I wrote a article on storyboarding our short film 'Happy Box'. It's pretty specific to the project but it might give you some helpful insight to the process. You can read the article here: Studio Sessions 3: Storyboarding 'Happy Box' You can also see the final short film by clicking the link below. ...

The 'Onion Skin' marker is probably the closest existing feature to my original request, but of course without the actual onion skin effect enabled. If the 'note' popped up when you hovered over the marker, so you don't disable the marker or actually go the marked frame, that would probably do the t...

That's a clever workaround! Thanks for sharing the tip

That's a good idea about the Onion Skin markers. Thanks for the tip. BTW, while I do maintain an X-sheet or Dope-sheet for each shot, I'd still like to have this feature, specifically because ASP doesn't allow you edit keys on multiple layers at once--that disconnect really puts a hit on workflow ef...

Drag Zoom in the animation window is nice. Could we get that for the Timeline too?

Thanks for listening.

I'm finding Screen Marker to be useful for visually marking reference points on the screen. In the past, I mainly used this tool for marking key positions, paths, arcs etc., in 3D animation and visual FX, and now I'm finding it handy in ASP too. Think of it as an alternative to using a grease pencil...

In Sony Vegas Pro, you can put marks on the timeline and label them. This is handy for attaching a brief note about what's occurring or needs to occur at that particular point in time. Would it be possible to see a similar feature added to ASP in a future release? Since we can't edit keys in multipl...

Thanks! I hope to have this project finished and posted on Thanksgiving.

And thank you for posting your tutorials and tips in these forums and elsewhere...the info has been very helpful.

Oh, this wasn't for tapering a line, rather it was literally for growing and contracting an 'underarm' line that crosses over the character's chest as the character tumbled over an object. This method was much easier in this situation because it didn't require creating additional points or lines tha...

Oh, wait...for setting a new origin anywhere along the path, I'm finding that the solution is much easier than described above. All you need to do is delete the edge next to whichever point you want to become the new origin for the Stroke Exposure tool. THEN you draw from the open point next to your...

Ah! I figured out how to do this. First I deleted an edge to one side of the origin and then I re-connected the two open points by drawing a new edge, only I need to be sure to close the shape at the point where I want the new origin to be (in other words, start the line at the original origin and f...

It would be cool if I could enter a negative value in the start or end field--that would certainly solve my current problem. Actually, I've wished I was able to enter negative values in a few other areas of ASP since I started using it. Hope we can have this in a future release.

I have a character whose arm needs to have the exposed 'underarm' line animated in one scene but, unfortunately, I need the Stroke Exposure to begin from a different point than where it is currently occurring. Is it possible to change the Stroke Exposure 'origin' point after a shape has been drawn o...

Oh, yeah, I guess that is better since it means I can continue working while the scene renders in the BG. Thanks again for the tip! That fits into my workflow nicely.

Thanks Selgin. I haven't tried the batch render command yet but it sounds like it should do the trick.
