Pencil 2D FAQ (now open)

@tweedpawn Hey! Glad to hear Pencil2D is being useful for you. So far there’s not a video import function available, only to export. I’ll make a feature request for this soon hoping it will be possible to implement.

If you want to import a video you’ll have to export an image sequence from a different program and then import that on Pencil2D, however we’re in the process of fixing a problem with the image sequence import where each image is imported every two frames. We are bound to release a New development build with these changes soon I hope.

What I can recommend to solve your issue for now is, if you can create a GIF from your video you can absolutely import that just fine into Pencil2D and rotoscope it, if that’s what you need.

I found a software that makes GIF’s directly from videos, it’s open source. Here’s the link:

And here’s a demo video from the creator:

Hope this helps :slight_smile:
