*Thanks for watching.*
What’s your favourite new feature?
Have I missed out your favourite feature that you'd like other users to know about? Drop me a message below...
Just missed the startup window changes to show scenes thumbnails... but no biggie, it's self-explanatory and no way for the user to miss it anyway :)
@@justburner Oh yes! I forgot about that one. Thanks for mentioning that.
What about the pre-production board? You have a tutorial about that.
@@HyperVS i have yes. That's a cool new feature.
OpenToonz is so underrated
It's crazy too that it's free!
If you like setting up and control massive pipeline workflows - OT is really build for that 😊👍
It is our secret weapon )
I hope that between us all, we can get the word out there and bring more people into the community. Let animators know that OpenToonz is the software to beat!
i only remember how buggy it was in 1.4
let's just appreciate how much effort this man put into the transitions
Thank you 😍
I did have fun with them.
I'm only one minute in and the see through mode has sold me on this update more than I've ever been sold on any art application lmao
It's really, really useful!
Darren this video is E X C E L L E NT... and more. I really like the transitions between features too. Very entertaining.
Thanks Rodney.
I had fun with the transitions 😄
I was just coloring something earlier and decided to only update after I was done with that but turns out the pick and fill could've saved me so much time 😅 so many quality of life improvements
It's a really useful feature. I'm sure you'll find projects to use this with in the future 😃
Wooow! THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION, I want to learn more about OPENTOONZ!
You're in the right place 😀
Good job! Thanks for covering this, opentoonz is so underrated and there aren't that many covering this
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
No, there aren't many channels covering OpenToonz. But with OpenToonz getting better each release, hopefully we'll see more users using it and more animations made with it 😃
This was so awesome! Thank you so much for explaining these new features and explaining how to upgrade! (I did it once before but I don’t quite remember everything that I did, (I use a MacBook btw) and I usually don’t upgrade unless it’s absolutely necessary, and it absolutely is in this case!!! I don’t know if video file export options are available in the Mac version, but I have Blender and other software to help convert png images into video files, so it’s no biggie! However, the OCA format option made me pause and do a double take! Because an animation app I use, Callipeg, can export projects as OCA files and they allow me to import 2D animations, layers and all, (with some minor exceptions) into a 3D Blender project! And now that OpenToonz can do the same thing…combined with Blender’s own 2D/3D/multimedia animation, modeling, and art capabilities, I’m ABSOLUTELY GOING TO BE UPGRADING OPENTOONZ, BLENDER (If need be) and any other creative app and software because HOOOOOO BOY!!! AM I HYPED UP ON INSPIRATION! THE NANOSECOND I’M FREE TODAY I’M GRABBING MY MACBOOK AND UPGRADING AND GOING TO TOWN ON ALL MY SOFTWARE AND MAKE THE MOST BAT-POOP INSANE STUFF THAT I CAN COME UP WITH!!!
Again, thank you so much!!! I’m sorry for the excited rant, but I’m ready to make some crazy animations! And also, I’ll be sharing this video with my animator friends so they are up to date on the newest OpenToonz version if they’re interested in trying it out!
I love your hyped message. I'm glad this video helped you to hear about OCA in OpenToonz. I know that for some users it's a real game changer that will help working with different software together.
@@DarrenTAnims it really is!!!
Every artist has that one, two, or a handful of discoveries that give them the power to finally explore their creativity, whether it’s a tool, software, or a tool in a software! In my case, the OCA file format is that for me!!! (The most recent anyway!) and I’m so hyped!!!!
@@drewo.127 That's great to hear
Thanks bro :) I love your videos about this program because you don't go 300 laps to tell something; it is appreciated
Thank you. I appreciate that.
It is a constant battle to try to keep things moving at a place that stops viewers getting bored, but gives me enough time to get all of the information out.
@@DarrenTAnims I understand! your content is great keep it up
Thank you so much for the tutorial i really need it♥♥
Glad it helped 😀
Thanks Darren T for your video opentoonz 1.7
Cheers 😀👍
Thank you sir 🙏 , this is really helpful ❤
Superb. I'm pleased it is
It gets better and better 💗 OT
It sure does! 😀
Yo autopick color fill is all we need, i hope t2d have that too. Also camera pan export is very usefull for Japanese method
That's such a useful, but tiny feature. In a real production it will save soooooo much time!
I don't think I'll personally need the camera pan snapshot, but I know lots of users will, which is why I shared it in this vid.
This is a very useful animation software, and I hope it can get better and better. Thank you for your efforts
I appreciate that 🙂
I use opentoonz to make anime, and I never can think of moving to another software. Thanks for sharing this helpful video with us ♥️
It's my pleasure. I'm so pleased you're having fun with OpenToonz 😀
Thank you so much.
Thanks for your support
thank you for your valuable informative program.....🙏🙏🙏
I'm glad it helped 😀
Hi Darren, I'm a newbie to OpenToonz and am looking forward to watching all your videos. The first thing that I noticed is that the large title of your video is blocking the view of items that you are pointing out on the upper menu?
Thank you so much
Amazing video for an amazing software.
I really hope that opentoonz will be used as an industry standard software in 2d animation field.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you 😀👍
It's a great software. I think the word is slowly starting to spread. Let's keep it going...
Thank you so much sir....
It was my pleasure to make.
i was waiting for you. To make video about it
It's taken me a while to get to it. I've been ever so busy.
And I wanted to take my time to figure out how to present this new version.
And then I decided, like a mad fool, to create 10 mini tutorials, for the 10 features AND 10 intro videos. So it ended up taking long to prepare for, record AND edit than any other video I've made!
But it was worth it, I think 🙂
Nice!!!
Cheers Zarco 😀
4:39 Brush tool draw line with Shift key - was in OT 1.6
It was only for Vector. OT 1.7 now allows it on Raster and Toonz Raster.
@@justburner Ahh Ok. I never use raster
Thanks Justburner. Exactly. I didn't detail that in the video, but the links in the desription show the dates each item was added.
Thanks Darren, you are always my go to guy for OpenToonz. One thing I am having problem with is consistent crashing after upgrading to 1.7. Do u have any solution for that?
That's unfortunate to hear.
I saw there was a problem with a driver dll. I hope that gets fixed soon. I think the solution was to delete a dll, but I can't remember which it was atm.
I like new versions better than old. Can't wait for a new version of tahoma2d. Have you used some other softwares like Flash, Toon Boom harmony, and Moho.
I know the main developer of Tahoma2D is really busy with his other job, but has some great plans for Tahoma in the near future.
Yeah, I've used Flash in the past. I still intend to make a video showing similarities between OT & Flash, to help Flash users come over to using OT. One day I'll make that.
@@DarrenTAnims the drawing tools in flash are vectors. It won't do rasters, but it does allow to import images. One thing about OT is it won't convert from motion tween to frame by frame as well as flash.
is there the basics mood like the one in version 1.3 couldn't find that it used to be there next to the drawings on the top right hand of the screen
No. That was renamed and changed slightly in a previous version.
The rooms (Basics, Drawing, etc) are just a collection of windows. You can change ANY room adding or removing windows, or add your own rooms, so you can make a room look like the old Basics room if you want to, to match any older tutorials, but you aren't missing any features.
When you upgrade and you go to the "opentoonz stuff" folder. Do you only need to copy the sandbox and projects folder, or everything?
You only need the sandbox and projects. You will lose any keyboard command and layout overrides though.
@@DarrenTAnims Thank you! I'm really paranoid of changing files somewhere and then them somehow ending up corrupted or smth, but it really did work.
I appreciate your videos and everytime I learn something new from this software. Awesome work from your side! 💯
Adding a smart bone feature would be great thing just like blender 2d.we expect that feature in the next version.
What does the smart bone feature do?
@@DarrenTAnims below is the link for smart bone feature which moho tool has
ruclips.net/video/HVIBoRhrqvQ/видео.html
some of these were already in Tahoma so now im confused. I dont know anymore which program has more stuff or which to use
Some of these are in Tahoma. In fact, some were shared directly from Tahoma.
My advice is, if Tahoma is working for you, stick with it. No need to change unless there's a specific feature that you need.
Sir i have a problem, when i downloaded this new version why i get the msg that it is not safe for my computer , what should i do now?
Watch the video at 22:22 to see what to do
Thank you for this. How does this compare with Tahoma?
They're both pretty similar. I love the extra stop motion features and the perspective grids in Tahoma. And I like that Tahoma isn't installed. You just download, unzip and move the zip folder somewhere useful.
And because of this, you can use both programs intermittently.
So nice..... I could not see download OpenToonz 1.7 for Linux. Will appreciate for any direct link for ready binary preferably deb files or appimage.
There isn't a Linux download.
There never has been, not direct from the official site.
If I hear of someone that has one built, I'll let you know.
Thank you sir, but I was able to drag my mp3 audios in the program before 1.6 but I couldn't drag it in 1.7, what should I do?
Have you re-setup ffmpeg?
Check that it is setup in the Preferences.
@@DarrenTAnims I did but when I drag it, it still doesn't show that +copy thing
If it doesn't show the import dialog, then OpenToonz doesn't recognise the file type.
Check that you have 3 executables in the ffmpeg folder that you're referencing.
If so then you need a different version of ffmpeg.
@@DarrenTAnims I realized I downloaded the linux ffmpeg instead of the windows one. Thank you so much though!
I faced a problem
When i made a animation with sound and saved it but when i reopen it in opentoonz the the sound is gone
That's strange. Do you mean that column is no longer shown in the timeline or that it's shown in read and doesn't play or something else?
When you add sound or any external asset (sound, image or video) then do choose Import when asked. This copies the audio file to your project.
After adding the sound, if you chose Load instead of Import, then deleted or moved the original sound, then it won't work.
I followed all the steps of this video and installed the new version with no problem. However now it doesnt open. Should I have deleted all the 1.6 folders other than the old opentoonz stuff folder and the documents folder or something like that? Or is there any chance that if you move too many folders out of place then the program has problems? because I think I moved the profiles folder somewhere else too
If you moved any of the settings files, then yes, that could cause an issue.
Before upgrading, I always recommend renaming the stuff folder, which contains your settings. And I keep my projects in my documents folder, so that they're stored outside of that folder. So it might be best to try again - rename the stuff folder, then install 1.7.1, preferably the nightly build.
@@DarrenTAnims Okay thanks that seems to be the problem
Are there keyboard shortcuts for all of the features?
No. But you can assign shortcuts to any features you like.
You know mate, I just might've been wrong about my statement about Opentoonz. I feel I will likely return to it now.
I SURRENDER! 🏳
🥳 Woohoo!
Welcome back. It might have it foibles, but it is a great piece of software.
@@DarrenTAnims Also mate, your voice is broadcaster material. Just saying. ❤🙌
@@Ranakade 😍
❤❤❤❤❤
Cheers
I've downloaded the latest version but it doesn't have many options. Why?
I'm guessing you'd installed OpenToonz before.
If you rename your C:\ OpenToonz stuff folder and then install it, that should give you the new commands.
The list of menu entries is stored in files in the stuff folder, so if you don't rename it first, you'll still have the old commands only.
Hey darren,will you also do tutorial on opentoonz 1.7
It's basically the same as OpenToonz 1.6, so my 1.6 tutorial covers we writing you need to know to get started.
Greetings from the Dominican Republic I always watch your videos, one question, why can't I interpose the layers on the timeline? it always happens to me, cheers😢😢
Hi.
It's great to hear from the Dominican Republic.
What do you mean by interpose?
@@DarrenTAnimssaludos hermano to put one layer on top of the other, that is, the thorax on top of the pervis, the neck on top of the thorax, the head on top of the neck, etc.
@@rela139 you can move layers by clicking on me dragging the darker bar in the column heading (the area where the column name is)
The big problem with nightly builds is that they aren't release-approved and sometimes aren't even runnable. You can in rare instances lose whole projects doing things like that.
What do you mean by release-approved?
It's very rare they're not runnable, but if they are, then soon after you can download a version that is. And I always recommend not upgrading ANY software while in the middle of a project. That's asking for trouble.
@@DarrenTAnims I mean "nightly" is software development code for "how our project currently is this very second", rather than "a feature-complete version of our project for end consumers". It's perfectly possible to break something down completely, and still have it qualify as a nightly build because it compiled.
That's why, on rare occasions, something might break with file system access or something like that, and you could end up with a damaged project (as an example).
Sometimes it's OK to use nightly, but respectfully you really shouldn't depend on it. It hasn't been through QA yet!
@@micmacha There is no QA with OpenToonz. The nightly is exactly what will be the next version. But yes, you're right, you should be careful, which is why it's best to wait between projects. I've never known OpenToonz cause an issue with a project, to lose anything though. But if course, that is potentially possible. Backup, backup, backup!
Just for fun - one of the commercials had a character turn around suddenly, revealing a bald young man with a goatee. Because of your costume changes, I thought it was you!
Bald with a goatee!... Me?
😲
@@DarrenTAnims CGI can do wonders these days!
It can indeed. Maybe I should grow a goatee...
With every new release of OT, I invariably price check the 4k pen tablets on XP-Pen & Huion. 💸
I keep checking from time to time, but then I realise my HD tablet is still really good. I'll treat myself one day.
Is there any sudden crashing issue ? In 1.7
There has been an issue with some users Logitech drivers. Deleting lvcod64.dll helped.
Anyone else have issues with Window See Thru mode not working? I don't have it as an option in the windows menu. I have Opentoonz 1.7.1.
This usually happens when install over a previous version. You can either reset your rooms, from the command in the Windows menu or rename your OpenToonz Stuff folder and reinstall.
@@DarrenTAnims Thank you so much. Resetting the room worked.
i got on the new version no mp4 or gif what i choose then
Have you tried setting up FFMPEG and can't find it or have you not set it up yet?
@@DarrenTAnims i got ffmpeg but the 2023 version is other to the 2021 version
Sir how to copy and paste a drawing of one scene to another scene
All of your drawings are saved in their own files. You can load any drawing level from another project into other projects either by using the load level option from the levels menu or right click on a cell in the timeline and choose Load Level.
Do remembering that of you choose Load and not import, any edits to the drawings appear on both scenes. IT IS the SAME level!
where is the auto inbeetwen, please answer me
Here's a useful video that will help: ruclips.net/video/22_Ss48xRbY/видео.html
We need more opentoonz tutorials pleeeeease
Do you have any areas of interest in mind for tutorials?
@@DarrenTAnims Unfortunately not, to be honest Im new here and watched most of one of Your playlist with opentoonz tutorials, all the tutorials were great and I just wanted that tutorial series to continue. Think the playlist have been edited recently , and I still have a lot to watch here from You. so , soryy but not sure, anyway thank you You doing a great job, and obvoiusly thats " A DARREN T"
@@riczort not a problem. I thought I'd ask in case there was something specific.
Don't forget to watch the free lessons on my course too (link in the description)
i just installed the latest version and i dont see See Through Mode in the Windows menu
Did you perform a full clean install?
@@DarrenTAnims lol i see it now. i swear it wasnt there last time i checked...
@@danielnangelone It was hiding 😀
Glad it's back.
@@DarrenTAnims Thanks! I've learned a lot about OpenToonz from your videos over the past few years, thanks for all the work you put in
is this options are available in tahoma 2d? bcuz i'm using tahoma 2d so should i shift to opentoonz?
Some of these new features were actually taken from Tahoma (with permission). I wouldn't shift unless there's a specific feature in OpenToonz that you're after. They're almost the same program anyway.
@@DarrenTAnims then which one do u prefer to use? and comfortable to use?
@@lixxer10135 I use both (I know that doesn't help you, but it's true).
To expand a little: I mostly use OpenToonz as that's what my channel is all about, but I use Tahoma for 2 main features: The perspective tools and layout grids, which are amazing! And the stop motion.
In fact, the number 8 animation in this video was made using Tahoma's stop motion features. I will be making a video about those in the future.
But overall, I'm comfortable using both.
@@DarrenTAnims ♥♥♥ thanks for making this type of contents.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Back atcha Felix ❤️
ty for your channel for a long time i was learned about opentoonz but my opentoonz always crash anytime when i in drawing, so i have to say good bye for the aplication
If you'd like to join my Discord server, someone there could possibly help find a solution.
@@DarrenTAnims well ty thr information, i will
Coloring in other layer ?
You can't colour with the bucket fill tool in a different column to the lines.
You can in Tahoma2D though.
May you make video for each desk
What do you mean by desk?
I mean on xsheet,fx
And i have a problem
@@shamsrza141If you're asking about making a video about each panel/window on screen, I've done this in my complete OpenToonz course (linked in the description), so won't be doing so on RUclips. But if you watch a few of my videos, you'll see that I explain how to work with each part of the program.
@@shamsrza141 "i have a problem"
You'll have to share more details. But it might be worth joining my Discord server to get a quicker answer from me or others in the community.
This 1.7 version crashes on load!! :((
This happens for a lot of people with a webcam. Check out this post: github.com/opentoonz/opentoonz/issues/4971
Opentoonz almost resembles Adobe Animate on my opinion
Yes, it's similar in lots of ways
@@DarrenTAnims at least it looks easier. Almost
Im seriously dissapointed, how is a vertical and rotations buttons a new feature? that should be in the program since a lot, i used to animate in opentoonz 1.4 and it was a mess , why it takes like 4 years to give basic features, i just hope it far low at bug crashing
At least they're here now. Let's look at the positives. And having a button isn't essential, but it's certainly nice to have.
My open toonz say v2 5.1
The latest release is version 1.7.1.
@@DarrenTAnims so that's the new release and I have the old one? 🤔 I don't understand the numbers
2.5.1 isn't a release number.
I assume you may have an old one.
It's always worth updating from time to time, when you're inbetween projects. Also, when you do update, choose the nightly build. It has more big fixes and features in it.
@@DarrenTAnims understood.
