How to Use OPENTOONZ 1.7.1 - 2024 Start Guide ft. XPPen Artist 22 Plus

[@LlamasAreFluffy]

This takes me back to when I first got opentoonz and just binged your tutorials. You're so much better at explaining now 😁👍

[@NobleFrugal]

Thank you and thanks for watching all these years. Happy animating!

[@Solthea.]

my dumbass lost 3 hours of progress last week cause i didnt know that there was a auto save. Thank you so much

[@LFDLittlefluffydino]

That happened to me once. I had gotten done with the line art and started coloring my animation then I lost all of my work

[@tresure4life]

[@Manganization]

This is very comprehensive and concise. Explains all of the important stuff to get started nicely. I haven't touched the node section at all since I find it intimidating, but your video makes me want to reconsider. I also liked that you included the "mistakes" and how to solve them as well. I'd like to add a few more tips for those interested. At 08:06 if you want to keep an open outline instead of closing the lineart, you can select the colour you want to fill your drawing with to close the outline instead. That way, when you fill in the drawing using the paint bucket, the outline still looks open. At 13:53 if you want to loop a section of your layers multiple times without having to manually do it yourself: on the timeline's taskbar, on the right of "1's 2's 3's", there are four arrow icons. The first one brings up a sub-menu that allows you to select how many times you want to loop a selected section of your timeline. It'd automatically copy and paste your selection based on the number of loops you requested. From left to right, those icons means: "loop", "reverse", "swing", "random" Loop is self-explanatory. Reverse pastes a copy of your selection in reverse. Swing both loops and reverses your selection. Think of it like a pendulum, as the icon implies. Random, randomises the timing of your selections. I believe it also randomises the order of your keyframes but I'm too lazy to confirm.

[@LeeNart1]

That's what I was looking for... I'm trying Krita animation but the way union skin works on opentoonz is better for my understanding.

[@felixwingfield3110]

Awesome. About time someone did an updated start guide.

[@theblackhairedshanks]

Probably the best start guide for a software I've ever seen, great job. I didn't realise how versatile OpenToonz is, especially for a free open-source software.

[@JulesJuno737]

No way, now the nodes are starting to make sense too! Thank you! Subscribed.

[@elementallobsterx]

I can’t stop watching your tutorials bro. I’m pretty great at using OT already, but the relaxing, intelligent energy of your masterful lessons just keeps me coming back each and every time I’m animating❤

[@timothykruse3362]

I just downloaded this program...Please more of these vids!!! AWESOME insight!!! thanks.

[@grumpysmurf100]

Best intro tutorial I have ever seen. Just the basics to get you started

[@bisaledits]

man it was so much helpful and easy to understand, finally I found a good tutorial channel for OpenTonnz

[@ndolo_y2k]

Just stumbled upon this and I'm so glued to this channel. Love this so much. Not that it matters but the fact that this is open source software and your of African descent means a lot to me.

[@freizeitchaot]

Thanks for the introduction! I'm currently looking for a software to draw simple animations for a different channel and came across this one. Your video gives me a good impression of its basic capabilities.

[@IndigoVoltage]

Man this video will help me a lot in using Opentoonz correctly Also SECOND

[@ray-cedavis2961]

U have put out a lot of content over the years that have been really beneficial to many people. This video is truly outstanding & extremely helpful to someone like myself who at times, may feel a little overwhelmed trying to gain competency or a sense of understanding in order to establish a productive workflow to build from w/ a program like OpenToonz. I am grateful to U for this video & I thank U for all of the valuable content that U have put out on this channel.

[@GamerPrincessXI]

Thanks so much for this, Sebastian! I really appreciate it. I'm also animating a story as as well for youtube and utilizing OpenToonz. I would always go back and watch all of your tutorials a bunch of times. Glad to see that you've gotten more confident in your skill as an animator. I wish I could have a slower, more instrustinal way to make backgrounds, midgrounds, and foregrounds. Also more character art as well. Sorry for rambling. I'm making my own animated adult series and I'm doing this by myself. It's a lot of work. especially since I've written and rewritten the script several times over the years. :(

[@mspuff2828]

I have been stuck on understanding the program since i am a traditional artist mostly.This may be the best tutorial video i have seen thank you

[@greengozborn]

Amazing guide. Looking forward to exploring the horizons with this. Subbed and thank you.

[@Santhosh-vx6jo]

Great video really helped me lot...can you share how to animate a charecter or a full sequence like 1)story boarding 2)making it smooth + clean up 3)colouring it would be reallly helpfull for us to understand the program🩹

[@NullDott]

This is awesome!! I wonder if you will be doing any new Tahoma2d starting guide one of these days

[@mrpopmus941]

love your video , pls continue the series explaining all the features

[@Im_Ninooo]

WOW, this is SO much more advanced than I thought

[@slamotte]

I've really been interesting in fx with this software. this simple tutorial was so helpful. thank you 😊

[@Kazari_00]

can you make a detailed tutorial for FX nodes in Opentoonz🙏

[@sae5220]

Thanks for this! Your videos are so easy to follow and you covered a lot of the basics already with this one. Excited to animate with OpenToonz now.

[@michigs1]

Oh my god thank you so much I looked for such an tutorial ❤

[@Chippianimation]

I lost the original size setting frame, I can't change it from 1080 to 1920. please help me

[@JeffLafferty]

Thanks for making the video. I'm trying to learn opentoonz and this was very helpful!

[@kyeremehgeorge2281]

Thanks a lot... was confused in the first stage and now sorted out..

[@djdenson9614]

Fantastic tutorial, thank you!

[@LuisyArts]

Oh my God, this was so helpful! Thank you so much. I'm planning on starting a small story animation channel (even though I have NO experience in animation at all lol), and your explanations helped me so much. Thanks bro!

[@ragabmorsy7506]

Awesome. Beautiful explanation

Thanks for this video tutorial how does opentoonz compare to greasepencil 2. ?

[@RashDoodles]

Hey, I’ve seen a perspective tool in older videos but can’t seem to find it now? Was it moved or removed

[@reck-b6x]

great tutorial but whats the thing in your left hand? looks useful,

[@ammairakhan7424]

thank you soo much im beginner im learning animation from your video's but im stuck at certain level i created a animation it took me 10 column's i downloaded ffmpg after rendering, out of 10 column only a single column is visible in MP4 video rest of the columns i drew are disappeared from the mp4 i did every basic thing to solve. like unhiding the columns and eye button out put settings are perfect ... nothing worked can you please tell me how i can solve this issue what would have happed ?

[@SRC-ge6bv]

Thank you sir for all lessons ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@antoonsorg]

Can you show how to use the pencil i cannot rotate, zoomin or move the canvas with my pencil. ?

[@Nodition1]

I have a question. How do I make a new column in the drawing section on top???

[@wosartstudios9907]

How to connect the lines from different levels like clip studio paint for easy filling with color

[@Kridian01]

Sebastien can you tell the difference going to the new 16,384 levels of pressure in this Artist 22 Plus vs the old 8,192? And how's the parallax on this one? Thanks for this vid.

[@Kridian01]

Ah, nvm. _The screen and display panel are seamlessly laminated to avoid parallax errors between the stylus nib and_ _cursor, precisely positioning every single one of your strokes. The anti-glare matte film effectively reduces the_ _screen glare and eye strain for more focused creation._

[@harryvanlamoen8195]

Thank you so much, do you have a extensive course on Opentoonz latest version 1.7 ?

[@joshuabrathwaite3590]

Thanks alot

[@juliantourn]

Can I bucket paint in colum 2 a drawing from colum 1? Is there a kind of clipping mask?

[@Ganga-vo7kb]

[@bastianmalikbuttner8475]

how can i do color correction for my animation that i imported

[@felixwingfield3110]

Good job! :)

[@knightslave5101]

don’t know if it’s my pc but when I open opentoonez it will be black and white and I won’t be able to see my frames cause it will be all black.

[@indiannapo3485]

Thank you so much for sharing! this video is really awesome but once we I saving the file it is 332 MB any idea to make it minimal , thanks.

[@RTMEzz]

How to know how much cecnd I finsh

[@AnglesSol]

I’ve been debating if I should switch from blender to opentoonz. Both have similar tools so I’m a bit indecisive.

[@NobleFrugal]

From my viewpoint, I see that a skillset using Blender may have more longevity. Opentoonz is my favorite 2D animation software. But Blender changes the very fabric in which 2d animation is sewn. Now it's just "Animation". Whether 2D or 3D is up to you. I continue to use both all all of my devices because their free! Happy animating.

[@AnglesSol]

@@NobleFrugal that’s a good way to put it, thanks!!

[@themanwholaughs4431]

Does anyone know why mi canvas looks pixelated? AND how can I fix that?

[@adarshma345]

Hi, Why opacity is not working... Can you help me

[@DUAJISIN]

Hi, is it possible to duplicate an existing animation Column timings, without the actual drawings on it?

[@Novelstoriesinmanipuri]

What is that small box that you use in your animation

[@00WatName00]

what’s that tour box? I don’t see it in your amazon. Pretty cool guide tho 👍 thanks

[@kialmiart5928]

What about the xp pen 15.6 pro, can it do good ?

[@tessbak]

could anyone please tell me where to find the pencil tool? im trying draw pixelised, and i heard pencil tool does exactly that, but it seems impossible to find on this version !

[@SkyrishCrusader-j9x]

Does xppen support their products for a long time? I bought a 1500$ Wacom tablet back in 2019 or so and Wacom kind of dropped support for it

[@Fibinochi]

Hopefully this doesn't destroy my projects anymore.

[@felixwingfield3110]

It's gotten a lot more stable, but if you really want to avoid problems don't use the vector layers. Heck I haven't used them in so long they may have improved while I wasn't looking.

[@OsaoasoGdhshd]

Question: Can you tell me which is better? open toons morva of open toons

[@Zarpas]

Wow this software has a lot of potential, looks to be designed towards teams, I tried it and I saw it has tweens, like flash, can you make a tutorial about that? I want to know if it is possible to ease the tweens, pleaseeeee

[@Noreloko]

for some reason my opentoonz constantly crashing everytime i try to render, whats going on?

[@iqbalmaullana2275]

I installed OT 1.7.1 on Windows 11 but it keeps crashing when opened, is there a solution, please help, thank you

[@SogyBoi]

the link isn't in the description tho ...

[@Mnu.youtube]

does CSP have that feature where it automatically adds a new frame when you draw? cuz omg the amount of times i've drawn a billion drawings on the same frame is unfathomable😭

[@brenoerre]

yo is this pen display good for lineart (professional use case)? i'm also a frame by frame animator and i'm considering buying this to boost my efficiency, but i head bad things about the screen resolution being low for the size so you waste time zooming in and out to fix lines

[@mattyboi0071]

Hello mate, I've just started animation, could you do a text with a character video please?

[@mattyboi0071]

So like the character is saying something while moving. 😊

[@technosauruspunk3375]

Hi NobleFrugal, I'm having a strange issue where if I import an image, I can resize it but it gets cropped to the original border of the image. Not sure if I explained that well, but basically my image is getting cut off. Is there a way around this or am I doing something wrong?
