Toon Boom Harmony Tutorial #16 - Shift and Trace

UPDATE 12/21/18: Harmony 16 added the ability to work with Shift and Trace in the Camera View which is super handy! I use it all the time! However, this video goes over how to work in Harmony's now-legacy Shift and Trace in the Drawing View. You can read up on how to use the Shift and Trace Toolbar in H16 here: https://docs.toonboom.com/help/harmony-16/premium/reference/toolbar/top/shift-and-trace-toolbar.html You can also see a handy video of me talking about it on Toon Boom's portal here: https://learn.toonboom.com/modules/paperless-improvements1/topic/activity-using-shift-and-trace-in-the-camera-view In my opinion the legacy S&T still has some advantages as it allows us to temporarily isolate particular drawings and compare them to each other regardless of where they exit in the Timeline/X-Sheet. This week we talk about Shift and Trace. It is mainly used in traditional animation to help an animator keep a character's proportions in check.
