I have been woking with ASP for a few months now. In fact it's been my main animation software. Without knowing much about it I put it to work on a major project and so far I'm loving it. But as I get further into the swing of it, I do find I'm missing some 'everyday' actions. One is I really miss t...

Woah, thank you for the answer, incredibly useful!

When I create a Switch Layer - say one that contains different positions of the character's hand - how can I add new drawings while still seeing the previous ones? I mean like an onionskin effect, so I can add the new layer in the Switch Folder and draw using the lower (or upper) one as a reference....

Thank you Victor! I'll download and study them, but at a glance they seem to be the answer. Great!

Is there a simple and quick way to alter the luminosity of a layer? Better yet if over time, animated. I want to bring the luminosity of a background down. So far the only way I've found is to add a solid black vector layer over it and give it a lesser degree of opacity, but I feel I'm missing somet...

I don't know if there's a way to do this so I'll try bidding it as a feature request... in Sequencer View it would be useful to drag more than one layer at a time. I know this can be achieved by grouping them into a folder and dragging that, but it also creates another level to think about. It would...

I see, ok, that sure makes things much easier. Thanks!

Hi. I see I can exclude layers from camera movement. That's useful, but let's say I want to do the opposite, that is assign the camera movement to only layer only (so I don't have to go and unassign tens of other layers). Is there a way?

I understand that "Set Layer Start Time" will make a layer re-start from frame 0, on any given frame. But what I would need now is for the layer to start from where I am using the last pose, not the beginning. Say my character has reached a certain pose on frame 1000. I want to create a ne...

Thank you, I've not been able to check this out yet but it sounds interesting! When the same problem comes up again, I'll try it.

Is there a way to attach a bone to a path or does that only work with layers? Because it would be handy in a case like this. While the bird circulates in the air I was having his flight become smaller and smaller simply by reducing the size of the oval path over time. Now that I've solved the string...

Try binding the points of the end of the rope in the bird's beak to the bird and just leave the other end of the rope bound to nothing. You would have to use a control bone to move the bird around instead of moving the bird's layer. Ok, that was very good advice! :) I had gotten as far figuring out...

Hi, how would I accomplish the following task: imagine I have a bird flying in a circle and holding a piece of string in its beak. I want one end of the string to rotate with the bird, of course. But I want the other end to stay fixed, as if it were nailed to the ground. The string is a simple strok...

[quote="synthsin75"]Changing the layer's origin will change any animated keys if layer scale or rotation have been changed. /quote] Hi, thank you. Yes, I understand that changing the Origin will change keys. But here I'm not touching the origin. What baffles me is that the Layer moves when...

On the side, one strange thing I notice in using paths is that attaching a layer to a path will work only a couple of times. Meaning that undoing will not let you redo forever. Say, you attach to the path and you don't like the way it worked. So you do Undo and try again. Still not right, so you Und...
