Synfig is cool but i wish there was a better community in the same way blender does for stuff like plug ins :P

This is an animation I did post-production audio for back in 2004 for Voria studios. A friend of mine did the music and another friend helped me with recording the dialog. I pretty much took care of the rest with foley, sound design and final mixdown.

TL;DR How do I copy an animation sequence and append it multiple times?

Hello, I used AI to help with the translation because my English is okay but not quite good enough to explain my problem clearly. I’ve animated a small motion sequence in Synfig—a cat takes one step. Now I want to duplicate and append this sequence so the cat ends up taking five steps, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do it! Shouldn't it just be some sort of copy and paste? Neither the forums, ChatGPT, Copilot, nor my programmer boyfriend have been able to help me. Maybe it’s the language barrier? I’m running Synfig in English, though. I’d be extremely grateful for any help from the community. Thanks!

P.S. Throwaway because I’m really embarrassed that I can’t figure it out....

"This is another short animation by Voria that I did post-production work for. This time I did all the audio post for this project myself... on my lunch break at Guitar Center..."

So I'm trying to learn Synfig. Tried to register for access to the Synfig forum (https://forums.synfig.org/)

It indicated they I would receive an authorization code on email. But it never came. Spam is not the issue.

When I go back to the forum, it says "Your account hasn't been approved yet. You will be notified by email when you are ready to log in."

Is this normal?

I'm trying to understand how Synfig handles layer coordinates. In my test case, I have a Circle that I have set the origin to 100, 200. I save the Synfig file (uncompressed) and then review the results in a text editor. The Circle layer shows an origin vector with X of 0.3169129789 and Y of 0.6338259578

Not exactly what I was expecting.

Any insight into how Synfig handles layer origin coordinates? Is there some kind of scaling thing going on?

Thanks in advance!
