I don't see drawing keyframes, is that because I'm on blender 4.2?

    Hey Ford,

    What do you mean exactly? 

    I don't think there is a huge difference in Grease Penciil between 4.0 (video Version) and 4.2.

    Perhaps you mean that feature that you hit play and move your mouse and keyframes get added automatically and records your mouse movements?

    HI Fprd,

    First of all, you are using 4.2.0. 4.2 is an LTS and the lates revision is 4.2.12. I highly recommend you update that (although that probably won't fix this issue).

    Speaking of updating, try updating your GPU driver. That might help.

    I'm not sure how you managed to do this, but the Grease Pencil object(Stroke) is active, but isn't selected. Click on the Stroke object in the outliner(It should highlight with blue) and then you should see the keyframe. If you don't then you may have filtering in dopesheet. With mouse cursor over timeline editor press Shift+F12 or change the editor type from timeline to dopesheet in first icon on the header. Click on the funnel icon and make sure that grease pencil is turned on(Blue).

    Hi Ford,

    Thanks Dwayne dillenbata3  ,

    Here's what I think has happened:.

    There are some default Settings, that made this weird situation possible, the one I would recommend to turn off immediately and leave turned off forever, is the Edit > Lock Object Modes.; I don't knwo of any advantages, only disadvantages, of leaving that on. Because of that Setting, you were able to Deselect the GP Stroke, by Selecting the Camera and because of the Only Show Selected Button, you couldn't see the Keyframe anymore. And you couldn't Draw anymore either.

    Martin Bergwerf it claims "to prevent accidental mode switches when selecting" but I turned it off! Thanks for the advice! Every little thing helps!
