoonz for the more flexible drawing tools, is there any way to import a swf or fla file and transfer over the frame data?
Good question. Its not something I've done, and I just did some reading about it. I don't think swf or fla import is supported. You could try to convert them, but frame data would probably be lost. I'm sure there's some way to get that data into OpenToonz though, keep looking.
nice video! can you just help me with one thing please? how do i import png files as an animation? i want every png file to be a frame not a layer... im going insane right now bc nothing seems to be working out...
Good question. The png image sequence should import as single layer with each image being a drawing. Select all the drawing with shift+click and drag them into the xsheet/timeline.
Awesome video! Iv got a problem tho, when i try to import an image with transparrent background, it says no icon on the level collumn and the picture doesnt show, how come and how to fix?
Thanks so much for this great tutorial!!! I have a problem and is that the image I imported looks pretty bad on the edges, like interlaced. So, instead of a nice diagonal line, I have a small stair... and this is the same when I render... Do yoy know if there is a way to solve this issue? Thanks again, I'm learning a lot thanks to your tutorials.
I used an online background remover to remove the white background from one of my pictures and it STILL appeared in Opentoonz. Now I can't drag and drop items I've created elsewhere into the program. Must I redraw it ALL in Opentoonz? I can't because some of it's not drawn because I can't draw well.
I have an issue with loading .jpeg files. When I'm in a new project it seems to work, but when I want to do the same in an existing project which already has some frames, it does not work. Any guesses what I"m doing wrong?
Hey nice work! QQ I created a small animation without background. Now I’m trying to add a new layer and place it before my sketch layer however the background scene keeps writing over my sketch layer. What I am i doing wrong? (That was a mouthful)
whenever i drop down a png file it gets imported as a black and white image with a black background (though the png has no background) and white lines all over the image,it doesn't import colored png file, every file gets black and white,and how to change the level of the impoted file to vector(it is rastor by default) please help
hey, I am not able to import a few sequences of images to the same level even after I imported them simultaneously they are just going to different levels, Great video BTW!!!
For some reason when I import png files into opentoonz, it changes color. For example, if I go into Krita, draw a black circle and fill it with red paint, save it on desktop and there I have it, a png file. But when I open it in opentoonz the red in this case, "changes " to brown... or rather, it goes darker. I cant even change the color in opentoonz cuz its locked. Any idea what might the problem?
Yes. Put your rectangle on. Then load the image. click the animate button select the col with the image in it. You can scale and position the image inside the rectangle.
I have a question - if I try to animate a png, it disappears after saving. I duplicate the frames, edit the png and it only stays on the first frame. I'd really appreciate some help.
I think I had the same issue. The file name used first was "A.B.C_D"(png file) I removed the non alphanumeric characters (._!"*) dragged the image in again and this time it showed the image
just in case you havent figured this out yet, all you need to do is import it into its own column ("Load Level", then find the image in your files and import). Then, select the frame with your image, and use shift-click to select a range of the timeline you want it as your background, then right click that selection and click "Fill in Empty Cells". This repeats the frame for that range.
Just to let you guys know, I've also had a problem loading images (PNG format) into my project with both method shown in the video. I'm using OpenToonz 1.4 btw. I went to the *Xsheet* tab on the top-right corner and right-clicked on an empty level box. I selected the *Load Level...* option and a new window popped up from which I can use to choose which image to load into the project. BUT, just from that, the problem was not solved because a warning popped out that said "A file name cannot be empty or contain the following characters; \ / : * ? " < > |" so I was confused since my files' names only had numbers, I named my image sequence as "1" and so on until the 300+ images so they pops up as "1.png", "2.png", and so on. I finally succeed after changing EVERY image file name to "G001", "G002", "G003", and so on until the last image. LONG STORY SHORT : The file names cannot be empty(untitled), cannot contain symbols, and MUST HAVE AT LEAST AN ALPHABET, I guess. *WARNING* : In case of importing more than one image through the Xsheet, they will be arranged in level 1 of DIFFERENT column (or layers).
how did this actually help me. ive been trying to understand why the hell my image kept showing up as missing, i tried making it a jpg, moving it to different folders, and videos havent helped much but somehow renaming it helped. so thanks
For anyone stumbling upon this years later... Same thing happens in science and other fields. Leading zeros are vital to staying sane. For example 0004.jpg not 4.jpg to keep things straight. Files are often sorted by lexicographic (dictionary) order - like sorting names alphabetically. If digits 0 1 2 etc were letters, using the same logic as sorting a list of people or cities, 1 and 15 and 19 come before 2, as "ann" and "annette" and "arnold" come before "ben". Given, for example the file names 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 12.jpg, 15.jpg, 71.jpg, 129.jpg, 311.jpg the lexicographic order would have them be 1.jpg, 12.jpg, 129.jpg, 15.jpg, 2.jpg, 311.jpg, 71.jpg which is nuts for science and animation. If the files were named 0001.jpg, 0012.jpg, and so on the problem goes away. Still, to be sure, I'd start with a letter too: A0001.jpg, etc. For fun, imagine padding people's names to seven letters by putting enough 'a's in front: "aaaaann", "annette", "aarnold", "aaaaben" - now how do they sort?
Hey! I put in some png images for a scene, saved all levels, and when I return to the scene to continue work later the png images do not save scaling. Is there a way to fix that? Am I missing something? Can someone help me out?
Retracted and edited: Somethings are right, somethings are wrong, there are times neither things would be right or wrong, like who to vote for, Just because somebody's viewpoint is different than yours does not make it wrong or right.
At this point i hate Trump because he's a lying piece of shit. He's a bully and a con man. I had no opinion of Trump prior to his first term as president, and no opinion on anyone who voted for him. But this time anyone who votes for Trump after the bullshit he's pulled is a fucking moron. Biden is no better but for different reasons. They BOTH SUCK and yet we're going to be forced to pick between them. This is so fucked.
@@MadApplesWA "Just because somebody's viewpoint is different than yours does not make it wrong or right." That's not exactly correct. By your logic if someone's viewpoint says "raping little kids is OK" then that's not undeniably wrong: it's just different. Think about that.

I selected the *Load Level...* option and a new window popped up from which I can use to choose which image to load into the project. BUT, just from that, the problem was not solved because a warning popped out that said "A file name cannot be empty or contain the following characters; \ / : * ? " < > |" so I was confused since my files' names only had numbers, I named my image sequence as "1" and so on until the 300+ images so they pops up as "1.png", "2.png", and so on. I finally succeed after changing EVERY image file name to "G001", "G002", "G003", and so on until the last image.
LONG STORY SHORT : The file names cannot be empty(untitled), cannot contain symbols, and MUST HAVE AT LEAST AN ALPHABET, I guess.
*WARNING* : In case of importing more than one image through the Xsheet, they will be arranged in level 1 of DIFFERENT column (or layers).
how did this actually help me. ive been trying to understand why the hell my image kept showing up as missing, i tried making it a jpg, moving it to different folders, and videos havent helped much but somehow renaming it helped. so thanks
For anyone stumbling upon this years later...
Same thing happens in science and other fields. Leading zeros are vital to staying sane. For example 0004.jpg not 4.jpg to keep things straight. Files are often sorted by lexicographic (dictionary) order - like sorting names alphabetically. If digits 0 1 2 etc were letters, using the same logic as sorting a list of people or cities, 1 and 15 and 19 come before 2, as "ann" and "annette" and "arnold" come before "ben".
Given, for example the file names 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 12.jpg, 15.jpg, 71.jpg, 129.jpg, 311.jpg the lexicographic order would have them be 1.jpg, 12.jpg, 129.jpg, 15.jpg, 2.jpg, 311.jpg, 71.jpg which is nuts for science and animation. If the files were named 0001.jpg, 0012.jpg, and so on the problem goes away.
Still, to be sure, I'd start with a letter too: A0001.jpg, etc.
For fun, imagine padding people's names to seven letters by putting enough 'a's in front: "aaaaann", "annette", "aarnold", "aaaaben" - now how do they sort?
whats the output sir?
Can you import audio into this app?
Yes. It imports as a separate column. wav file is good to use.
YES THANK YOUU AA

Hey! I put in some png images for a scene, saved all levels, and when I return to the scene to continue work later the png images do not save scaling. Is there a way to fix that? Am I missing something? Can someone help me out?
"Does that make sense?" 🤭
are u a trump fan? I HOPE NOT
Retracted and edited: Somethings are right, somethings are wrong, there are times neither things would be right or wrong, like who to vote for, Just because somebody's viewpoint is different than yours does not make it wrong or right.
At this point i hate Trump because he's a lying piece of shit. He's a bully and a con man. I had no opinion of Trump prior to his first term as president, and no opinion on anyone who voted for him. But this time anyone who votes for Trump after the bullshit he's pulled is a fucking moron.
Biden is no better but for different reasons. They BOTH SUCK and yet we're going to be forced to pick between them. This is so fucked.
It's no longer about a difference of opinion. The man hass proven himself to be an undeniable massive piece of shit.
Bro wtf?
@@MadApplesWA "Just because somebody's viewpoint is different than yours does not make it wrong or right."
That's not exactly correct. By your logic if someone's viewpoint says "raping little kids is OK" then that's not undeniably wrong: it's just different. Think about that.
