Weekly Report (September 13 - 19)

button

Good time of the day to all Synfig enthusiasts! Here’s what’s happening this week:

Code changes & improvements

  • Users asked us to have a simple way to add a new vertex point to Outline or Region. And now it is possible to create a new vertex on a Spline on double-click! (see PR #2312)
  • When the user imports the file the imported layer now becomes selected (#2308).
  • Fixed an issue with broken Halftone 2 layer (#2311).
  • Now it is possible to compile Synfig with version 7 of MLT+ when building with Autotools (#2306).

Usage cases

In this report we would like to feature a work by microvswind, who is sharing his animations made with Synfig in this forum thread. The cover image featured at the top of this post is also made by him.

Another notable usage case is coming from Morevna Project - recently they have published a draft preview (i.e. animatic) of upcoming Pepper&Carrot Motion Comic Episode, which is purely made in Synfig. The final work will also be made with Synfig.

And that’s all for today! Thanks to everyone who helps to make Synfig better!
