Can I recover this project?
Hi there, I'm really noob with this tool. I had to create a project for an art subject in April 2024 while working on animations using rotoscoping technique. I'm taking this subject again now and wanted to recover this project. In the meantime OpenToonz was uninstalled and reinstalled in my laptop.
I'm using Windows 11 and I installed ffmpeg, but I'm completely at a loss here and I don't know whether my project is corrupted, I'm just setting something wrong or it's not longer compatible, or maybe I'm not rendering the right column.
It was a short video at 10 fps drawn and I had at least 30 frames drawn. When I try to load it, I can't see either the original video nor my animation. I tried creating a new project following the step by step guide and then pasting the .tnz file into the folder, and though I can see the video, my animation just shows a black screen. If I export the levels, the output is a bunch of black images in .tif format. Is it lost?
I used this site to upload the project as a zip folder. Though I don't really know where is it better to upload files, if needed I can host it in other site.
