OpenToonz Tutorial Collection, Parts 00 to 08

[@afternoonbears6989]

I followed EVERY step you showed and thanks to you, my chicken is now blinking in a GIF video render!!!! Thank you, Paul!!!

[@leonardmele3142]

PAUL!!!! You have started a new interest in my life. I'm 65 years old and my son gave me a Microsoft Pro 6 as a gift. I only have been using it as a web browser and email reader. I have been looking at KZbin and came across your channel and have subscibed. Now I can put this baby to good use and learn a new challenge, thanks mate for all your good work and looking forward to more tutorials.

[@bang103tunedin3]

Am a beginner to animation and opentoonz. Your 11 part videos on Opentoonz are spectacular. The salient features are covered in the minimum possible time in the minimum possible words. Very slick and a big time saver for learners, without all the time consuming pauses which seem to be part and parcel of similar videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise with the world.

[@paultilleryiv7050]

Thanks so much--this really means a lot to me!

[@devenderamaurya7377]

I don't know why KZbin showing your videos below in the results. I am searching from last weak, and found only bunch of geeks giving tut on open toonz. your video is far far far better.. great work dear

[@baristucco]

just a bloody cutting-edge free tutorial!!! the community would be thankful for this!!!!

[@jameswhitelawanimation]

Thank you Paul, I have been searching for a good Open Toonz tutorial (there areloads on the net, but they are not that great) and LUCKILY I came across yours, love your laid back style and way of getting the info over, so a BIG thank you!!!

[@giuliafreire3217]

watched the entire video and didn't notice it is was so recently uploaded!! I went to your channel looking for more great videos, but I guess they're still to come :) helped me a lot!

[@paultilleryiv7050]

Thanks for your kind words! And yes, more to come--I'm working on parts 9, 10, & 11 right now. Keep an eye out for them soon!

[@TheBereangirl]

I love how you highlight the area that you are talking about, it's VERY helpful, but darn your calm velvety voice! - must...stay...awake...😴💗

[@bobveltman]

That tutorial is just what I needed. I am getting back into opentoonz after having used it for some time, but because it's just so DIFFERENT to every other program it's really refreshing to see a tut that well organised. Hats up Sire, and thank you very much. Please keep it up!

[@amanamortalknight5586]

Hello sir u are straight to the point teacher and i learn fast because of that very thankful to see ur tutorials

[@c_low_da_wrk9121]

Best tutorial I've seen so far on open toonz. You made this less complex than everyone else, all while explaining multiple basics. Subscribing.. I'm an illustrator and want to find a great app for animation (for a beginner). My hat goes off to you.

[@gee_em_tee_es1]

Brother, you have no idea how much this and your other tutorials have helped me out. Thanks!

[@starshmizz]

Omg I finally found an easy animation app! I was using(trying to use) synfig of whatever it was called. God was that hard but this is so simple! The way you teach it is also great! Thanq~

[@dampierre99]

This has been an amazing tutorial, thank you so much!

[@mixchief]

@Paul Tillery IV: You, sir, are a god of explaining things the perfect way. A ton of thanks.

[@Boz1836]

After trying a few other tutorials (and having experienced frustration with other complex programs too) it was a pleasure to come across your very clear and measured approach to what otherwise can be an unforgiving interface. One thing I noticed is that the tutorials tend to want to start off teaching how to draw in Opentoonz (as you do to an extent). I expect many people, like me, already know how to use photoshop/illustrator or equivalents, so I guess a question is why it is advantageous to draw in Opentoonz rather than import levels equivalents into the program?

[@paultilleryiv7050]

Music to my ears! I watched a number of tutorials when I was first learning OpenToonz, and I'm grateful for them. That said, I made mental notes whenever information could be presented differently to better suit my learning style, which was a big motivator for making my own tutorial series. And discussing other software (for both pro/con comparisons, and projects that span multiple programs) would be a great topic for the future--I'll keep that in mind!

[@Ninjachucks]

Thank you for the free class, will definitely check out Thundercluck!

[@mikkohassinen9324]

Wonderfull tutorials. Very helpful and inspiring! Thanks a lot!

[@prodevmahi4901]

NIce one, really helped me thoroughly

[@caseymcsherry4985]

you’re a good teacher 👏 Why did you choose opentoonz? Would you make a video about what you did in other programs to make the complete animation?

[@paultilleryiv7050]

Thanks! Two reasons I chose OpenToonz: 1) Open source = easy, ethical access (no fees, no piracy, etc.) 2) While commercial software has lots of official training already available, OpenToonz's support material seems more limited (e.g. to my knowledge, the manual's only available in Japanese). I have a lot of topics in mind to explore in future videos, some of which would be branching away from OpenToonz--I'll definitely consider showing Adobe Programs as well!

[@david21686]

This tutorial is awesome!!

[@paultilleryiv7050]

Thanks, glad you like it! I've just uploaded another set--hope you enjoy :D More to come in 2019!

[@hezekiahtom5265]

this awesome man

[@samiracohen7144]

Great tutorial! But I have one question and I hope you are still available to answer. After completing a gif with all its frames, is it possible to select multiple frames (or layers) and make an edit that applies to all?

[@nayannewellen5624]

Obrigada!! Thank youu!! From Brazil

[@anderonia1]

Hi, I have a Mac. I went through lessons 00-08. Tried to download the static ffmeg. Couldn't download as dmg as you suggested. Saw this message. "No more DMG files thanks to Apple and their notarizing scam." I want to move onto lesson 09, or should I wait till I get a workaround?

[@paultilleryiv7050]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! Try this: when you get to the ffmpeg download page, look for a "Download as ZIP" link under that long green button. When I click that on my Mac, it gives me the option to "Open with: Archive Utility (default)," and if I choose that, I end up with the desired ffmpeg in my downloads folder. From there, you should be able to manually put it in the Applications folder (or any other location you might prefer). If technical issues persist, let me know and we'll see what we can do. Otherwise, if this options works, great! If you'll confirm, I'll update the video description accordingly.

[@hasankachal11]

Thank you for the video, why I cant find the Outcome settings under the file menu?

[@ryosworkshop500]

DOES anyone have any idea why opentoonz vr 1.3 suddenly decided that increasing the size of eveything on the screen was a good idea? like i try to reconfigure the size of the icons so that at least i can fit more of those in my UI BUT I CANT REACH THE BOTTOM OF THE PREFERENCES WINDOW TO SAVE CUZ ITS TOO DAMN BIG! anyone else?

[@onadism_]

I think I understand what you're talking about because I just had the same issue. I went to the windows display and changed my laptop's resolution to 125 instead of 150. Not a fantastic permanent solution, but it works!

[@lifeitang]

thank u so much from hongkong!!!!

[@paultilleryiv7050]

Glad you like it!

[@Mm-vq9zq]

I would love to know more about the colouring process. Such as, do I still need to colour in each frame by hand or are there some short cuts to save time? If I have a character with a colourful outfit, am I going to have to colouring in each part of that outfit for each frame?

[@paultilleryiv7050]

Thanks for the comment, and for your patience with my reply! I uploaded the latest round on color recently, and it includes some time-saving tools and settings. I hope that's helpful, and let me know if you have further questions!

[@kyoru]

Thank you so much! Very informative and helpful! But I need a little help. I did my chicken but the lines are pixelated eventhough i follow your tutorial, i made it in vector level. I wonder why? edit: i realize i didn't select Brush in the raster tab. now the lines are much smoother. yeayy

[@madfrog17]

Thanks for this!

[@paultilleryiv7050]

Sure thing!

[@maximk7816]

How can I set default size for new scenes? Let's say I want size to be 1080x1080 but whenever I create new scene it goes back to 1920x1080...((

when I try to use the web cam to take pictures I get "captured image size does not match with the existing level" how do I fix that? details please thanks

[@urpc.politics1]

I've just installed the program and stumbled upon this gem of a tutorial while trying to figure out DPI settings. So shall i pick 300 or 120 ?

[@paultilleryiv7050]

There may be factors I'm overlooking here, but my understanding: if you intend to display your work digitally (sharing it online, playing it on an HDTV, or even screening it with a digital projector), then the pixel dimensions (e.g. 1920x1080) are what really matter for image quality, not the DPI setting, which is more relevant for print. Whether the DPI is 120 or 300, an image that's 1920x1080 will have just those pixels to display on a screen--the DPI would only come into play if you printed the image out. In OpenToonz, tend to leave DPI at the default 120, and all that means is a 1920x1080 pixel image would print neatly at 16"x9" (whereas 300 DPI would squeeze the same information into a smaller, crisper print at 6.4"x3.6"). More info here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_per_inch ... and really, that's all a long-winded way of saying, "Don't sweat it for digital video."

I downloaded the opentoonz 1.5 But it seems different from this one, I can’t find the layers

[@nicks7550]

First of all, thank you very much for this masterpiece tutorial! I love it, it is very interesting and exciting :) I have a question, because I have one problem. My picture, which I draw, not saves right. Everything is fine, but some piece of picture(hair) dissapiared, when I am trying to save it as gif. I think, I might click Save Scene instead of Save all in the begginig and that's why it is happening. I tried to click Save All and.. still I don't have all my picture in gif. But in Open Toonz it is look normal! What could be a problem? Thanks.

[@paultilleryiv7050]

Hi--thanks for your comment, and for your patience with my reply! (Took me 8 months, yeesh--it's been a busy year.) If you'd still like to look into this issue, it might be difficult to diagnose remotely, but I'd be glad to look at your files--feel free to send any screenshots, exported GIFs, or the OpenToonz files themselves to [e-mail]

[@alexanimationgoofy]

on Mac if I export as gif the background is grey if I export as mp4 it works, does anyone know how to fixit ?

[@RakeshKumar-zj4hu]

Hi Paul, Can you pls tell me why opentoonz distory an SVG when i import it. Am i doing it the wrong way

[@manifesttation7003]

Sir can we add action videos and add some animation in to them using this software?

[@Rouuuge]

is that christian grey?????

[@frankfilep4368]

It was a very helpfull tutorial video but I've got some issues. After I render an animation into gif, in the gif it kinda shows every frame I've done (for example If I animate a bouncing ball with like four frames and render it, than in the gif there will be one ball, then two balls etc..) I'm not a native speaker so sorry if my english is not perfect, but I hope it was understandable. Can anyone give me an advice what sould I do, what could be the mistake? :)

[@paultilleryiv7050]

Thanks for your comment, and your patience with my reply. (4 months, yeesh--things have been hectic!) If this is still an issue you'd like to resolve, it'd be easiest for me to troubleshoot if I could see the files. If that's something you're interested in, feel free to zip up the project folder you were working in and email it to [e-mail]. Hope I can help!

[@fathan8939]

so we cant save in mp4?

[@paultilleryiv7050]

Good point to clarify! Once you've finished the ffmpeg process (making "gif" available to export), the "Fast Render to MP4" command should start working, too. If you run into any issues, let me know. Best of luck!
