It would be a good idea to enable that so that you can see all the layers in the Timeline. In Settings → Configure Krita → General → Miscellaneous, there’s an option box for ‘Automatically pin new layers to timeline’. That is probably the layer you’ve selected somewhere in the Layers docker.

[On your Timeline, you only have one layer displayed. So, the question is, how do you get a static image into an animated layer? Within and between animated layers and their frames, you can do copy/cut/paste/drag and all sorts of things. To do it manually, you have to realise that you can’t use the normal copy/paste techniques to move images between ‘static’ layers and ‘animated’ layers.

You can do that with this one if you like, to avoid the tedium of manual conversion. That will be easy to manipulate into a krita animation.įor a longer animation it would be better to render out each of the individual animated folders from CSP to a stored image sequence and then bring them into krita using File → Import Animation Frames to give an animated layer in krita. Two groups of six images and a static background. It looks like you have the individual animated frames of CSP as groups of static images in krita. In CSP it can be done by dragging a layer you drew outside of the folder into it and use “specify layer” to assign it to a specific frame of the animation Imgur Krita from what I learned handles it this way every layer is its own animation folder which is better in some regards but from that it gives the impression id have to scrap my entire file and redraw every layer and frame manually but is there a way of taking doing it without redrawing. The way CSP handles this is animation folders, creating little timelines each one on top of each other, foreground> effects> line art> color> shading> background.

If you make changes to the image outside the dialog, the changes will be applied and the dialog will be automatically closed.Hi, in a comment from another post, I mentioned I’ve been a CSP only artist for about 6-7 years, and I’m looking into transitioning over to Krita in light on the new CSP licensing system, I currently know how to do use Photoshop and used to use Krita about 7 years ago, so I’m a little familiar with the software, but there are some major differences between the two have that I need to re learn, in another thread I was shared how differently Krita and CSP handle animation, and want to try and migrate an existing animation file I made CSP and migrate it over to Krita as a good way to understand these differences. If you select one layer in the drop-down menu, a preview of the canvas will be shown. Possible target layers are determined through the following criteria:Īny Clone Layer that is selected is invalid.Ī parent or clone of any invalid layer is invalid.

Otherwise, it would be the common source of selected Clone Layers. If the current source of them consists of multiple layers, the default activated selection in the drop-down menu will be blank. A dialog will pop up and there is a drop-down menu with all possible layers to be set as the source of all selected Clone Layers. In the context menu, there is an action named Set Copy From. To do so, select one or more Clone Layers in the docker (hold Ctrl or Shift and left-click the layers).

You can change the source of one or more Clone Layers in the Layers Docker.

Use the Clone Layer feature to create a clone of the layer that you drew your character onĪpply an HSV filter mask to the clone layer to make the shapes on it white (or blue, or green etc.)Īpply a blur filter mask to the clone layer so it looks like a “glow”.Īs you keep painting and adding details, erasing on the first layer, Krita will automatically update the clone layer, making your “glow” apply to every change you make. Have a Paint Layer where you draw your character Example uses of Clone Layers ¶įor example, if you were painting a picture of some magic person and wanted to create a glow around them that was updated as you updated your character, you could: You cannot draw or paint on it directly, but it can be used to create effects by applying different types of layers and masks (e.g. A clone layer is a layer that keeps an up-to-date copy of another layer.
