Post by neo_man89 »

I filled a characters detailed head with color at the wrong frame! So it plays for a while with no color and then the color pops in and goes throught the toon. Is there like some keyframe thing or whatever that I can drag back so the color lasts through the whole thing? I can't do CTRL Z because it was too late and I had already done a bunch of stuff afterwards. What can I do?!

Have a look in the Timeline under Fill-Colour, there should be a Key-frame.
If not - in the timeline go to settings and check “Fill Colour”.
In the Timeline delete your colour-fill-key-frame at "your wrong frame"
and start your fill at zero, or drag the keyframe back to frame one.

Cheers

Just to expand on what Nolan said:

Either:

On frame 0, click on each fill/outline shape with the Select Shape tool, and manually change the alpha for that shape (you'll see it's set on 0, fully transparent).

or

On the frame you set up the head colours, click on each fill/outlineshape with the Select Shape tool, which will reveal the fill/outline keys for that particular shape. Copy those newly revealed keyframes to frame 0.

Then, as Nolan said, you can delete the later fill keyframe.
