Remove Entire Video Track?

Thanks for posting the screen capture. Very interesting to see how it all came together. Is it easier having the timeline in frames vs time? Looks like 4 frames/sec? Guess it is the same concept of stop motion animation. I did one and repeated the frames instead of capturing it all again.

I can't recall, but I think I did the animation on 3s, but it may have been on 4s. I've even done them on 6s, which, at 24 fps animation, it comes to 4 images per second. It can get choppy, though at that speed. Most animation is done on 2s which equals 12 frames per second. Older animation was done with frames and Toon Boom favors that approach so it's really all I know. I can't say if it's easier or not

You're right, stop motion most often uses a simple repeat of each image to get 12 images per second--or for US video at 30ips, 15 frames per second. The eye follows 12 frames easily, which makes it look quite smooth. I'll admit: there's a lot I don't understand about animation and I understand even less about movie making. I'm a slow, but steady learner.

I forgot to add this link, just in case anyone might want to know more about Toon Boom Studio.
