I don't why it took me so long realise the importance of the Transform tool. That was the road block that was stopping me!

[davirodricosta]

Can you rotate the camera? And not just on one axix, I mean, what if you want the camera to point to the floor?

[WidowsPeakStudio]

@davirodricosta Hi, sadly I'm mostly positive that Toon Boom studio can not rotate the camera (this might have changed with 5.5 but i don't think so). You can rotate the camera in Animate pro and I think animate.

i dont understand a shit!

[Prominentenkotzer]

@WidowsPeakStudio Your tutorial is cool but i don't understand how you make the "Camera Rectangel" so small. How can i make the rectangel smaller ?

[skarules111]

strawn4u actually helped me out more, I realize that you're new to the whole tutorial thing but how can you miss out a step as important as that? You really can't afford to miss anything, It may seem like nothing to you but to us we need EVERY detail, every click or eventually you'll miss something big.

[gabzillaaah]

Thanks! the video was extremely helpful!

Didn't know where to start before i watched this! ^^

There's only so much you can learn from playing around with the program so

Thanks again! XD

[zambic214]

liked video but try to make them shorter, too long

[JamesPDower]

okay so i click add a peg on the camera and it makes one on a new layer.

moving the peg does nothing to the camera at all, the camera just stays in the centre of the location.

god i hate this program, i can't wait to drop it next year.

[halberdear]

Thanks!

Widows Peak studio:  please i need help, with toon boom studio, because i use flash for make my 2d animationi need to know, how use the camera, pivot ,,,i cant use i dont know...if you have a SKYPE send me your name, please (i need help)

thanks

[vazzduchesne]

The tutorials are great! If you don't know what a peg is you go to wikipedia,like i do.

[C0r0i0s0]

With the toon boom is it possible to make any kind of moviments? Like crane moviments?

[mrkiki911]

@widowspeakstudio

sure thing, i wasnt trying to be rude or anything. You know the program pretty well. A better quality screen cap (with mouse click graphics) and more detailed step by step instructions would be great. I still cant figure out how to change the shape of my camera peg... its just a little circle.

[mrkiki911]

thanks for the attempted "tutorial"

you just click around and press play

"to add a peg, have it highlighted, and add a peg.... the camera is now attached to the peg"

then u just click around and say "oh 50 frames, and then play"

what if ppl dont know what a peg is, how to resize the peg, or how to set 50 frame length?

[WidowsPeakStudio]

@mrkiki911

thank you for the comment. I like to here what needs to be improved in the tutorials since I'm not used to creating them.

Thanks for actually giving an example because this gives me something to work on.

[logoff122]

in toon boom studio 4, can you get opacity?

[andrewdude1]

hha the camera was easy, but how do you make a see through drawing (ie the marble)

[vazzduchesne]

Thanks for your tutorials, very helpful.Please check out my cartoons! Vazz Toons are free and easy!

[Billyrulz1]

is it 2d cartoons

[bohemenmann]

I can not get the transform tool to work at all. It's not able to transform anything at all, not even selecting a drawing?

[bohemenmann]

It's all right now, it was that motherfucking peg on setting that fucked everything into cuntville.

[Konsai]

DUDE, HELP ME.. the Peg doesnt stay attached to the camera.. so the Camera doesnt move!!! everything else, i did... just the camera doesnt move, therefore it doesnt create the animation D:

[Ali17Safdari]

how to get the red box??

[yoryo05]

I want to consider that the right tool to move the camera peg is Motion tool, by means of it we access important properties for design and control of curves such as placing floating control points or control points and control parameters as tension, continuity and bias . Also notes with arrows the beginning and end of the path.

Transform tool is used to create trajectories of the attached elements in front of camera. Excellent your initiative to offer tutorials for this software.

[WidowsPeakStudio]

Basshunterrockz If its the first program like this then There is a steep learning curve. Once you get it though it all makes sense

[Basshunterrockz]

Is it easy to work with that software?

[strawn4u]

here is the step he left out that has been driving me nuts! After you create a peg, attach the camera, click on the transform tool, then go to to the frame you want to start the movement, click on element, peg, add keyframe. then click on your timeline where you want the camera to end up, drag your camera there, and you created movement! hope this helps

[gundontcare]

@strawn4u

This help a lot

[Exelarch]

@strawn4u

THANK YOU!!!!! goddammit i was hoping somepne commented on this!..this jerk just pissed off 24,000 ppl thats wat he did!

[Remitrom13]

how do you get the red box to make the movement of the camera?

[glass0000000]

You should change the view from drawing to camera view!!!

[BearKlaw]

I have version 2.5- does this camera work the same way on 4.5 or are their any big differences ?

[stabbedinthekunt]

Do you have a video explaining motion tween in toon boom. I'm used to flash. Kewl vid!

[thesquidley]

Hi Cecil. Your tutorial is very helpful although I still can't move my camera. I have a simple scene where a chickenmobile drives out of my camera view to the right. I add a camera and attach a peg and I still can't get the camera to move. I just move it from one place to the other but it doesn't get mobile. Any idea what I'm not doing? I'm goin kinda nuts. You're working from the timeline's peg and not the camera, right? Thanks again for your tutorials. Hope to hear from you. matt

[darpachief]

lol, still love you. I have the ultimate test for you.......can you create the MATRIX bullet time scene effect with the camera in Toon Boom....Man i would have your BAby... :)

[sonicsnout]

Thank you! Yeah, this made it way easier after reading the poorly worded and incorrectly linked toon boom help manual. Your tutorials rule!

[inuykh2dna]

Thank you so dame much i barely found the way to use the camer and that just help 10X better thank you ^-^

[WidowsPeakStudio]

So i have received several emails on this tutorial. I am not surprised. So since there is more that can be described in more detail that I was going to go over later (pegs, transform tool, ect.). In the next couple weeks I will hopefully have up on my website a much more in depth tutorial about how all these extra things work.

So if you are confused email me what you find confusing and I will try my best to cover it as best as posible.

thanks,

Cecil

[WidowsPeakStudio]

Hey jaidon13, yes I am using Toon Boom studio 4.5.

What do you not understand? Is it how pegs work? or something else? I will gladly go over with more details on this.

Please tell me what is confusing you and I will see if I can make it easier to understand. In the tutorial i said that this was hard for me as well and frustrating at first. So email me what you would like more details of and I will try to post it for you as soon as possible.

[jaidon13]

i don't understand this...

can you make a new video? are you using toonboom 4.5?

thanks
