I am new to Synfig, and just learning, but have been running into a bizillion weird animation issues.
The following typifies the type of problem I always seem to be having.
In the example below, I have no keyframes. I started with a single start object, which had 3 waypoints (I think they were at 0s, 2s and 4s).
I did a “duplicate layer” on the star - which means now I have two identical ones. I tweaked the position of the last waypoint (4s) mark, so that they are at different positions.
I’d expect to see one start at T=0, through T=2, and at T=2 have them “split” into two stars - each arriving at it’s own position by T=4s.
However, I am seeing the starts aligned at T=0s, and at T=2s - however in between these two points, they are at different positions. This is both indicated visually (by seeing the two starts, very close to each other) - and by comparing the two “origin” values of each.
So my questions are:
-
Why would these two starts be at different positions between the waypoints - if both waypoints are identical?
-
How can I fix this?
-
How did this happen - I duplicated an object and changed one (unrelated waypoint, at T=4s)? It should have had no effect on stuff at these two waypoints.
I am using Synfig Studio 0.62.02.
Thank you!
