Hi I am a new user to Toon Boom however very experienced with After Effects and Adobe stuff. Whenever I import a video clip the whole clip appears as solid black. I cant there fore see anything. If i click on the draw layer, the black video disapears. I dont understand how to trace .
Ive tried switching to open gl to the other one and back, and experiementhing with different settings. I have a top range Amd powered laptop with 4 gig ram and dual core 2.8 Mhz processors. windows 7.
Works perfect with more powerful software such as Traktor scratch/ serato.
Ive also tried importing as a image sequence, but it puts every single frame on a different layer which doesnt help. And when i click on the drawing layer i cant see the imported images.
So far, unuseable.
Hmm… looks like a graphic-card issue…?
Some laptops switching to the integrated graphic card when on battery power…
Toon Boom doesn’t work very well with those integrated graphic cards…

What format / codecs are your movie-files…?
Did you apply any alpha channels, e.g. Animation / PNG etc. with Millions of Colours +…?
Importing an Image-Sequence into one Image Layer:
In the Timeline create an Image Layer…
Right click the first cell… Import Images…
Select all the images and import…
