OpenToonz Lesson 12 - Animated Background & Camera Zoom

[@pixelwrinkly1528]

imagine a world in which every youtube tutorial was this clear and informative heck, we'd all be working at pixar by now :-) well, maybe that's not possible, but even so, great job many thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@ratmilko]

oh my god thank you, I'm been wondering how to zoom for the longest time

[@TJFREE]

You're very welcome!

[@learnfromfiction9657]

Thank you so much for creating all Opentoonz tutorials videos, it’s very helpful, I was stuck of finding ways to make my 2D, now I am able to start my first animation, hopefully it turns out great.

[@lanthuy6085]

You're amazing!! Thanks for all of the very informative videos! You're great at explaining things that are easy to understand and replicate. Thank you!!!

[@chemical_spy]

Thank you for the camera zoom tutorial!!!

[@DeanAlioto]

Great and extremely concise! One question: how do we smooth out the object moving? The image stutters. Is there a motion blur or something to remedy this? Thanks!

[@muhammetislambedirbeyoglu3135]

These tutorials are the best!

It seems that some imported files are not displayed in Opentoonz, even though a new column is created and the center sign kind of revolves around something invisible. The thing seems to be that this depends on the name of the file and this only when we are exporting it from Inkscape (later renaming doesn't seem to matter), but I haven't figured out the logic yet (e.g. a file named "background" works, but "square19.svg" doesn't...). Also the svg file might be invisible, but if so try switching to 3D view and moving the objects closer to the camera.

Thank You so much! I'm trying to make an animated show and this helps!

[@fightclube-sports2773]

Thank you so much! your videos are a blessing!

[@constantanimation]

Why didn't you use the z dept for parallaxing? But great job.

[@johanverm90]

Thanks TJ . I ve made this and did some tweaking with shotcut..Best opentoonz tutorial ....Have a nice day

[@hunterterrell9930]

I appreciate the tutorials

[@TJFREE]

Thank you!

[@THESEOWORLD]

Great video, helped me a lot !! Thanks

[@zenahrb8316]

This was incredibly helpful! Also, show the whole process (especially how you seperated the SVG layers (I didn't know you could do this)) was super helpful. Do you have a patreon or something set up by the way?

[@somebody7254]

TYSM! This is really helpful!

[@ROJAKBRNDD]

Great info thanks,hope you can do tutorial on lipsync.

[@joshuanun8192]

This is so cool! Thanks!

[@captscarlet8793]

Is it possible to use a transparent background? I'm looking for something to do animated RPG battlemap tokens.

[@max-ub4vt]

easier than i thought!

[@deeveig1124]

Nice tutorial, Thanks.

[@emaboxe15]

For me the png images set as single frame but i want that to animate it, like doing a bounce thing, how can i solve that?

[@o4wishes]

Will the Project still have the imported Files if I move the original Files? The next step will be to let Godzilla appear right?

[@hunterterrell9930]

Is there anyway to repeat loop a background, I have a series of buildings I want my charecter to walk past as the camera follows him, and right now I either have to copy paste the image side by side a bunch so I have one really long row of buildings, an image that's like 9000 × 1080p, or I have to make dozens of columns and program each of the columns to move perfectly in sync, but, the image is such that if it were looped, it would be seamlessish and only require one copy, we're there a way to do it

[@khikzzz]

hey nice question. Have you figured out how to achieve that? I have the same question

[@DrunkenUFOPilot]

In case anyone comes upon this years later.... I think the solution would be to design a background where the left side edge matches the right side edge. Make it 2x, 3x, or more wider than the camera field of view width. You just need to put one in the scene, duplicate it. Same image in two columns. Maybe name them "Back1" and "Back2". Have one slide through the scene. When it's about to cease covering the entire view, move the other one in place, keying the position, and slide it along after the first. When that copy of the background is entirely filling the view, the first one can be positioned to be ready to chase the second one. Leapfrogging. Need to key positions for each before it enters the view and when it's completely out, linear interpolation in between. During the time it's out of view, at some frame key its position where it is, out of view having been slid through, and in the very next frame move it to where it's ready to chase its partner, and key that position. I hope that makes sense. Be sure to use linear interpolation, because easing will look bad.

Hey man, firstly great tutorial series. I have a question though. How do you make animation with transparent background so i can use it as a layer in video editor? Can you help?

[@Bryantfstephens]

I’m a beginner too but couldn’t you just make the colors slightly transparent by decreasing the A value in the Level Pallet and then it will layer nicely. That is at least what I think.

[@Georges_Tsukaimah]

Ty :)

[@TJFREE]

You're welcome!

[@triathryn]

super cool

[@Isreal53animations]

What do i have to use to separate the svg file

[@trickyepithet9122]

how can we export these animation as a video file

[@untonyto]

Amazing

[@thorn_applezonal9690]
