Thank you Micah Buzan! 5 years later, your tutorial is still helpful!

This is so helpful! I've been searching for animating software trying to find one that best suits my needs, and I can't believe I've never come across TVPaint before. It looks perfect for what I want it for.

Oh my god that taco bell story was hilarious. I'm so excited for your future videos on animation techniques, I binged watched your videos the other day after coming across your posting of The Thief on tumblr. At first I couldn't believe it was animated by one person (or in this decade). And Diving in a Sea of Light, I can't... can't even begin to describe that experience, the last minute and a half when the piano comes in, that animation was bliss. You use animation to communicate things I've never seen. You're insanely dedicated and your vlogs are extremely insightful, thank you for putting yourself out there and being so genuine

Dude, what a great video! I've been searching so much for a simple video that covers the basics and this absolutely nails it. Really appreciate your work, look forward to watching the rest!

Where's Part 2?

Edit: OMG! you've been continuing your tutorials. I thought you were one of those guys who say new tutorial, and then just give up. Thanks for not giving up

thanks bro, this is the most helpful vid about tvpaint ♡

Excellent program, an old colleague teaches with this one out West, nice work done by his students. Another good program is DigiCel Flipbook, quite a lot less expensive than TVPaint. You've made a nice tutorial showing the user interface here, thanks. One suggestion if I may, folks should 'think' animation at 24 frames per second, you can always shoot on two's.

That is some zen-ass background music. I suddenly have the desire to hang a piano and vibraphone as a windchime. I just need a winch and some pulleys.

Tysm! Now ill be animating in Tv Paint from now on!

[Fighnimates-rosselc]

Awesome tutorial! I want to start doing animations, and this is very handy to help me start so thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this insightful tutorial. Something that you might want to add in your future videos is shortcuts for the commands you're using, (if there are any) as it will make working much faster and it's better to know them from the beginning while still getting used to the program. I'd really appreciate it if you can comment with a couple of shortcuts for the commands you used on this video. I will be trying the exercise you just did as i just installed the program :D thank you again for your dedication and time :)

Hey Micah,

Cool Radiohead reference at the end. I'm really enjoying their latest album, I must have listened to it 20 times by now haha. How are you finding it so far?

Hello everyone, im going to an industry standard test in TV paint for LUPUS in a few days, they are looking for "renderers" I havent touched TV paint in my life (they chose me for my supreme talent and overall greatness) any idea what i should learn specially? (Pls help!)

[jingyuandu]

thank you so much, Micah, for this easy-to-follow tutorial! I have a silly question: does this program be able to automatically insert in-between frames according to key frames so the movement between these two key frames looks smoother.

You may want to mention the price of this great art program. It is prohibitive for most beginners. It is a Professional Tool for
