Great. I guess what we need now is a combined tutorial how to use this in animation.

I agree 

[racerx 268]

I figure I'd might as well be the first to try this out. It works fine if you want to do it all within Paint.net.... Nothin' but net....

[Eli 1,005]

Nice shot racerx. Training for the NBA? 

Edited August 2, 2015 by Eli

[racerx 268]

This works well, but is tedious to create individual frames one at a time. Is there any way you can make it spit out all frames as layers with a push of a button? It clearly works as is, but I would rather create the frames in a video composing  s/w like Aviutl for simplicity sake.. 

[TechnoRobbo 1,157]

Can be done but due to the limitation of PDN plugins it would export files that would be imported from the Layer menu using "Import from Files" (multiple files can be selected).

[racerx 268]

Well that would make it easier, as it would reduce the process to 2 steps instead of multiple steps for each frame. Weather or not people will figure out how to use it is always a question mark. It is a good option to facilitate creating motion frames with an editable curve all within Paint.net. Great job on that...

V1.1 ready for download

Exports frames !!!

Thanks to racerX

 

New video coming to show how to use it to create animation

[midora 202]

Perfect video to get all the steps together.

 

My wish: A zoom factor for the start and the end. This would allow to simulate movement from far away to nearby.

[Eli 1,005]

Thanks for the effect and the video TR.

 

I think that there are several assistants that can be created such as: Swivel, Grow and turn, Magnify, Spinner, Faded zoom to name a few.

My thoughts exactly

I like the Spin & Fade Idea

[TechnoRobbo 1,157]

Version 1.2 ready for download

 

It has Grow,Shrink and Rotate 

[Eli 1,005]

Thanks again TR!

[midora 202]

That's so funny Eli. And what should we do w/o the support of TR.

[TechnoRobbo 1,157]

Eli, thats awesome

[Maximilian 1,657]

TR, is it possible to make this compatible with 3.5.11?

 

I compiled the source code, but when I run the effect I get an error about ranges of valid values. Here's the error I get:

I compiled the source code, but when I run the effect I get an error about ranges of valid values. Here's the error I get:

 

Did you change any of the UI values? The error tells me you adjusted a default value manually.

 

try copying the text and make no changes

[Maximilian 1,657]

Nope, I didn't make any changes at all. I just loaded the source into CodeLab and then I compiled it.

[Maximilian 1,657]

I think I've found a solution.

 

I changed

double Amount5 = 0.75; // [0.1,1.5] Path Shape

to this:

double Amount5 = 0.1; // [0.1,1.5] Path Shape

and it's running fine, although my range of values for Path Shape are between 1 and 15 instead of 0.1 and 1.5 and I don't know how this affects the path shape in the end

 

Now I remember I've seen this problem before, and I remember someone once told me about it. Not being an expert coder, I tend to forget about these subtle coding issues.

I must be a dum-dum I don't see the download for version 1.2 ?  I downloaded this version of @TR's Key Frame at the beginning of his thread and it doesn't have the Export Frames box in the UI .

[TechnoRobbo 1,157]

 

 I downloaded this version of @TR's Key Frame at the beginning of his thread and it doesn't have the Export Frames box in the UI   .

 

Pixey, I Downloaded it and it shows up as 1.2

 

try downloading again 

 

Hover your mouse over th file it should say this

Woot!  It worked after downloading again.  Very odd - but I just downloaded Windows 10 today, so perhaps there was a glitch.  Now to play with this new toy - for which many thanks .

[Pixey 3,226]

I finally got to play with this new Plugin:

Very Cool!!!
