Flix 5 to TVPaint Animation

You can open panels in TVPaint Animation for editing using the TVPaint plug-in on the Workspace toolbar in the Edit workspace.

To open panels using the TVPaint plug-in:

1.

Select one or several panels in your sequence.

2.

Click on the TVPaint button on the Workspace toolbar, in the Edit workspace.

The panel opens in TVPaint Animation.

Note:  The Editing Plug-in Group button is dynamic. If the button isn't set to the correct plug-in option, it might appear on the Workspace toolbar, in the Edit workspace, as Photoshop . To change it, click and hold the button until the list of plug-ins appears in a dropdown menu and select the TVPaint plug-in.

Note:  If the panel comes from a TVPaint Animation project, the original project opens in TVPaint Animation. If the original panel is a .psd file, Flix 5 loads the .psd file.
