Hey, I guess this is kinda an old post but I am really confused by some of this stuff and I think it might be nice if some one could answer some questions for me.
First of all I’m 14 and have had some experience with Blender when I was like 10 and learnt most of the basic keyboard shortcuts and how keyframes work. then when I turned 13 I decided I wanted to animate for YouTube and got myself Krita. I did a few animations in krita, but got disappointed when I found out you cant just move something in two frames and have the program interpolate (I think that’s the right word😅) making animations blocky most of the animations super hard cause I had to guess how much the object moves each frame. But now it seems Synfig lacks being able to animate frame by frame, and I know you can set the interpolation to ‘Constant’ but its still kind of hard to draw something without making a huge amount of layers which is okay if it automatically put them into groups. If you wanna get an idea for the type of animation style I’m going for here’s two youtube channels:

Hello everyone, I’ve been here before but got really sick and haven’t done anything with Synfig for about a year. So I’m going to have to start all over again just to remember and then go on and make that special video for my husband. He actually got over 250 subscriptions on his YouTube Channel so I’m a bit late. You all are wonderful and I know you will help me when and if I get stuck.
Let me introduce myself. I’m new to this forum, but I’ve been familiar with Synfig Studio and Morevna project once.
About ten years ago, intrigued by the potential of Synfig, I contacted K.D. (the project leader) via email. In English, not in Russian, of course !
Then, I translated parts of the online course at those years with my voice, into Italian, but I don’t guess it was very successful in Italy, I’m afraid.

Only the first module has been published on Youtube, with few comments.
And some of these were a bit disappointed, due to the absence of the rest of the course.
After these years, I am happy to see that Synfig is alive and kicking, growing well and receiving good reviews, even if some issues remain:
- stability
- improved interface
- bugs
- steep learning curve
- incomplete documentation, with obsolete parts still online somewhere.
- short promotional videos on line, in order to invite new users to install and try the program, but sometimes unattractive or even with poor graphics.
I would like to collaborate on the project again, for what I can do.
My notebook is ASUS-A55DR - MS Windows 11
AMD A8-4500M APU with Radeon™ HD Graphics 1.90 GHz - RAM 8.00 Gb
I’m not a professional software developer, but I have a little more free time on my hands than I did ten years ago.
A special greeting to the whole team
