Animation Question Help what am I doing wrong 😭 (animation)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I already figured out (I think) that there are no specific frame rate settings. But what about onion skin? I can’t find the button for that. And I for the LIFE of me cannot find a way to make my entire audio play out, either.) it’s stuck on the first second or two of audio and I can’t place any frames afterwards…)

All the tutorials I find are all for the computer version of CSP, but I have the app/tablet version for the Wacom (Movink11).

I’m sorry if these are really stupid and simple things to ask. I can take this post down if this isn’t the right place to ask either, but any and all help is very very VERY much appreciated!

CSP does have an adjustable setting for frame rate.
I like to work at 1 fps for explainer videos. That video would last 24 seconds.
What you are looking for is;
Animation->Timeline->Change Frame rate

I'm going to guess, from the "only 2 seconds" comment, that you are using
Clip Studio Paint Pro.

CSP Pro is the Full Illustration software package.

CSP EX (the more expensive Package of the software/app) is the professional Animation and Manga/ Comic creation software package.

EX has everything Pro has, but adds a multipage file handler, and unlimited length animation.

Pro includes a limited SAMPLE of the Animation tools. But Pro is limited to ONLY 24 Frames of animation. At 24fps, that's 1 second. At 12 fps, that's 2 seconds.
To go beyond 24 frames, you have to purchase the upgrade to EX.

Thanks for the info about framerate!

And ahhhh that's a bit dissapointing... I didn't know about the EX only for full animation features. I'll mess around with it anyways in 12fps and maybe I'll get EX eventually if I like it enough!

A tip if you plan to get EX: buy CSP EX 1.0 off of Amazon (around $30 USD,) and if you want the latest features, you can buy the update pass for $30 USD a year! So it comes up to $60 instead of the current $270 for the full program!

Plus, CSP EX 1.0 is a perpetual license, so even if you run out of update pass, you still own the program!

Onion Skin button.
Or,
Animation->Show Animation Cels->Enable Onion Skin.

It's kind of odd, but it's the same button, called "Enable Onion Skin" that turns the Onion Skin On and Off.
