I'm having trouble with the extension,. I'd appreciate some help! When I click on "camera layer: none" button, it says: A document must be active for this function to work. perhaps you are in the home screen?" I'm definitivelynot in the home screen
Hello! No worries my friend :D So the reason this error would pop up is if you are either on the home screen OR if there is currently no sprite. To set a camera layer youll have to click on a layer that has a rectangle for the camera to use, like this red rectangle shown at 1:44.
Just keep in mind that the rectangle can move around to follow the action it currently has to stay the same shape and sizd for it to work correctly though out the animation. (Though this has nothing to do with that error thoguh!)
Can you post a screen shot so I can see what might be happening? Lkkely would be because there is no sprite (meaning no pixels on the canvas at all)
im trying to use this to make a new page for my comic and each time i try to export with the plugin the camera only stays on the selected frame's camera, as i have used the tween plugin to move the camera around and have no duplicate frames for the camera in my animation. i can send the files i am using if you need them. this has occured on the current version and the beta versions of aseprite.
oh! Hmm I'll send ya a message on bsky so I can see what you have set up! :)
Edit: Talked with Amphibian in dms turns out that vcam groups is not implemented. I will have to patch this up for the next update. The issue was that they had layers in group which seems to break things.
Thank you! I did have plans to add a simplified version of my tween tool in this in an update down the line, I think I even mentioned this in the video overview for this one.
I do have my previously released tools that may pair up nicely with this in the meantime though links below. 😀
I agree it would be awesome to have the camera and backgrounds be more reactive including paralax along with camera movement (like zooming in and out as well) so I'll see what i can do for the next version for sure! :D
Oh heck yeah Pen! Even more epic fight sequences when?! Would love to see your amazing animations and what you could do with a movable camera angle! Bring the extra extra juice 😆

Looking forward to adding support for this :)
Looks great extension. Is it possible ease in/out and parallax too?

Thanks for answer and your right. You mentioned in video about Tween Machine.
And for last answer: Can we combine Vcam with auto scroll too?
Ohhhh I need this!!! Yes carbs

Mothman used Volt Tackle!
It was quite effective... we think.. though we never saw what happened to the lamp. BIG moth hugs I bet!
