Hi!

I've started to go through the tutorials on the Synfig site and started at the very beginning (yes, that's the stuff that's totally logical and can be done without knowing how a computer works :lol: ) and so I've made the 'moving red circle'. The render looks like this:

Referring to the moon-shaped things when the circle moves to the right side: how come they are there and can anything be done about it? Because I wouldn't like it if every animation I'm going to make is going to have similar things.

Thanks,

Devilly

Read this thread.
I've not tested it properly because I cannot install the magick++ libraries due to that my system is too out of date.
I think It would solve your problem.

Thank you, Genete! I guess you're right in that using that other renderer would solve the problem. The problem is that I've tried doing some things like that before (trying to compile C-code with the use of the Windows 'Command Prompt'), but it never worked. I guess I'm doomed with this one... I don't know why, but I can't seem to get anything working in this way. Probably, I just don't use the command lines in a proper way.

Well, thanks again!

(PS: would it be too much to ask you how I can get this working?)

Not sure understand your question. If following the command line from the thread I gave you doesn't work the problem is that you don't have installed the proper magick++ libraries. Try to install them by
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install libmagick++9-dev

I have them but an old version that doesn't support that optimization.

genete - I think devilly is a windows user. imagemagick++ support isn't compiled into the windows builds.

sudo definitely doesn't work under windows!

Yes, I am. :D (That could as well be a :(.) Well, for now I'll have to do with what I have.

Devilly,

If your computer has plenty of disc space, one option would be to install Ubuntu alongside your Windows so that you have a dual boot set-up. That way, you could boot into Ubuntu when you wanted to use Synfig (and other things like, maybe, Cinelerra).

Just a thought.

If you're interested, the Ubuntu site and/or the Ubuntu forum have directions on how to set up a dual boot system.

Matt

Devilly, I just got OpenEXR 1.6 compiled under Windows. Compiling in imagemagick++ support is next on the list.

Wish me luck!
Chris

@ Matt: I'll take a look at it, but I don't think I'll do anything with it. As I know myself I could easily make my whole laptop useless in one way or another. Still I want to thank you for the advice!

@ pixelgeek: I wish you luck! Oh yeah, I also want to thank you that you are doing this kind of stuff for Synfig.
