Drawing recorder

The aim of the Drawing Recorder Panel (Windows > Drawing > Drawing Recorder) is to save all the user's pen strokes when they are drawing. It is then possible to create an animation from this static drawing. The end result is an animation showing each step of the drawing and how it has been constructed.

Note that it is possible to change the current tool being used during the drawing phase.

The Drawing Recorder Panel is very simple: it has three buttons and a preview area:

  • The drop-down menu allows you to choose to preserve the alpha channel (Current layer) or not (Display). You can also choose to display a cursor denoting your pen's location in the resulting animation through the activation of the Show Cursor option.
  • The preview area and the slider below it allow to see and navigate between each frame of the record.
  • The Record (Drawing Recorder Rec button) / Pause button (Drawing Recorder Pause button) starts / pauses the recording.
  • Once your drawing is finished, click on the New Project button (Drawing Recorder New button) to create a new Project from all the recorded strokes/frames.
  • Click on the Skull button (Drawing Recorder Clear button) to delete the current recording and be able to start a new one.
