You can put any number of layers inside a group layer and apply a mask on them, or even a layer containing lots of other layers inside a group layer, so it's just that one layer you'll be masking.

You have to decide what you want. A smart action (with a controlling smart bone) takes over, no matter what. You'll only have keyframes in the main timeline channel of the controlling smart bone, these you can set freely. But you don't have to make every action "smart" (that is, link a con...

Apple's handling of their very own ProRes codec leaves a lot to desire. Yes, export from Moho on transparent nearly always leaves a thin border, which is dreadfully visible when put on anything dark. If you have a choice during import (like in AFX), try "import with pre-multiply alpha". (T...

No, linking doesn't work that way.

You can, however, build a character and animate it, then duplicate that character, and change its attributes.

I never subscribed to any school of a fixed frame interval. From my very beginnings on I used 1's for fast stuff, 2's for normal movement, 3's or 4's for slow, and a lot of holds. Later in the studio, in the olden analogue days, I learned to not mix intervals in a way to make the cameraman's life mo...

Yes - met him in 2016, where he gave away little props from his current stop motion film!

Yes, definitely. Getting a frame sequence numbered by actual frame numbers would be so great in every workflow. Since we're at it: wouldn't it be nice if "import image sequence" would place images at the frame numbers the files have? Right now I do this by hand, importing PNGs from TVPaint...

Offset print colours are translucent so they can add up. Try setting the top layers to multiply.

That's good enough for a single scene IMHO, but a "real" half-tone would have 4 colour channels with tilted orientation in each ... If you aim for a a "moving print" look, that's possibly best done in some specialized plug-in in a compositing program. (I'm quite sure they used th...

It helps if you could post some example image. Also information about project dimensions and line width. This sounds strange, I've never had problems like that.

Additionally to the info about how much pay is in it, you should show some examples of finished animation - so others know which level is expected - and some artwork/designs - not everyone wants to work on any style.

I really like the chapter heads 2, 3, and 4. Shows the interaction of all these aspects!

I never have a cycle start at #0, always on #1 or later.

Ran into that problem recently. Check your cycle key if it's set to 3's as well - that was the solution in my case.

On Mac I can open Moho with "show packet content" and get down to a folder with the brushes, which I can delete one by one. (Of course backup this before you do this.)
