Creating new presets

We will now study the first part on top of the Layer Preset Manager, which, as shown by the arrow on the right, will let you open a contextual menu, or click on Anim Layer to make it appear.

The New Preset menu

  • The first option, New Preset, will let you create a layer according to your preferences with the functions available in the rest of the Manager that we studied beforehand. Named Untitled by default, it’s up to you to choose whatever options you want to create your own preset.
The New Preset panel

  • You can see the list containing the four presets proposed by TVPaint Animation (Anim Layer, Background Layer…) and to whom your own presets will be added.
