[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (4 children) Your animations are very cool ! How do you make them ? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world [S] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children) Thanks! I first have the animation idea brew in my head for about 2 weeks, so I know exactly what scenes there will be. Then it's just a combination of Inkscape, Synfig Studio and Kdenlive. For each scene, I first create a static version (i.e. vector art) on Inkscape. Then I import it into Synfig Studio for making vector animation. Finally I put all the snippets together and add sound in Kdenlive. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 point 1 year ago (2 children) Thank you ! Synfig looks very complicated with few resources. Do you know any that are worth watching/ reading ? Keep up the good work ! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world [S] 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) I never read any tutorials on how to use it so I can't recommend any :/ Since I am mostly importing SVG into the program, I don't actually need to deal with creating any layers in Synfig. Here are the basics: Drag the play head to a frame where you want things to change Turn on animation mode (main canvas bottom right) Set the interpolation (next to animation mode button). Ease is often a good one Select a layer to edit (you can select multiple) Drag the nodes around to move them Congrats! You just animated those node from frame 0 to wherever your play head is on! Do keep in mind about some bugs while important Inkscape SVGs: If you copied some objects from 1 Inkscape file to another, your gradients are likely broken Clipping doesn't work out of the box. Duplicate the lower layer, group it with the higher layer, set the higher layer's composite method to "Straight Onto" There are a lot more small problems above those. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 0 points 1 year ago Thanks ! permalink fedilink source parent
