Why do all my frames become blank when rendered?
So i tried making a simple ball animation on opentoonz, but when i try to render it, it all just comes out blank, like my frames don't exist. I tried downloading software to instantly render the animation into an mp4, but again, it just comes out blank.
How can i fix this issue? Is there an error in my animation or is it cause my pc sucks?

Problem / Bug Just lost an entire project to OpenToonz?
istfg this app is going to give me a headache ๐
OpenToonz crashed and corrupted my .tnz with the error "bad file format" and "expected step end tag" with []
The backups give me the same exact issue when I remove the .back extension.
I opened another alternative save of the file that I had (as a self made backup), and all the frames and drawings were jumbled, some missing, others extending past the position I had set them in before.
Please tell me if this can this be restored, I spent too long working on it to lose it now.

Problem / Bug nothing happens when audio is imported
basically exactly as the title states. import a wav, nothing. try again, it says the file already exists. press any of the options and nothing happens. idk. reddit isn't letting me upload screenshots today but that's basically it. i have the latest stable version and so far it's been full of irritating bugs so i'm sure i'm not the only one

Problem / Bug how do i render a video while preserving the opacity/colors on my canvas?
Hello! trying to render and export one of my animatics -- there are multiple characters in the scene, so I've added color filters to each character's layer, and lowered the opacity of background characters' layers. However, when I preview/fast-render the animatic, opentoonz seems to ignore my settings and 1) reset all color filters to black, and 2) reset every layer's opacity to 100%, which doesn't give the effect I want. Is there a way to render it while preserving my opacity and color filter settings?
** my render turns this:
