Bug ID: 417481
Summary: Animated vs flat layers, and ways to merge them
Product: krita
Version: 4.2.8
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Animation
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: linadid...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
When working with a frame in an animated layer, I often want to create more
layers, draw on them, and then merge them together into that one frame.
Currently, this is really time-consuming, and difficult to get right. Here's an
idea on how to make it easier:
Part 1: Distinguish "flat" layers and animated layers
There is already a difference here: animated layers have the
onionskin-lightbulb icon, while flat layers do not. All that's needed is ways
to convert between them:
* Creating a keyframe on a flat layer turns this into an animated layer
already. This is good, but if you have drawn on the layer, and "Create Blank
Frame" on frame 0, the art disappears. The art should stay.
* "Flatten Layer" works well for converting to flat layer.
Part 2: Merging rules
When merging (ctrl+e):
* Two flat layers: merge as usual
* Two animated layers: merge frame-by-frame, as usual
* One flat layer and one animated layer: merge only into the current frame on
the animated layer.
This shouldn't break anything, as if you want the old merging behavior back,
you can convert the flat layer to animated before you merge.
(Background: I've created a few animations in krita)
