This week I hoped/wished/begged for one thing between me and the Synfig gods: Just a win. One win. One week to go by and be like “Okay I feel like I’m starting to understand this software”
Well a day of wins it has been! TWO WINS!
This mouth was build using the Joystick Controllers! 
It would obviously need a lot of work on my end before it were “production ready” and in future I’ll try to be more conscious of where the 5 mouth shapes should sit on the controller.
And I also managed to make a multi-frame switch controller for various assets a couple days ago!
Thank you to everyone who’s helped me along this journey so far
