Painter Recording Process

[Lee^-]

Hi

I've once seen a video showing the process of a particular drawing done in painter...

Is it possible to record your own process through painter itself? for later review

thanks

Lee-in Painter, recording a video is called a Script. No sound, but it will record every brush and move in Painter.

Scripts are not movies. Go to the Windows menu, then click on Scripts.

Also, go to the Help menu and search for "Scripts" for further details.

Camtasia is NOT free, it costs $299:

You may be thinking of Cam Studio, which is free.

I'm sure someone can make a whole training video on how to create and use scripts in Painter. It seems to even come off as a mystery to the creators XD

It's just I've never seen a really good explanation on it, and why do things "go wrong" etc...

On the subject of scripts, does anyone know how to turn them off? They never work anyway and I rarely have cause to use them, so I'd rather switch them off rather than wasting CPU and generating unwanted files that fragment my disk.

In Preferences -> General (where you set the brush ghosting options) there is a Spot for "Auto Save Scripts" try setting the number to 0. I think it's default at 1 day.

Thanks Arshes, but I tried that and it replied helpfully "Number out of range". I've tried looking in Script > Options too but there's nothing there.

I actually tried that earlier before you posted this and I got "that is outside the number range" or something to that effect.
