In this video I show you my 3 top tips (and a few extras for good measure) for how to best maximise your workspace in OpenToonz. I hear a lot of people commenting how the standard interface layout is really confusing, so why not change it and learn a few ways to be more efficient as you work. And that's what I thought I'd do today.
If you have a favourite tip for maximising your workspace or workflow, why not tell us about it in the comments.
Tips:
00:40 Tip #3 - Make the main window larger: maximise in windows and use the OpenToonz 'Full Screen' option (Ctrl + `).
01:53 Tip #2 - Make the interface streamlined: Organise your rooms and the panels in them. And learn shortcuts for using the panels.
05:17 Tip #1 - Use each panel full screen once you've setup your tools (Keyboard shortcut, single back quote: `).
