You're a beginner??? You sound like a rocket scientist to me with your knowledge of Synfig! I would love to be able to make animation like you have at the beginning of this video. I'm going to download Synfig and see if I can get something going. I Liked, Subscribed, and turned on Notifications (that's a hint for you to make more videos - ha ha!). Thank you for sharing!

Really great intro tutorial, Jess. Having had intermittent experience with other vector/bitmap drawing/animation tools over the years, I knew what I wanted to do, but wasn't familiar with the workflow in Synfig. You gave me enough to know where to start, and what I need to learn more about. Thanks!

@mongothemaniac5848 Ай бұрын

I am an avid Animate user but really want to get away from using it for new projects... the hardest step when all your assets are made in one program and that program happens to be what you use for everything is that finding then learning a new program is a really rough journey if you have little time to set aside. Synfig looks most appealing along with Krita which both have Linux support so I can gradually steer away from relying windows. This tutorial really helped me because the timeline is not very intuitive with Synfig to me compared to Animate where you can just start drawing frame after frame and it all starts to make sense! XD

Just keep watching every time you make a little bit of progress - it keeps you from getting frustrated as much when something you don't want happens, AND your brain will probably make a little happy juice to keep you going when you see your art slowly coming to life. Also start small, like with a 10 second video (like everything on my channel) For reference, the 3D videos took 3 days just to render(ALWAYS do frame by frame .jpg export in 3D) and each flash animation took at least a week (4h per day, 5d per week)

@turtlearmyjess6147 3 жыл бұрын

At 3:15 I am discussing how to display handles on shapes, which allows you to manipulate shapes after you've already drawn them. First make a shape with either a shape tool or the draw tool, then make sure you click on that shape to have it selected. After you click on the shape you should see some small circles show up. The program calls these small circles "handles". You can use the bar at the top of the page to choose which handles to display. If you hover your mouse over the toolbar in Synfig, it should bring up a little black text box that tells you what kind of handles it turns on and off. Hope that helps. To start the draw tool, you have to left click and hold your mouse on the canvas, after you've finished drawing your shape, let go of the mouse button and it should stop drawing. If you're talking about the spline tool, that is harder to turn off. When you're done using the spline tool, you have to click on the spline tool again in your toolbar.

I’ve been using Krita to do my animations for the past couple of years, and I’m very new at animating and have thought of switching to a new program when I get my new laptop in the spring. Right now it takes me SO LONG to make a five minute long animation because I’m having to do everything (like face chances, arm positions, etc) all manually. But when I saw you draw that first bubble then the end one, and Synfig did the in between animation of it getting bigger, my jaw literally hit the floor. Using this software would save me SO much time and I would be able to get my videos done so much faster! Thank you for showing this! Also I loved that you had highlight boxes and arrows pointing to all the buttons - that was such a big help!
