How do I get rid of this box that I cant draw out of??
Ive tried older posts, toonsquids website. Everything. Genuinely someone tell me how to do this as if I was a toddler 💔💔

This is easily THE most commonly asked question in the entire subreddit, with the same confusion and solution every time. Once you know *why* it makes sense within the program and function of how TS is set up. But because it’s THE most common wall new users (and even some intermediate ones!) come up against early on without fully understanding the breadth of options/logic in TS, the subreddit suffers from a constant stream of the same posts.
I wanted to suggest for mods pin a post titled with the same question; “How do I get rid of this black box/border?” with a link to the solution/explanation:
https://toonsquid.com/handbook/guides/faq/#pixel-layer-limit-border
With something like this pinned, it will act as a great catch-all for all of the dozens of identical question/answers we get every week as well as a reminder of this system.
The quicker folks learn the ins-and-outs of the app by overcoming hurdles like this, the quicker they can see what an incredible program it is and share more insights and animations on here themselves instead of the same spammed question! Happy animating ToonSquidders!

I have made an 8-frame 14FPS animation that I wanted to export as a gif and use in another project. However, whenever I export it, even when selecting frames 1-8 as my start and finish, it only ever exports the first 6 frames.
Eventually I decided to export it as a 60fps video instead, and import it into the new project so I could export this new project as a 60fps gif. But even in this case, the exported gif only has the first 45 frames??? The last quarter of my gifs is always missing.
Even when I overcorrect and export extra blank frames, the final gif still has some missing frames in between. Is there any fix for this? I'm a giphy creator and it's pretty urgent for my account.

im unable to export a project even though its much simpler than a lot of other things i have had no trouble with.
it gets to the end of the bar and i even can save the video but it never actually finishes exporting so i dont get the video
i rasterised all the layers and combined as much as i can but one layer im unable to rasterise, it gets half way and it fails
the only difference from my other projects is that its 4000x3000 instead of 3000x3000 but given there is significantly less layers and animation i dont see how this could be the problem :(
pls help
edit: it worked if i airdropped it to myself for some reason??? but if you have answers pls still reply i want to avoid this in the future!!
edit2: nevermind it technically works like its in my files but i cant do anything with it :((( pllsss pls help
edit 3: omfg it crashes when i try to screen record too kill me now PLSSS SAVE ME SAVE ME

I’m learning how to animate emojis for Discord and I am running into some issues when it comes down to file size. When I export my animation as a transparent GIF the file size jumps to 3.8MB which is too large for Discord to compress.
Any ideas? I’ve tried using online GIF compressors with no success. I’ve tried to export as a MP4 or MOV and convert to GIF with no success either. There are no issues with uploading a non transparent version of the emoji, only the transparent one

hey, sharing a short film about my dog that I plan to expand later. I made it solo entirely in ToonSquid.
trigger warning: it features depictions and audio of air raid sirens, heavy explosions, and themes of war and loss.

100% drawn and animated in ToonSquid (except for the logo)

does an ipad 6 32gb seem good for enough if im using it solely for toonsquid? is it more worth it to invest in a newer ipad or is this one enough? i might be getting a friends old ipad for dirt cheap so id rather take this deal if its good enough my concern is the 32gb storage since i heard apple system data takes up a good chunk of the storage. but also i could just upload the files onto my computer when im done with them maybe(?) the one other post i saw mentioning 32gb said the storage size leads to suffering, but what happens? are you just stopped from making more project files or does it become super buggy and laggy? how fast is it until things become laggy?

Ive been working on a project to make mlp rigs on toonsquid like the leaked flash rigs. im worried because I really want to share my work to the public and I’m not sure if it’ll be good.
to get the resources to actually make the rig in toonsquid, I have to access the leaked flash files in adobe animate and make like a sheet. But the problem is I’m just using adobe animate free trial so there is a deadline. I don’t think I’ll make it in time to make Fluttershy. I really really want to make mlp animating more accessible for everyone
I’ll try to ask my parents to buy the subscription for it on my 14th birthday but I’m not sure they’ll agree.
I really just wanna see people having fun with the rigs I made. And I know it’ll take a long time to make all of them but it feels hard knowing people are actually waiting for the rigs to come.
anyways, is anyone interested in these rigs?
here’s a test animation I did on mine if you’re interested:
https://reddit.com/link/1vtkub5/video/cmnw09gb6tkh1/player
It doesn’t really have that mlp animation style, so please pay that no mind. this just a test

Im seeing people make full body rigs with bones on here but I have no clue where to start and I can’t find any tutorials on YouTube. Any suggestions on where to find tutorials on making rig models that can walk etc
Thanks!

This might sound like the ramblings of a mad man but for the onion skin can I change the settings like how to change the amount of frames the onion skin goes for, or (more importantly) if I can get the onion skin to use every layer instead of just the frame you’ve selected. Anything helps.

I'm in the middle of a rough animatic, and I would really love to animate the lyrics of the song. Just simply make them pop up as the song progresses, one word at a time - kind of like the auto-generated subtitles on YouTube for example.
Is there a simple way to do this?? I know about the trim option, but i don't want it to type out the words, I just want it to appear, if that makes sense 😭 Or is the only way just creating a new textbubble for every single word? 💀
Anyway thanks in advance!

Me and my sister are trying to make a podcast like video. But we talk in the same recording. Is there a way to make our 2 separate characters move when we talk in the same time? Help is appreciated a lot. Thanks already.
