I am learning to use ToonBoom essentials using png art files drawn in procreate. I realize that the drawing tools in TB are really good, but I am used to procreate having used it a few years would love to use both in conjunction. Toon boom will not accept png files that have been named in the manner that the PC names things, so I figured instead of having to rename each individual png in a rig I intend to use for animation in the pc, (and we’re talking like 30 or so pngs per character) I just named each piece as I drew them. This made the process a bit easier and I was hoping it was a way around the mind numbing job of spending a Sunday morning renaming PNG files one by one.
Question: So after all that, the PC renames everything as it comes in, which means I need to spend another hour naming these tiny bits before getting them into the program. This is something I can do but just super don’t want to, and it will be a major strain on my workflow going forward.
Questions:
- Is there a place in the settings where you can tell Toon boom to accept file names as assigned by a pc?
- Is there a trick with a pc in the settings or something that will change the way it names the files into a suitable file naming format? I am old and not great with machines more complicated than toasters.
Wow, I feel pretty frustrated, I thought I’d solved a problem and absolutely hadn’t.
Any help is very appreciated, thanks so much.
