Thanks for your post and its sad that lost your progress but meh dont worry. When i used the program it seemed pretty decent for me at the time, the only problem was that you couldnt import sounds (or i didnt know idk man) but now that i figured the true face of that program ill be more suspicious of that program and in general all of the animation programs. Im a game developer but i used to mess around with creating animation and i eventually got my hands to pencil2D. I didnt know that the program could do so much damage. Thank you for putting in so much work for a free tool, but please, do the right here and admit it's too unstable. People are losing hundreds of hours of work that could be spent creating awesome stuff. If any of the devs are reading this, please, for the love of all creativity, take down the downloads, ask people to uninstall, don't call it 0.6.4, call it ALPHA-proofOfConcept-ForTESTING_PURPOSES_ONLY. I respect the devs for working on it, I love the raster brush, it feels better than even photoshop, but, this program should NOT be available for the public. I will say, I'm quite sad to have to make this post. Maybe check it out, do a few quick sketches then uninstall. It s not only that this program won't save your frames, but it will actively erase frames on loading project files.ĭO NOT, I repeat DO NOT use this program. Judging by the response of the mods the people working on the code really messed up the memory management. At worst I ll be missing some really awesome strokes I got down.īut I checked their forums and found post after psot of users both o windows and mac with the same issue. Now luckily, they were only quick sketches and I still remember the general idea of most. The frame markers are still on the timeline but they are all blank frames. If put in circa 3 hrs storyboarding a 20 min video.Īll but a few dozen frames all gone. Over the past few months I've spent the last 1-2 hrs before bed working on this passion project. It's not actually a virus and it won't crash your computer, but don't for one second think you can make a project in it. Think of it as a virus, stay away from it. It's free, it's open source and the support team answers the forums regularly, but still, you should NOT install this program as of right now. Please, for the love of all that is beautiful in the world. I myself have been looking into alternatives for ages, and I think I'll settle on ToonBoom. I know Animate sucks in many ways, but it's the devil we know.
