Today I’ll show how you can now paste images from the clipboard into OpenToonz, which is great for adding references, backgrounds or characters into your animations.
I also show how you can copy an image from a YouTube video (or other video) into your scene, so you can examine the image or use it in your animation.
This is available now in the nightly build.
Don't forget to rename your OpenToonz stuff folder before installing this version
or you won't see the new feature.
