I see you too are making shorts. I have not found any changes in my channel’s view count. I hope it works for you cause your information is so well delivered. I appreciate you. 😅

[@StayfDraws]

Thanks. I am just trying out the Shorts to see if it works on KZbin. I am also using them on TikTok, and Instagram.

Nice response, thanks. I've learned a bit more about ToonSquid by doing two videos on my channel, so I now have a better (not perfect) understanding of getting images from Procreate into ToonSquid. But I still have a lot to learn about ToonSquid and 2D animation, and your videos are very helpful. The tip about seconds in the timeline was good, I was looking for that one. Thanks, again.

[@StayfDraws]

You are welcome! Just keep promoting the app, so new features will be added!

[@Mity_Moose]

That was a really good video. Well done. And thanks.

[@StayfDraws]

Glad you enjoyed it!

hopefully ur still answering questions, when i select the key frame i only have scale, rotation, position, and opacity, what am i missing to get the other options?

[@StayfDraws]

When you have drawn something in pixels and select the transform tool, there are more option on top of the screen. It is the square button with a white filled square in it. When you tap on it, you will get more options: Uniform, Freeform, Perspective and Warp. Tap on one of them to manipulate your drawing. When you draw in vectors, you only have the options Uniform and Freeform.

Hi, I made a rigging character where only the mouth part I made the symbol and I exported it into an extension file. And my question is, why can't I open all the rigging characters that I have saved into the extension file in my new project and only the mouth symbol appears?

[@Shadowthevampire]

Is there a way to save an entire charakter to use for later I alredy amfetamin all seperate parts and changed the pilot points but can I save it like this so it's ready to use next time without having to rearrange allxthe pieces everytime it would be tedious to have to play legs everytime I wanna use my charakter for something :/

How Do You Add ToonSquid files onto KZbin

[@StayfDraws]

Export the video as an MP4 and upload it to KZbin via the KZbin app.

[@NathcoolAnimates]

Ok so is it possible to lasso tool something and make it a symbol

[@StayfDraws]

Yes you can. When you have made the selection with the lasso tool, copy your selection by pressing on the 3 dots in the upper right corner and then press on copy. Then go to the library and press on the plus in the upper right corner. Then select Create Animation clip. Then create. Then press on the 3 dots in the upper right corner and press on past. It is a bit cumbersome, but it works! 😄

Do you know how to export an animation with a transparent background? I referenced the handbook and says to use MOV with transparency but it doesn’t work. Alway left with a white background. Thanks!

[@StayfDraws]

No, it does not work properly. I export it as an Image Sequence as PNG instead.

[@Kripeld]

@@StayfDraws okay thanks for the reply back, ive emailed the dev and let him know.

I don’t know if you’ll see this comment, but I have a question for a poster I’m doing. You see, I was given a 18 inches by 24 inches frame, and i really want print my own artwork for it. I use Procreate on my iPad, and I’m not sure what dimensions or dpi (or ppi) I would need for a poster of that size. You have any suggestions?

[@StayfDraws]

Make the canvas 18 inches by 24 inches at 300 dpi.

[@zeldanerd4758]

@@StayfDraws I have tried that, but it would always say it was too large. Is there perhaps some other settings I must adjust?

[@zeldanerd4758]

@@StayfDraws how do you think 18 inches by 24 inches at 125 dpi would print? I experimented by setting the canvas to lower dpi, and when I looked at the image the quality was still as beautiful as it was at the previous dpi. But I am unsure if it will be the same when printed. I know I’m asking a lot of questions, but I really do appreciate the feedback. But May I also ask what image format is best to use for printing? I hear great things about both PNG and JPEG.
