00:01 < genete> hey! hello everyone! 
00:02 < genete> ultagod: your answer here: http://synfig.sourceforge.net/wiki/Keyframe
00:08 < ultagod> thanks
00:08 < ultagod> I don't see how to lock everything into a keyframe though
00:08 < genete> are you in animate mode?
00:09 < ultagod> I can be
00:09 < genete> add a keyframe, switch to animate mode, place the time cursor in other frame and modify a parameter of a layer. See the effect over the keyframe
00:10 < genete> in the bottom right corner of the canvas window, do you see a red button or a green button?
00:11 < genete> if red, you're in animate mode; if green you're in NON animate mode
00:11 < ultagod> yeah i see it
00:12 < genete> ultagod: are you 'anon' in the forum?
00:12 < ultagod> yeah, just delete that
00:12 < ultagod> thank you
00:12 < genete> ok, I'll paste this conversation there if you don't mind...
00:12 < ultagod> not at all
00:13 < ultagod> oh ok, I think I was moving points without creating a keyframe
00:13 < ultagod> I thought synfig would create them as I moved things
00:13 < ultagod> but it doesn't unless you change the time, is that correct?
00:13 < genete> I think you should do the basic tutorial firts
00:13 < genete> first*
00:14 < ultagod> I did, but i think they filled in since then
00:14 < genete> then you should know how is the normal workflow of animation in Synfig. Did you really do the "Night Rider" animation tutorial?=
00:15 < genete> http://synfig.sourceforge.net/wiki/Doc:Animation_Basics
00:16 < ultagod> yeah, but I was modifying points
00:16 < genete> Previously, three 'steps' or 'stages' were mentioned. These are represented by so-called 'keyframes' (Just in case you're familiar with video encoding: No, that's not the same!). A keyframe is an image in time where something important happens with your objects. Click the keyframe tab -- this is the one with the small key in the 'Params, etc.' window -- to be able to edit keyframes. Now click the small 'plus' sign and you should get a new en
00:16 < genete> No, it was using keyframes!
00:19 < genete> points are called 'ducks' in Synfig and are small circles in the canvas that represents some parameters of the layers.
00:19 < genete> a parameter can be constant or animated
00:19 < ultagod> If I make new keyframes, then move a duck on a nonkeyframe, it does not show a "v" on the timeline at that point
00:19 < ultagod> *in time
00:20 < genete> if animated it has waypoints in the timeline (http://synfig.sourceforge.net/wiki/Waypoint)
00:20 < genete> what you call 'v'  are keyframe marks in the time bar.
00:21 < genete> But there is a Time Track panel
00:21 < genete> http://synfig.sourceforge.net/wiki/Quick_Overview
00:23 < genete> current gui might differ a bit from that screenshots but they still being useful
00:23 < ultagod> how do you see which waypoint is associated with which duck?
00:24 < genete> in the link I posted you can see how the waypoints are aligned with the layers parameters.
00:24 < genete> some layer parameters are represented by ducks
00:25 < genete> basically ducks are for:
00:25 < genete> origin, vertexes, tangents, widths, radius and angles
00:26 < genete> other layers have other associated ducks and you can see what do they affect by modifying them
00:31 < ultagod> ok, so this is way more complicated than flash
00:33 < ultagod> is there a pdf with all of the documentation for this version somewhere?
00:34 < ultagod> or a ps
00:36 < genete> There isn't. The documentation is all on line. You can create your own local copy of the wiki using ScrapBook FireFox pluging.
00:36 < ultagod> oh
