Making an exposure sheet

@JacobZeier1992 Hello again! The x-sheet feature has been requested for a long time, and there’s actually an implementation provided by one of our excellent contributors. There’s still technical review pending for proper integration but it was meant to have a csv export as well which could be used as you intended.

Pencil2D has two possible ways of saving an image sequence in the export dialog:

  • One will export all the frames on a timeline, including the “exposures” that between keyframes across the timeline
  • And the other one will export only the keyframes.
  • If you used the File > Export > Image Sequence ... you’d get all the frames.
  • If you enable the [x] export keyframes only option, it will take each keyframe across the timeline and export a corresponding image numbered with the exact frame it was originally.

With this you can map them directly into Kdenlive or any video editor as long as you set the default image duration import to 1 frame.

In the case of kdenlive and other open source video editors we could consider having an MLT export file that would help to directly map the images of a drawing layer as a video track and an audio layer as an audio track, but this might take a while as well.

Thank you again for your input :slightly_smiling_face:
