Editing Strokes/Shapes in One View Only

Splitting a view off allows you to edit the stroke/shape data in that view only, without affecting any other views that exist in your project settings.

To Edit Stroke/Shape Points

Any changes you now make to the stroke/shape points are only applied to the view you chose to split off and are displaying in the Viewer.

Views that have not been split off can still be edited together. For example, if you have views called left, middle, and right, and choose to split off the left view, any changes to the middle view are also applied to the right view and vice versa.

The view is unsplit, and all changes you made after splitting it off are lost.

NOTE:  To see splines for paint strokes in the Viewer, you need to activate show paint stroke splines in the RotoPaint tool settings.

TIP:  You can also split shapes off by right-clicking on them in the stroke/shape list and selecting Split off [view], for example Split off left.

2.

In the RotoPaint controls, click the Views menu button next to the control you want to edit and select Split off [view name]. For example, to edit opacity in a view called left, select Split off left from the Views dropdown menu next to opacity.

Any changes you now make to opacity are only applied to the view you chose to split off and are displaying in the Viewer.

Views that have not been split off can still be edited together. For example, if you have views called left, middle, and right, and choose to split off the left view, any changes to the middle view are also applied to the right view and vice versa.

You can also click on the small arrow on the left side of the control to see the values for each view.

3.

To unsplit a view, click the Views menu button and select Unsplit [view]. For example, to unsplit a view called left, you’d select Unsplit left.

The view is unsplit, and all changes you made after splitting it off are lost.
