It opens .stk, but will it ever be supported to open .piv? What are the projects. Most of the characters that I use on the internet are inside a .piv and are “embedded pieces”. They use the Pivot join function. Since the pivot has no sounds and no camera, it would be nice if Synfig opened .piv

Pivot Animator doesn’t share publicly its file format .PIV and it isn’t an open source software so we can take a look at its source code to discover it.

So it isn’t probably to offer such support. 😕
