Synfig Project Forum

Won't the noise layer jitter when rendered? So the draft pencil is designed for quick sketching. Does it work for frame by frame timed sketching. That makes sense. I do wish it was saved internally. Is the draft pencil raster or vector? That would be nice if my understanding of the tool is correct since I wouldn't have to use another app for roughing.

If the 'Animation Speed' parameter is 0.0 it will stay stationery. Try to give something bigger than 0.0 to see it in action.
No it doesn't
It is only saved externally.
Vector
-G

Synfig saves me so much time in other ways that this is only a small problem. However it is good to know that setting the Amount to 0 is best in terms of rendering performance. Perhaps this would be a good to add to the FAQ.

Setting the Amount to a Switch is a good tip as well - I'll do that in future.

Many thanks for your help again Genete!

I guess what you want it similar to this: http://slowmovideo.granjow.net/index.html. Potentially it could have a great effect, but the images still aren't vectorised, which is what you want for animation.
