Problems with Layers in Sketchbook Flipbook

pkavanaugh — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 18:00:53 GMT

Hi there,

I am using Sketchbook for an animation course and when you use Flipbook, there aren't the same options in the Layers editor as there are in just a regular Sketchbook file. For example, you can't change the opacity of a layer or lock it. And you are limited to just one foreground, one midground and one background - no option to add additional layers. Are these things just not options in Flipbook? Or am I missing something here?

Also, one of my students is having an issue where the foreground layer sees right through to everything on the background layer. I will attach a screenshot:

Any help is much appreciated! It seems like there is a Sketchbook "Pro" version according to documentation online, but I just chatted with an Autodesk agent who said there is not such thing as Sketchbook Pro.

thanks,

-Trish

The Flipbook option at this time is limited to the 3 layers.

Thanks for the reply David. I voted for more layers!
What about my question re: the opacity level of the background layers and foreground layers (being able to see all of the BG even through the lines of the FG)

thanks.
