Anyway to scroll the canvas in Anime 7?

Post by frankzentura »

I find it really frustrating that the canvas is always focused on center there doesn't seem to be a way to navigate the canvas. I know I can zoom in and zoom out, but I'd like to go up and down and side by side. This way I can have a deck of characters that I can pull into scene when I need them.

Am I missing something here?

Use the layer symbol in the tools to move the whole frame this will shrink or expand and move left or right. Then click on timeline while moving the layer and you will see a blue line tracing your movements.

Yeah that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking to scroll the actual canvas. When I zoom out, I lose detail. I don't want to lose the positioning in order to look at something off screen.

In the Workspace Tools click on the little hand icon.

What settings are you using with the tracing feature?
I have tried many of them, and I am not new to this stuff, and I am not always producing good results. Many times, the artwork looks different than the original.I have better luck with the tracing using Adobe illustrator.
If you can share your settings, I will try it your way and see what happens. Get More: Miami canvas print
