Grease Pencil strokes from movie clip editor not showing in 3D view Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I drew on top of a movie clip in the movie clip editor with the grease pencil. I have all those frames looking the way I want, but recently found out that I cannot render them that way, as it is only an in-memory representation of the strokes. 

So, I went to the 3D view, put the grease pencil layers in my scene, and used the movie clip as a background image. My strokes don't show up there, even though I can draw new strokes that show up.

Is there a way to see the strokes I've made and to render them out?

movie clip editor:


3D view:
I figured out a workaround! So what I ended up doing was to write a small script to change all the 2D strokes I made to 3D strokes:

gp = bpy.context.scene.grease_pencil
for l in gp.layers:
    for f in l.frames:
        for s in f.strokes:
            s.draw_mode='3DSPACE'


For some reason which I do not know, the 3D strokes were the correct orientation when I viewed them from the top orthographic view. Then I scaled and moved my background image to be behind the strokes the same way I had it before.
