I love this program and highly recommend for anyone who has a potato pc.
You can make advance-looking animations from it too. The people on Discord are nice as well and will help with any beginner questions you might have.
Nice program. Would there be a future option to have the audio save with a specific file? When I open a previous project it may use the audio that I've loaded for my current project, and I have to re-add the audio and stuff. Also, could you allow us to see the audio duration in seconds/minutes instead of frames? Frames doesn't really help gauge a sense of time.
You can save the audio configuration!
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll add it when I can.
Thank you. I also have another query. When you start a new protect and import your initial media, the centroid never lies on my imported media, rather it defaults to the top left corner of the canvas. Will this be a thing that will soon be patched?
I’ll check it out
Thanks!
Hey again, sorry for bothering so many times. Is there a discord server where I can interact with any devs or others who also use this application? I wanted to ask about the image feature placing the new image in a completely different area from the original layer and its messing with my animation flow. Thanks.
Hi!! I cant seem to find a way to add audio, is there any tutorial how to ?
What version are you using?
1.7 !!
There is a button on the timeline with an audio icon, it’s below the play/pause button
Oh thank you!!
The liquify tool overrides all the other animation how do i avoid this?
FFD does not overwrite animations though, please send me the project and tell me what version of AnimeEffects you are using.
My sincere apologies for the 2 month late reply. I forgot I had typed about this. It does seem to work now. (Using 1.7 ver) Before when i would use ffd on an element that already have a move key it would mess up the work the move key did. Now it's resolved I tested it. I also had another issues with the image thing. When i put a new image it wouldn't adopt the existing keyframes. I tested it just now and it seems to work. Thanks tho! (Edit: It doesn't adopt FFD)
when I import an audio into a project it stutters and gets choppy and I don’t know how to fix it. I’ve changed the frame rates in preferences and in the audio settings. I’ve also tried making the audio mp3, WAV, and mp4. I made sure playback was on too. Still to no avail my audio was either completely quiet or choppy/stuttering throughout. Can I please have help with this?
I have fixed the issue, pending release in v1.6.2
Great program!! Thanks for the linux support too!! :D
YAY!!!!
goated with the sauce
