Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Most technologies continue to improve with innovation, like WiFi. What is a technology that was nearly perfect upon conception?

I never read any tutorials on how to use it so I can’t recommend any :/
Since I am mostly importing SVG into the program, I don’t actually need to deal with creating any layers in Synfig. Here are the basics:
- Drag the play head to a frame where you want things to change
- Turn on animation mode (main canvas bottom right)
- Set the interpolation (next to animation mode button). Ease is often a good one
- Select a layer to edit (you can select multiple)
- Drag the nodes around to move them
- Congrats! You just animated those node from frame 0 to wherever your play head is on!
Do keep in mind about some bugs while important Inkscape SVGs:
- If you copied some objects from 1 Inkscape file to another, your gradients are likely broken
- Clipping doesn’t work out of the box. Duplicate the lower layer, group it with the higher layer, set the higher layer’s composite method to “Straight Onto”
There are a lot more small problems above those.
Thanks!
I first have the animation idea brew in my head for about 2 weeks, so I know exactly what scenes there will be. Then it’s just a combination of Inkscape, Synfig Studio and Kdenlive.
For each scene, I first create a static version (i.e. vector art) on Inkscape. Then I import it into Synfig Studio for making vector animation. Finally I put all the snippets together and add sound in Kdenlive.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this?
13·1 month agoAyyy fellow Canto speaker on the same boat
I don’t really watch anime but I want to read Japanese text. I’m currently 2 months in following the Tofugu guide. I spent about a week on memorizing Hiragana and Katakana, and have been grinding Kanjis and vocabularies on Anki since then. At some point I also read the Japanese sentence structure guide from 8020japanese out of curiosity. This combination allows me to learn Japanese much faster at my own rate than pre-designed methods like Duolingo.
Since I’m a native Cantonese speaker, learning Kanji is rather trivial, so I mostly spend my time learning both Onyomi (Chinese pronunciation) and Kunyomi (Japanese pronunciation).
I am at a point where I can read some simple sentences and guess some words base on Kanji (for example はじめる means “start” on my Japanese Wii), but I definitely still have a long way to go before I can do anything fluent. If you watch a decent amount of anime, chances are you can probably learn faster than me.
Easiest way is probably through your phone’s hotspot. Connect to a VPN on your phone, and then connect your switch to your phone.
It feels like most players left except the stronger players, who have often higher ranks. I think you may have a better chance in the Japanese player base in case you are not there already, but that requires some VPN setup and causes additional lag.
