#tutorial Hours of work dissappearing? Whole layer gone? Watch this for the fix (at 2-3 times speed, depending on how fast you read). Technically it starts at the blue section, but there's not much intro, so you can play it all. This is my first animation/tutorial, so please be kind. FYI, no tracing, just a lot of undos and zooming in to use the edges of the bottom screen for straight lines. #rrtutorial
The Colors! Gallery moderators will look at it as soon as possible.

this has happend to me before and I was so P.O.d i deleted the whole thing! so THANK YOU for this :]

This works but a fair warning, Though I'm not sure. But If you exceed the 6 hours of replay time, if anything drawn after the limit has past then it is sadly unrecoverable. This is on the Faq on the official website, also said on the faq when the release the ''update'' this will be fixed! Thank you. : ]

i learned of this but only needed it once but forgot and thats why most my art is 2-d
12 Sep, 2012, 3:43 am
Thank you MyFaceYourFace for mentioning the 6 hour limit! I haven't reached it yet I guess.
12 Sep, 2012, 6:52 pm
Thanks Rogue Ranger for taking your time to make this for the benefit of everyone! You're my hero *hugs*

Thank you, midnightsleep! It was actually your painting that gave me the idea. Plus, I've been looking for a reason to try out something that uses the playback feature. So I guess Imshould be thanking you. :)

hey thank you for commenting on my owl picture i dident think it was that good so you gave me a boost :) also thanks for th gitch tip that has happened to me before and i was so angry hahaha
15 Sep, 2012, 11:01 am
Yeah, the 6 hour thing. :P And if your replay somehow messes up, it doesn't really work either. You would not believe how messed up playbacks can get. O.o Like on my Eevee pic. Man, there's no recovering that one.
15 Sep, 2012, 11:11 am
thats happend to me alot! Thank you SOOOO much!!:D
16 Sep, 2012, 3:57 am
Thank you, this has happened to me also. Btw, like this, and thank you for your nice comments. :)
16 Sep, 2012, 4:11 am
This has never happened to me but you know you can also watch the reply and stop it at the part you wish to continue then go to manage painting then press branch. It's in the tutorial
16 Sep, 2012, 2:13 pm
i dont get it
16 Sep, 2012, 4:48 pm
...or "branch" your painting
16 Sep, 2012, 6:28 pm
Congrats for week's best, I'm glad you got it:). A sweet artist like you deserves more recognition.
17 Sep, 2012, 2:32 am
OMG, THANK YOU. You are a total LIVE SAVER. THANK YOU. Now I can finally finish this painting I have been working on for hours.
17 Sep, 2012, 6:26 am
Very nicely done animation. :)
17 Sep, 2012, 10:39 pm
I found this out a while ago. but good job!
18 Sep, 2012, 12:18 am
True!
18 Sep, 2012, 3:06 am
Thank you! This ismy first animation, but maybe I'll try more after this encouragement.
19 Sep, 2012, 3:30 am
I thought everybody knew about this.
19 Sep, 2012, 5:14 am
felt like i was watching an infomercial
23 Sep, 2012, 9:17 pm
I have known that fix too, but there´s an disadvantage: if you have drawn more than 6 hours, the video reaches his maximum capacity. So if that glitch appears after 8 hours of working you can only repair it till 6 hours... best is to copy your painting from time to time, you´re safer with that
23 Sep, 2012, 9:27 pm
That happened 2 my twin b4...He was so "smad"(Mad and sad)So u told colors about wut happened and they fixed it?I'm only 10.Comment if they updated it and it happened 2 you.(To the creator of this)
02 Oct, 2012, 10:14 am
I find this ironic because this video won't play though all of this.... X'D
02 Oct, 2012, 9:39 pm
One pf my drawings has a glitch... it's the one that has a green dragon flying through a wave of lava... :3
14 Oct, 2012, 12:30 pm

19 Nov, 2012, 4:40 am
Wow! Glitches are EVERYWHERE on all websites! Like, YouTube, Bitstrips, and other stuff! But your art is very wonderful! *big thumbs up*
23 Nov, 2012, 9:04 pm

16 Jan, 2013, 1:41 pm
Hello. I was wondering if you could check my gallery because I had a strange glitch happen 3/4 of the way through the smash bros move set I was working on. I uploded it to my gallery as a precaution when I saw that the original had a glitched playback. If there's no way to fix it I can deal with the glitch but it's not preferable.
27 Jan, 2013, 11:00 am
Helpful, but also never seen it happen. Also, there is the 6-hour limit.
19 Feb, 2013, 3:06 am
thank you :D
19 Feb, 2013, 9:15 pm

24 Feb, 2013, 1:28 am

24 Feb, 2013, 6:10 pm
Oh yes, this happened to me once. I overcame the problem by watching the painting sequence until my stuff appeared, then hit copy painting OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT asdfghjkl
20 Mar, 2013, 3:09 am
(clap)
22 Mar, 2013, 4:10 pm

25 Mar, 2013, 12:26 am
OMG THANK YOU!!!! YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! This happened on my painting called Luna's Search Party. I blink, and two dogs just miraculously disappeared. My two best ones, in fact... I was at the point of tears, when my brother comptonbroz told me about the glitch, and about the tutorial. I uploaded it as a test after I fixed it, and it worked! I was so happy! THANK YOU ROGUE RANGER!!!!!!1!!1!
30 Mar, 2013, 2:59 am
so basicly u branch the painting before it dissapears?
05 Apr, 2013, 9:21 pm
I wish I had known this earlier, my pikach painting looks different after you watch the video...
06 Apr, 2013, 8:38 am

I love all of your awesome videos filled with tips:]
16 Apr, 2013, 2:55 am
..........why is there a naked guy for an example. A landscape would do, but now this is weird.
30 Apr, 2013, 10:28 am
This sometimes happened to my paintings. After I watched this tutorial I could fix them!
01 May, 2013, 10:21 am
That happened to me on my first painting, I don't how but I managed to fix my Super Sonic pic before I watched your video
02 May, 2013, 12:25 am
Now that the Colors! 3D update is out, the update may have fixed the glitch.
07 May, 2013, 3:16 pm
....or just make 2 copies of your picture and if one of them 'glitches' then u still have the other!
07 May, 2013, 3:16 pm
.......well that's just what I do, anyway,............
16 May, 2013, 2:11 pm
This is very useful. This never happened to me (even if I´ve already made twelve pics but I didn´t upload all). But this is helpful in case it happens. :)
27 May, 2013, 3:48 am

01 Jun, 2013, 10:30 am
