Lasso tool blur issue

When I use the lasso tool to move an image without having to re draw each frame (I make gacha animations as a hobby). A friend had the same issue, and I looked up the problem yet found no results. What are any steps I can take to resolve this? If nobody knows, FlipaClip, please update this.

Quality gets worse by rotating
Hi, when I lasso an element and copy then paste the element to other frames, the element pixel quality is bad and is blurry. Am I doing something wrong or missing a step? thanks for any feedback.
Idea for implementing laso and layer.

It would save lot's of work if there were an option on the laso tool.to select multiple layers at the same time. We could turn on and of the layers desired to be selected with the tool, and then make all transformation at once.

Copy n paste frame make drawing blur

So i making animation with my drawing, but i realise the more i copying my frames, the painting that i made become more blur. How should i do? I make 1 example for you look at it

Unfortunately, there is not much we can do because this is just how raster images behave. 

Raster images are images that contain pixel data. They aren't vector images where you can resize without losing quality.

So why is this happening? Well... selecting a part of an image and copying and pasting it and copying it again and pasting it again should continue to copy and paste the same pixels without losing quality.

Now the issue is when the selected image is copied and then rotated or scaled. Once the rotation or scale happens it changes the individual pixels. Those pixels will never be the same as they loose some of the original details. That is why when you copy and paste and then copy the newly pasted image the image keeps getting blurry as it loses information, essentially loses quality.

So the issue isn't really fixable. But how can the user avoid these issues?

  1. Always copy from the original source, not an already modified pasted image. Some animators create a frame with all the parts of a character and refer to it to copy elements.
  2. Make the canvas size bigger to have more pixel data so it's harder to notice the pixel degradation.

Hope this makes sense!

Best,

as I move the layer with lasso tool across frames, it progressively gets blurrier. The end result is extremely blurry. I have duplicate layer enabled, so each layer is a copy of the one behind it, so I move it up a little bit using lasso tool.

that’s the 29th frame, 10 layers, 15fps.

Could you please explain what exactly is happening?

Hello,

Would you mind being slightly more specific about the problem you are having so we can better understand how to fix this? What is the exact issue that you have with the laso tool? If possible please provide us with a screenshot or even better a video recording of your issue.



Thank you,

Dusan
