Sort of long-time vector artist, new-time Synfig Artist.
I have a few questions about the program and layers/
Is there a way to make layers that only appear on certain keyframes and not all of them?
Also, is there a way to download a folder of layers and reupload it to another Synfig project?
Specifically, I want to take one group layer from one frame of art from one project, and upload it onto another project.
Are these possible features or something I would need to suggest?
(Also, is the Feature Discussion forum a good place to suggest features? )
Each layer has an amount parameter in the parameters panel which can be used to change the visibility over time using waypoints.
Synfig users have been craving for ages for a decent library system. Best thing you can do for now is open a file that contains the items that you want to reuse and copy and paste them in a new file.
I have a set of characters set up in different files. I use Synfig Stage to combine them into a new file - I set some up a new file this weekend. I had animated a bunch of characters and needed to add more characters into the shot so i added them in Synfig Stage to a new file which preserved the original animation
its available here for free here - I will upload some usage videos at some point
the software is written in Python so it should be cross platform - I use mainly linux at home. next week i can try running it on on a windows machine. I really need to put video together showing how I use it
