I haven't touched AnimColoir2 for a while. I have made a start a while back. But it still needs tons of work. I need to push myself to do this
What do you mean by ON in the question about zcp? Perhaps an error in translation
What is question 3 about, I don't really understand what you are asking

Glad you replied~ Sor~,i mean .zxp format,its for CEP extension.cause i cant use Adobe Cloud Creative's plugin market in CN. Question 3 means: A frame takes up 3 frames, like this ,you've made it(1&2):
PS could you add the missing Chinese translation for me if you like? You can add them in the file ive attached. PS why do you state "Nouveau 3 cadre " because that is French, you do see Chinese there. At least you should, i have worked earlier with a different person which added some translations and i also did some myself using Google Translate
I still dont quite get what you mean. The buttons do 1 or 2 frames, but i've added a function so i can custom frames. But not everything can be added. Do you mean you want a method to add 3 frame. I did make a function to make the frame-step custom. Perhaps i can add something similar. Im no animator and the extension was set up by Stephane Baril. I upgraded it and added some more features. I thought its the most common to use 1- and 2 frames.
Ah you mean in China you cant reach Adobe Cloud. I can try to make a ZXP again, its always a bit of a hustle with terminal. Doesnt the manual install work for you, its not that hard to do.
Here's the current Chinese and English language files. Ive added English just in case, so you can compare. Im not sure how good your English is or perhaps you use a translate app. languages-Chines-English.zip
- PS 如果您愿意,您可以为我添加缺少的中文翻译吗?您可以将它们添加到附加的文件中。PS 你为什么说“Nouveau 3 cadre”,因为那是法国人,你确实在那里看到中国人。至少你应该,我之前和另一个人一起工作过,他添加了一些翻译,我自己也使用谷歌翻译做了一些
- 我仍然不太明白你的意思。按钮可以执行 1 或 2 帧,但我添加了一个功能,因此我可以自定义框架。但并非所有内容都可以添加。你的意思是你想要一个添加 3 帧的方法。我确实做了一个函数来定制帧步长。也许我可以添加类似的东西。我不是动画师,扩展是由斯蒂芬·巴里尔(Stephane Baril)设置的。我升级了它并添加了更多功能。我认为使用 1 帧和 2 帧是最常见的。
- 啊,你的意思是在中国,你无法访问Adobe Cloud。我可以尝试再次制作 ZXP,它总是有点忙于终端。手动安装不适合您,这并不难做到。
以下是当前的中文和英文语言文件。为了以防万一,我添加了英语,所以你可以比较。我不确定你的英语有多好,或者你使用翻译应用程序。 语言-中文-英语.zip
Of course~I'm happy to be of some help, if that's helpful. 1.I'm not a programmer so I can only edit in .txt, hope this works! here's some quesion about translations:
I use the version v2.2.1,I can only click the button so I don't have this shortcut maybe? I can't see the effect of this shortcut.
I tried to use the effect of these two shortcuts, but the effect is not stable and happens differently when the playhead is in different positions?Maybe U can check it
2.The use of 3 frames is also relatively common in Japanese animation.The current version is also good enough, but I still hope you'll consider adding the 3 frame (●'◡'●) 3.Yes,cant use the Adobe's plug-in market in CN now
Of course~I'm happy to be of some help, if that's helpful. 1.I'm not a programmer so I can only edit in .txt, hope this works! here's some question about translations:
You can open those files in a simple text editor. Add the missing items or perhaps correct them
I use the version v2.2.1,I can only click the button 20231103-154851 so I don't have this shortcut maybe? I can't see the effect of this shortcut. 20231103-154403 I tried to use the effect of these two shortcuts, but the effect is not stable and happens differently when the playhead is in different positions?Maybe U can check it 20231103-155520 20231103-155533
Im not sure what you mean. InBetweenNext or InBetweenPrev, moves the current frame between the next or previous 2 frames

Yes, this function sometimes doesn't seem to work. Im not sure why that is. When a frame is just 2, it seems it won't work. When its longer then 2 it does work. It also sometimes has issues when the frame you want to cut, is near the end of the timeline. It seems photoshop itself also has issues. When you want to split a frame which is 2 frames, that also doesn't work.
2.The use of 3 frames is also relatively common in Japanese animation.The current version is also good enough, but I still hope you'll consider adding the 3 frame (●'◡'●)
Im thinking of adding a function where user can set its own value, the default will be 3 but a user can add a different number. This will take much work, i need to add code ll over the place. Also, the icons, that's actually a custom font. It's kinda weird how this is set up in the beginning.
I think I got add custom frame length working. I want to test back at home tomorrow, at work on osx I worked. I made it optional, so by default it will do 3 but the user can call a dialog and input any number. Then the next time you press it, it will use that number.
Still need to work on the part that the playhead will also move. That's a tricky part as well. I'll hope I can push it to a test branch tomorrow
我想我添加了自定义帧长度。我想明天回到家里测试,在我工作的osx上工作。我将其设置为可选,因此默认情况下它将执行 3,但用户可以调用对话框并输入任何数字。然后下次你按下它时,它将使用该数字。
仍然需要处理播放头也将移动的部分。这也是一个棘手的部分。我希望明天能把它推到测试分支
Nice! It seems like a good choice,i'll complete CN trans on monday~ hope U have fun on weekend
Okay had some issue again with custom frame step and later also with custom frame length. As far as i could test, it works also on Windows now. Could you test this branch, you need to install manually https://github.com/schroef/AnimDessin2/tree/custom-frame-length
Ps this is the update language file zh_CN.zip
好的,自定义帧步长和后来的自定义帧长度再次出现问题。据我测试,它现在也适用于 Windows。你能测试这个分支吗,你需要手动安装 https://github.com/schroef/AnimDessin2/tree/custom-frame-length
Ps 这是更新语言文件zh_CN.zip
Hi, this version does not show up for use(in Photosjop extension), I put the plugin in this directory:
Ps this is the New update language file(Still lacking a few untranslated articles messages.zip
You need to remove everything behind "AnimDessign2", so remove "-custom-frame-length". Did you add that yourself?
PS you did restart Photoshop when you installed it, correct?
The name should be like this com.sbaril.animdessin2
Though i tested adding the name like you did "AnimDessign2-custom-frame-length" and for me it still shows.
Did you also set the "DebugMode', according to this part; https://github.com/schroef/animDessin2#installing-manual-method. The CSXS values can also set higher, i think ive set them my self to all from 5 till 10
PS i changed the keyboard icon as well. Not sure it more clear, but its does look more like a keyboard.
您需要删除“AnimDessign2”后面的所有内容,因此请删除“-custom-frame-length”。是你自己加的吗? PS 您在安装Photoshop时确实重新启动了它,对吗?名称应该是这样的:虽然我测试了像你一样添加名称“AnimDessign2-custom-frame-length”,但对我来说它仍然显示。根据这部分,您是否还设置了“DebugMode”;https://github.com/schroef/animDessin2#installing-manual-method。CSXS 值也可以设置得更高,我认为我将它们设置为 5 到 10
com.sbaril.animdessin2
No, It came with me when I downloaded it"-custom-frame-length" I re-downloaded today's version,does it right? the keyboard icon seems like does't work?
PS.Before I dragged the whole folder directly into the extension folder like this,But it still doesn't show..
Later I put in this folder separately and put the licence in this folder,it shows...
And I already added“DebugMode”=1,tryed 5-10 this morning,cant help.so i change it back to 1.
No you need to look under "branches" then check, yesterday you showed it. It shoud show version 2.2.2
You did go to this link and downloaded the zip. Then put the com.sbrasil.animdessin2 folder in the correct folder on your Windows system. I think there is perhaps a version installed in the other location.
Perhaps, check the other location as well. Make sure in both location the older version is deleted
PS you dont need to use CSXS 11 just by itself. You need to add CSXS 7 as well. that is what this addon uses
System extension folder
Win(x64): C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions, and C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions (since CEP 6.1)
Per-user extension folder
Win: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CEP/extensions
PS i know also why the folder name was wrong. When we use the zip from the webui, we need to open it and move only the com.sbaril.animdessin2 folder from the zip. Zie highlight in the screengrab below
This is how the folder hierarchy should look like in the extensions folder. Your image, shows that you install the main folder from the zip. I noticed that com.sbaril.animdessin2 is now a sub folder. But since you can still get a plugin to work. That means its also installed in a different location
Make sure you also download the test branch. But i think you already did that. THis is the correct branch; https://github.com/schroef/AnimDessin2/tree/custom-frame-length Then download the zip from there
This how you switch branches in the webui
I also found a small error in the manifest.xml file. At some point the extension didnt show for me neither. Should be fixed and it should show now
我还在清单.xml文件中发现了一个小错误。在某些时候,扩展也没有为我显示。应该修复,现在应该显示
Thanks for the reply~yep,i put folder in this path,it show up now.
Here's new trans of CN.Some recommendations and questions remain. zh_CN.zip
This effect and PS comes with the same effect of the new document, there is no need to specifically add this feature(maybe...
I'm still waiting for your final version of these two effects~
I don't quite understand the effect of this feature,I hope you can explain it to me, or better yet, attach a GIF demo?
Ive looked at some translations, some dont seem to correct when i translate them back. They describe something complete different. I think ive made a mistake somewhere with adding translations myself. Could perhaps compare it to the English version. But compare all lines if you are able to. Im sorry for that translation-files.zip
PS ive also found some more parts where i have not done all translation. For instance the "New Document Preset", this dialog has hard-coded translations. Could perhaps also do these? newDocPreset-translation.md Could you also check if these are correct. These are for the dialogs for the custom frame length and also the custom frame steps. custom frame step length translations.md
This effect and PS comes with the same effect of the new document, there is no need to specifically add this feature(maybe... New Document New timeline with custom-size and video group
Well i can add more frame length to the new document window. Im not going to make a new action. That new doc has no more shortcuts free i can use. Currently, you can set it to 1 and 2 frame length. I see if i can add 3,4,5 EDIT Okay, i've added more preset, so you can now choose between 1 - 6 in frame lengths. I doubt anyone uses higher than 6 as a default.
PS You can always make it with say 2 frames. Then select all layers and + to expand all the frame. See below what i did
I'm still waiting for your final version of these two effects~ Split layer into 1 frames and make video group Split layer into 2 frames and make video group
This already works, like i said earlier. You can only make cuts if the existing layer or frame is long enough. At its core, it needs 3 frames of length, photoshop also wont cut a frame length of 2. I think minimal frame length required is 3. See below 2 examples of splitting it into 2 frames and splitting it into 3 frames. I guess you want the custom frame length here perhaps Example; Split into 1 frames and group Example; Split into 2 frames and group
I don't quite understand the effect of this feature,I hope you can explain it to me, or better yet, attach a GIF demo? Set custom frame
If you want to move to the next frame but use custom frame step. This means instead of just jumping 1 frame, you can jump the number you set in the dialog. But it only works properly if all frames are the same length. This is because we also move to the selected layer or frame. So if we set it to 3 frames with 1 frame length it will jump to every 3rd frame. See below
But we can also do this with frames which are 2 or 3. So in this next example i will still jump to every 3rd frame but the frames are 3 frames long
This is handy because the user doesnt need to first set the play head and then select the frame. Photoshop default behavior is much more tedious. You need to first set the play head and then select the frame. Or you can select the frame and then use [UP] key to set the play head to that frame. But that only works if shortcuts are turned ON.
No ive updated the scrubber yesterday as well. Prior i could only set the play head, but ive added the code from the custom frame step. So now it will also select the correct frame when we use the scrubber. Note again, this only works properly if all frames are the same length. When one or more frames have a different length, it will not select the proper frame.
Thank you for your patience ~ I've basically finished updating the three files so you can check them out. zh_CN.zip custom.frame.step.length.translations.md newDocPreset-translation.md
I'll try the new feature effects in use, and I'll continue to give feedback in this post if I have any new questions~
Ive made some improvements. The scrubber now works also correctly in the external timeline panel. This was a bit hard since i need to talk between the 2 panels. It took me hours of research and testing, just to get something simple like this to work
Ive also added current frame to the indicator
Ill add those new translations as well

OK~Looking forward to your beta version
ive just uploaded the missing Chinese and French translations. Noticed one error, i didnt check all translations, but this one stood out.
It showed something like "create new document" , its said this in Chinese; 创建新文档
Actually it does the action below
TG_newDoc_1=New timeline with custom-size and video group
If all runs well, I'll merge this into the main branch

@Anxjoy
does everything work correctly and are translations okay. I'd like to merge it into main

I think it's ok now,U can check it~
@Anxjoy Do you happen to work on a Windows machine? If so can you try to use the new document preset and use custom settings and try to save it as a preset. On Mac this works perfect by using the extension folder. I just now noticed on windows it doesn't seem to have the correct access to write XML files to the folder.
I'm currently testing a new approach where the data is written to a folder in the ~/appdata/romaing/animdessin2/presets_json
Need to check what happens on owx if try that folder

yeah,i use Windows 11 now. Do i need to download the main version?Is that ok now?
Well it should work as normally. I just noticed this week, that my implemented "New Document + timeline" isnt able to save the presets properly on Windows.
Notice in the video im able to load and save presets. The loading works currently, because it comes with a couple presets. But on Windows im not able to save files into the preset_json folder. On OSX this works just fine. I locally have a test version where i save to the userData folder and that seems to work. I was just wondering if the save presets from the new document dialog works on your side. I need to check if this adjusted method also works on OSX, but the computer at work is now broken. Waiting for a new system, so i cant test OSX for now.
Also now when you create a new document it wont use the correct background and the framelenght is not correct. At least that was happening on my system on Windows.

Save-Load-preset-New-Document-Dialog-v222.mp4
It looks like it can be created successfully, but a warning box pops up
I wonder if you could add a feature like this onion skin in the future? The onion skin that comes with it is hard to use and not intuitive enough..
Here art 3 frames.when i open the onion skin,The first frame will be shown in purple, the third frame will be shown in green
It will show the before and after frames in comparison by means of a customised transparency
I think this feature could be a big job....

What does the dialog state? I used Google Translate on the image. It shows an error that the current function is not available. Its about "selecting" something. Did this error show when you created a new document with the timeline cut into frames?
onion skin that come
Sorry i can not do anything about that, that is internal code developed by Adobe Photoshop it self. PS did you add those colored boxes yourself, i dont have that or is that your design idea? You could make this a feature request on the official Adobe Photoshop channel.
PS why is the current not intuitive, because you alter it pretty well i think. Only feature not available is that what you state about different colors per frame. That "Feature" and "Past" color would be nice indeed
Edit Perhaps I could do something's jg about onionskinning withe before and after color. But it would not work when using shortcut arrow buttons. If we use the animdessin2 toolbar to go to the next or previous layer. I could use actionscript to add custom overlay on the next and previous layer. Perhaps I'm able to test this, I'll see what I can do
But are you able to save a preset from that new document dialog. It is at the bottom, i see you could use them. But saving doesnt seem to work properly. When you save a new version with a custom name, it should be selected automatically from that dropdown menu. So it should show in that menu. When i tried it here, it does not work. I dont seem to have write permissions in the extension folder. Thats why im trying a different approach, i still need to test this on OSX though
Can is ask what panel you are showing in this image? This is not the default UI in Timeline panel in Photoshop

yeah its here now, but still have the warning

It's CSP Paint. Maybe U can see this link ?Or you can search for similar keywords,like"CSP timeline'"CSP Animation"... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B31Js65_Big https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s88IcD2Q-8
I think the animation feature of this software is much better or can provide you with some inspiration~
Yeah i found out it was Cartoon Studio Pro by translating the images and using google. Looks very interesting.
I did some testing and got something raw working. There is one issue though. It keeps showing all the overlay colors ones move to previous or to next frame. Though the clean all button works fast, im not 100% sure about this.
It does look handy! im no animator, but ive seen this same thing on an addon ive worked a bit on for Blender. Here's my simple example with frames just showing numbers. The other issue is that the amount of before frames and other onionskin settings are stored separately by photoshop and i cant reach that data. So if a user want to use this, he/she would need to setup the default Photoshop onionskin settings and than possibly a new settings panel i would add.
It still needs more work, ive not made the settings dialog yet, i first wanted to see if it would work before in do work on that part. It also shows errors when im at the start and at the end. But i can get around those i guess.
One thing I noticed, it does slow the stepping to next and previous frame a bit down. But that depends on how many frames you want in onionskin mode. It's still 100x faster than doing it manually. Currently it only works using next and previous edit. But after checking the videos you linked from CSP. I'll try to get it to work with the timeline scrubber I made. Is this what you habe in mind?

OnionSkin-Before-After-Color.mp4
Basically.~ You're too good at executing. You're right, maybe you need to add another new onion skin settings panel, here's CSP's onion skin settings panel for reference Here you can change the number of frames displayed before and after, the transparency, and change the colours of the frames displayed before and after.
The issue is, that onionskin panel from photoshop and the data is not reachable by extendscript. I cant make a custom panel for that. There still needs to be 2 dialogs, one is Photoshop onionskin baked in settings and than the extra settings will be a different panel. I can not get around this. There are parts of Photoshop which are simply not exposed for script.
When I kept the before and after onionskin frame to just 1 frame. It was still pretty fast, almost the same as using the next and previous edit button
@Anxjoy
I made a new branch for this so you can test it. It is still hard-coded so it only works 1 frame before and 1 after and you cant adjust the colors. So it shows blue and red for before and after. I'll make a dialog for this later.
This version also have the fix for the new document dialog i was working on. I still dont know if this works on OSX

Ok~I'll go test it. As for changing colours this is not urgent yet, it's mainly a matter of setting up the new onion skin panel

new document is working,but still pop-up warning box. And,Does this new branch hasn't update ?i cant see the overlay colors now
Are you in the new branch. I think your still downloading from the main branch.
You need to switch branches at the top. There is a dropdown menu. I showed you earlier. Don't download the zip from the right neither.
See how you switch branches,
https://github.com/schroef/AnimDessin2/assets/6923008/78511620-4c16-41ea-a13a-055011e1297c
ive also made this version 2.2.3 So in the context menu > About AnimDessin2. You should see this, if you see a different number you still have a old version installed some where.
What version of Photoshop are you working with?
there most be some error in the code in that version
I use PScc 24.4.1 And there most be some error in the code in this 2.2.3 version,cause it's hard to follow, it may not have been perfected yet~
Could you explain what you mean by "it's harder to follow"?
Does this v2.2.3 still cause that dialog error when creating new document?
Does the onionskin before and after function work?
Can you translate that error dialog for me. If i let Google Translate do it. It says something like this "Use Adobe Photoshop only for Photoshop..." the last line does not get translated

Well it works as ive shown on earlier videos. You use either the global timeline scrubber but clicking somewhere or the next and previous edit button. It does not work in Photoshop native toolbar, i have no access to that and use that with the custom script
See below how to use it and how to show global timeline scrubber

Hello,love your work,but there are still some issues that need improvement(maybe
