Yes, for traditional line testing, BUT I can tell you that I have 4 class sections of an online stop-motion class running every semester at the university where I teach, with students using HD webcams (Logitech C920, Logitech C930e, Logitech C910) for stop-motion in TVPaint. But except of this special purposes it seems to me nearly nobody would really use that stopmotion-feature. I thought maybe for line-testing purposes or something like that. Schwarzgrau wrote: To be honest I never understand why TVPaint supports cameras at all. įor anyone interested, here are two tutorials on YouTube on how to make a simple attachment to mount a webcam on the back of a DSLR for video assist when shooting stop motion: Nick Hilligoss has an elegant solution for webcam video assist feature for Nikon DSLR (no live view in TVPaint). until an hypothetic DSLR plugin raise up to take advantage of the LiveView feature. Lighttable available during the shot, the camera was set of course in manual mode, to prevent luma (exposition) fluctuations,īut I agree for heavy production, the solution mentionned by David is the way to go for the time being, Has been shot with a still camera (Canon Powershot A640) and the tvpa Canon Plugin,įrom memory, the original project size was 1600x1200, (high resolution, but not the highest available), Just for info, the little giraffe (wooden wakouwa) sample illustrating the stopmotion advertising My comments were meant to SUPPORT TVPaint, not deride it. he captures his images on a Nikon DSLR, but brings them into TVPaint to manipulate/fix/adjust the images using TVPaint's tools. I believe that stop-motion master animator Nick Hilligoss (sometimes seen on this forum) uses TVPaint that way. TVPaint's tools have so many advantages to offer. to adjust the colors and image quality if needed, then export the image captures as a PNG image sequence to an NLE program to do the final editing. Then use TVPaint to make timing adjustments, do digital paint-outs of stop-motion rigging /wires, use the FX Stack Histogram, Color Adjust, etc. captures from the DSLR's memory card into TVPaint on a new layer over top of the webcam captures (which can be deleted at that point or kept as a hidden layer for reference). Īfter the scene is animated, transfer the high-res. images, with a webcam mounted parallel to the DSLR to provide live video feed to TVPaint (to take advantage of the MIX /onion-skinning function for animating). I think it could be done, using a Canon DSLR to capture high-res. (I'm just telling if you plan to make a feature film in stop-motion using TVPaint, it's maybe not the best solution.) motion.php" onclick="window.open(this.href) return false ion-camera" onclick="window.open(this.href) return false Įlodie, I'm surprised to read you say that, because of what's posted on the website: But it says it is both Windows and OSX compatible, so it should work fine with TVPaint: This camera also looks like it would work well, because it has manual focus and manual exposure, but I haven't tried it out yet with TVPaint. " onclick="window.open(this.href) return false For Windows users the Logitech webcam software will control the exposure and focus. iGlasses will let you manually set exposure and focus on the Logitech webcam. If you're on Mac you should also get a webcam control software called iGlasses to run the webcam through (then select "iGlasses" as the video input source in TVPaint). For stop-motion frame capture the Logitech C920 or C930e HD webcams work well.
