Yes I realise that but was having trouble finding the exact location of the .tif files.
there are a lot with many duplications so just asked which ones I need to change.

Alan has changed some tif's which do show when using Rotopen, I tried yet roto pen still used the default image, clearly I am doing something wrong.

Trevor, I am away from my computer at the moment, but if you didn't find the location there is a folder called clipart from what I remember, with a folder for still images and one for animation.
proDAD have said the TIF files for the animations must contain an Alpha channel. As I downloaded my GIff animation, I'm not sure the TIF slides had Alpha channel. I've read that Gimp can add an Alpha channel, so I will check if my TIF files have one when I get back to my computer.

Thanks Alan
Yes its an Alpha issue, I have been able to add my .tif file which plays with transparent background, but cannot replace an animation, so must be using the wrong clipart folder.
You are opposite, knowing the folder but not having the alpha files.
I think PSP can do Alpha tif but may have been Photoshop, has been a while since I Rotopen files.

I added an Alpha channel to the Tiff files, unfortunately I made a mess of one of the files as you will see in linked video below. I used Gimp to add the Alpha layer, but took me a while to sort out. But it works :D

believe me when I say I have tried replacing the programs .tif images with my own unfortunately nothing changes when using Rotopen
All I can assume is that I am replacing the wrong files
So which files did you replace?

Post updated
OK I have found the correct folder and replacing the files does work although so far cannot update the rotopen image although the effect is updated.
I used fahrrad-01 as a test as only has 4 images.

It would be much easier if the program allowed us to add our own sequences, instead we have to replace files.
