David Green's CinePaint Wish List
May 29, 2003
- Sub Window

Loads in a selected part of the frame, and merges it with the
rest of the frame when it is saved out. This is helpful when
working on a full app frame, but only focusing on 2.35:1 projection.It
allows more frames to be loaded into RAM, and is generally faster
working with.
- Z and X keys to toggle previous/next frames. Enable user
to choose a feature and assign a key to it. For instance, to
switch between clone, and brush, or something. Space can play
the sequence.
- View Channels - R G B and A keys show the corresponding channels.
[This is related to sub-layers on Robin's list.]
- Importing - now it is open the first frame, then go to the
frame manager to add additional frames. It will be easier for
the artists if they can just get an import dialog box, that allows
them to select the range of frames to load, and other options.
[Any changes in the RnH v35 tarball?]


- Realtime Playback. Is the default playback 24fps? Set the
playback rate.
- Automation - Do one sequence of strokes, on one frame, and
apply them to a selected range of frames. Also, save that action.
[This is the same as the macro recorder/player feature on Robin's
list.]
- Advancing Frames

If an artist is working on a 200 frame sequence, they can not
load all 200 frames into ram. So lets say they load frames 1-50.
Commotion allows them to click a arrow, that will advance the
live frames to 51-100. This saves time, and prevents forgotten
frames. Please refer to pic.
- Quadrant Switching - For dustbusting, view an image at 100%,
starting at the top left quadrant, and by hitting a hot key,
switch quadrants. If possible, this will rock while playing out
realtime.
- Opacity - Have the keys to change opacity 1-0, so, 1=10%,
0=100%.
- Saving Brushes - self-explanatory.
