Hello, is floating license server an option for this plugin, or standalone only?

Hahaa, sorry Laurence it's me again I've been searching the board and couldn't find the answer: I have a reveal of a shape then almost bends in on itself so, to avoid revealing any later edges of the shape, I paint slowly. But then my animation really slows down at that point- even though I have "Constant" checked in the Paint panel. Is there any way to make the speed of the reveal constant even in the tricky corners? Thanks!!

Hi Jenny!

No worries. If you have been taking your time and drawing detailed line-work I would recommend using the "Measured" keyframing process. You can set a start and end time then Quickdraw will animate all of the lines between the two timecodes at the same pace. 

You can also combine this with "selected only" and animated selected brush strokes (easiest selected from the layer view panel but also possible from the timeline panel) – this can help break up the timing of your reveal across the image.

Alternatively, if the section is much slower because of the extra detail, selecting those strokes and applying an increased "Constant" speed could the the answer. You will probably then have to use the resequence function to close the gap to the the keyframes that come after this section, or you can drag those keyframes in the timeline.

I hope this helps.
