I’ve already discussed some of the features of this plugin but now Synfig has proper support for importers (see New scripting capabilities) so I can properly announce it as a plugin.
It adds importers and exporters for the following formats:
SVG: Works much better than the built-in SVG importer
Hello @Glax I’m new with Synfig. I’m looking for a software alternative for AFX that I could use to create subtitles for karaoke using the ASS format (Substation Alpha).
I’ve found that there’s a script used for exporting ASS subtitle draw instructions into Aegisub. (HardSub)
I’ve also found this library written in Python3 to create Karaoke animations. (Softsubs)
I’ve found svg2ass too, but I think that just works with static svg.
My question is, would you think it could be possible to export an animation from Synfig to ASS code using your python-lottie plugin?
Hi thanks for your plug-in it’s very nice
But I had a problem converting svgs to sif (iam using the stand alone version)
Some layers and outlines randomly are converted to dark layers here is a example data.zip (105.4 KB)
Hi, when I try to export to svg it says “Plugin execution failed: Failed to execute helper program (Invalid argument)”
I’m using the 1.5.1 development version of synfig on windows 10. My project has a mixture of vector and raster layers.
Thanks, I was able to run the plugin with the last build. One note for anyone else using this to export to svg, it crashed and didn’t export if the scene had any groups or spline vertices that were linked to bones of a skeleton. Weirdly, synfig doesn’t seem to remove the bone links if you delete the skeleton. I had to manually convert each vertex to Composite to get it to export. There might be a faster way to do that, idk. Either way, thanks @Glax for the plugin
This seemed very helpful for my project but it doesn’t play nice at all with bones. Linking groups to bones warps them and doesn’t animate at all, and linking points to bones throws “ValueError: No point in bone_link”
Your Synfig plugin only exports to.tsg, right?
why does it not exports to other formats such as Lottie or SVG? is there any limitation in Synfig or it is just that you didn’t extend the Synfig plugin to accept other formats?
If it is possible, please, could you tell me how?
FYI, now Synfig plug-ins can have a dialog when running to retrieve information, it would be a great use of this feature to have a simple dialog to ask for the format you want to export your .sif animation
Follow here for more information and here for my plug-in with dialog (take it as a working example)
