![]() If you can't find any gaps then the best solution seems to be to break the area up into smaller fill areas using the 'invisible line' tool. I've found that larger areas are likely to trigger this warning. ![]() It's frustrating because often there are no obvious gaps - even if you zoom right in to check. This is a known problem that is documented within Pencil's manual. ![]() If you haven't properly closed an area you'll keep getting a warning message telling you there's a gap in your drawing or you've 'Zoomed Out too much'. Specifically with the vector 'area fill' tool. Once you get into vector animation the frustration starts to set in. If that's all you need to do I highly recommend this software - its free - so give it a try. On top of that you could choose to edit all your frames in any bitmap editing software you choose then just import them into Pencil, add some sounds, export to a movie file and you're done. I suspect as a tool for creating animations, using bitmap images, Pencil is ideal. However, the Windows version of Pencil is extremely buggy making it frustrating to use and sometimes down right impossible (forced software closures, lost work etc.). It will also export files as Flash/Shockwave movies (which is my interest in using it). In fact you can create an entire animation within Pencil, including audio tracks, and then export it all to a single movie file that you can upload anywhere. Clearly set out, easy enough to learn, versatile. ![]() Pencil is a 2D bitmap and vector based, free animation tool for MACs, Windows and Linux that I'd like to say is the perfect introduction to 2D, computer assisted animation but can't.
