To add the timeline view go to top menu Windows -Toolbars -Timeline View. Like Duplicate Drawing and Create Empty Drawing. This will give you buttons on top of the timeline to quickly change/add properties of the frames. To work faster it is a possible to add Timeline View to your timeline.

So simplest way is to select all frames and rename them. Meaning you can rename the whole colomn or just a range or even one frame. Select all the frames in the colomn, rightclick select Drawings and then select Rename Drawings by Frame. Just as you say: the new draw is called “2_1” and still appears in the end of the drawing substituion.When this becomes annoying you can reorder timeline/x-sheet to make it confirm to drawingnames by doing as follows: As you refine the animation keyframes, holds and exposure naming problems will occure. Now, when planning the scene place the keyframes roughly where timing is working well. Happy to hear you found the right preferences settings. It shows the same as the previous drawing but you can change, delete and manipulate it without changing the original drawing that still excist in the previous frame. Right click the frame and select Drawings. Just select a frame that is filled with the exposure of the previous drawing. To make new drawings between other you might find that using the duplicate drawing command will be a good choise. They will also appear in that manner in the drawing substitution window. So when you now go back to the timeline or x-sheet and create a new drawing layer and then starts to make new drawings you will see that new drawings get the number from the actual frame they are created in.

When chequed make sure to press OK at the buttom of the page. Here you should make sure a cheque mark is visible to the left of line wher is written Use Current Frame as Drawing Name. In this window you will find an erea in the right colomn called drawing creation. And in the preferences window there will be a exposure sheet tab. But anyway you will probably also there find the Preferences. I am not sure what the far left rolldown menur in the network version of Harmony is called. Thats because the stand alone version of Harmony is also called Stage. The far left rolldown menu in the top menu in my version of harmony is called Stage. The top menu is at the very top of the interface. To make the drawings name follow the frame number you have to change the settings in the preferences. i’m a traditional animator and in this kind of things are the first i’m looking for. So, mi question is, there are some way to edit the order of drawings in the drawing substitution? but, if you first draw the keys and then the in between, in the timeline, you have got something like this (for example):ġ-3-5-4-2 (where 1 and 2 are the keys, then i draw the inbetweeners 3,4 and the other more in the middle, the 5).Īnd this is very annoying, especially when you want to reuse the animation. but, when you make a frame by frame animation, i notice that in the library, in the “drawing substitution” the new drawings go appearing with a new number.

I know that in toon boom you can animate frame by frame, but, every traditional animator knows that you first draw the keys, and then the in between (and i see in toon boom you have tools for this too). Hi, i was watching some videos and works of toon boom in internet, and i have some questions about frame by frame animation.
