Changing Synfig to open up a new document every time in a certain size seems to circumvent craziness (file/setup)
#Synfig studio error software
It is a problem though for anyone using the software if you don’t know to use setup and you’re going into properties instead. The software took that info and dropped in the correct image area (document/canvas size) and image size (render area). Early on when I was working in Synfig, I changed the setup settings ( file/setup) so that every time I launch a new project file it will be 1920X1080. I opened my files expecting the worst, but I actually unwittingly averted danger. You’ll see how Darth struggles with the program. To see this in action, just watch the video above. By going back and forth multiple times and changing this info, the numbers will eventually take. Here’s the problem, when you put in the image area (document size) numbers, the image size (render area) numbers will change. So for your final dimensions, you need to divide the units in half. Each of the four measurements start from that center point.
In Synfig, the origin point (0x, 0y) is at the center of the screen instead of the upper left like all other software. The image area is broken into four quadrants. For the actual document/canvas size you would have to divide that measurement by 60, giving you 24units X 18units. In the image above, Darth has a final render size of 1440px X 1080px. The image area is one of the few places where you can’t change the measurement to pixels. Notice that it looks odd? Are they the aspect ratio? What could they be? It turns out they’re a measurement called a “synfig unit.” By default a lot of the measurements in Synfig are set to these units by default. So where’s the setting for the document size? It’s what’s referred to as image area (circled in red, above). Image area highlighted in red is the canvas size. I’ve never seen a program where the render settings will change the actual canvas. If you change the image size, it looks like you’re changing the canvas because the canvas size will change for your document. Image size is the render size for the document.
Up to now I thought that image size was the canvas/document size but it’s not. The problem is with the property settings ( edit/properties). This was going to be an emergency brake that would be painful to repair. It was at that moment that I also realized my project settings could be wrong for all my work. While watching his video on project settings and basic masking, Darth explained something that I never discovered on my own-that the project/render settings are crazy. Recently, Darth started posting Synfig how-to videos. He’s an incredible artist who shares all his animation techniques and tricks. I started following Darth’s work years ago when I started using Anime Studio Pro.

In my free time this week, I was catching up on my “Watch Later” cue on Youtube. Did you ever do something stupid like drive your car for two weeks with the emergency brake on without realizing it, resulting in a damaged car and emotional psyche? A similar thing happened to me with Synfig this week but the only problem was that the emergency brake was not in clear sight and it came with an instruction manual.
