AnimStack - animation tools for GIMP @animstack - Tumblr Blog

Idk if u guys still are answering but I downloaded animstack like u said and I even used it but now after I downloaded G’MIC-Qt plug in onto GiMP suddenly the Process Animstack Tags under animation went missing and got replaced bu Unoptimize, even when i click on it (in RPG mode) Process Animstack Tags still doesnt show up and instead it’s just “Remove optimization” I don’t know what’s going on

What version of GIMP is it? Version 3.0 and higher is not supported currently. "Unoptimize" is one of default GIMP menu options, so it should've been there even when you had Animstack installed.

GIMP 3.0?

Hi there! So recently after years of development GIMP 3.0 has been released! That's good news. The bad news is that Animstack doesn't currently work with GIMP 3.0 (and neither do my other GIMP scripts from what I've seen). I'll see what I can do to get them up to date but can't promise anything since I haven't touched that code in years.

Note that installing GIMP 3.0 does not overwrite your GIMP 2.10 installation and you can still use GIMP 2.10 after installing GIMP 3.0. So for now please use GIMP 2.10 if you need to use Animstack for some reason.

Animstack 0.64 released

Recently I’ve been made aware of the fact that [matte] tag is no longer working with the new versions of GIMP. Since it’s a pretty useful tag, I decided to fix it ASAP. So here’s a new release containing the fix!

Download it here!

#animstack #gimp

I am finishing watch tutorial your video AnimStack0.3 . Cannot follow matte ,Action tags , not working in GIMP 2.10. Please check 2.10 ok? for matte?. Thank you

I just tested it and you’re correct, at some point the behavior of threshold function has changed and the matte tag stopped working. I think it had to be after 2.10.0 was released though. I created a ticket on GIMP bug tracker and will try to create a workaround for this.

Did you know GIMP can read and export animated WEBP files? You can edit them just like GIF files, except there’s no 256 color limit! And obviously all Animstack functionality still works with them.

Unfortunately, despite some(?) .gif files being downloaded as .webp from Tumblr, it doesn’t seem to support uploading .webp files. Still, this functionality might be useful for other purposes.

Hey, so the script has a problem where the [fg] and the [bg] tags don't work with other tags (in this case, the [scale] tag). I know that other people have asked about this, but I haven't seen solutions; the one workaround I found is manually deleting all tags from layer names after the Process Animstack has run, but that's pretty tedious. Do you have a solution/workaround/hack/patch for this? I'm willing to Paypal actual money for this. This is a good script overall, but this is frustrating.

Can you describe your problem in more detail? scale tag is an effect tag, it should work with any action tags. An effect tag should be prefixed by either ‘-’, ‘+’ or ‘!’ otherwise it wouldn’t work.

Moreover “manually deleting all tags from layer names after the Process Animstack has run” should not be necessary, because the tags are deleted by Animstack during processing. So clearly something is not working right there.

OMG, an update! Thank my lucky stars! Any way this will ever work for Linux GIMP? Thanks for everything.

Does it not work on Linux GIMP? I never actually tested it there but I assumed the code should be portable.

Animstack 0.63 released

Yep, this is actually a new release, 3 years after 0.62 was released.

Basically Motion Blur API slightly changed in GIMP 2.10 and now it no longer accepts angles outside of [0, 360] interval. Which in turn made Animstack’s motion sampler not work in many cases. If you don’t use motion sampler, there’s no need to update.

Download Animstack 0.63 here.

Can I use AnimStack to make my old gif (approx. 70 frames/layers) transparent? The strange thing is that Frame 1 is called background but the layer has a black background and some clouds. The clouds are okay, only I want the background to be transparent instead of black. Please help me.

Yeah, you can. Remove the black background (I’m not sure if it’s only present on the first frame or not), and make every frame (replace) and optionally apply matte. With animstack add an empty layer to the bottom with the tags “[matte:threshold][;replace]” where threshold is a number from 1 to 255.

Using the following Tags [fg] [-erase::] to display a line of text character by character doesn't work for me . Where have I gone wrong?

Is the layer a text layer? Send a screenshot of the layer panel otherwise I can’t tell what’s wrong.

Animstack is messing with my gimp software. Is there a way to uninstall the script-fu item? I cannot find it once the scm was installed. Please provide me with some direction.

To uninstall Animstack, simply remove animstack.scm from the folder you put it in. The possible folder candidates are listed in Edit-Preferences-Folders-Scripts.

Hello, can you help me how the erase tag works? I cant get it going for some reason.

Well, the simplest use is if you have a Text layer you can put [-erase] tag on it to erase one letter at every step.

becomes

There are some limitations. The layer must be a text layer without any formatting for specific parts of the text (through pop-up window).

Is there a trick to gradually scale a series of layers until it reaches a selection anchor of sorts that gives the similar appearance to a zooming-in effect for a non-static image?

Not sure what you mean exactly, but you can scale a series of layers using roll action tag and scale or stretch effect tags. In this quickly thrown together example, I have 3 layers that say 1, 2, 3. I put them into a layer group and placed the following tags on it: [.roll] [-;scale:1+0.3*i]. On each step a layer is selected cyclically out of the “roll” and then scaled by a certain factor based on the formula (first step x1, second x1.3, third x1.6 and so on). If you need to scale based on pixel dimensions, use stretch tag instead. The result:

Hey there, I was wondering if there was a way to change the mode of multiple layers using AnimStack. I use [render][;gradmap][;opacity:45] on a transparent layer and then process AnimStack to add the gradient to, for example, 30 layers. Now I have to change 30 gradient map layers to the mode soft light so I was wondering if there was a quicker way to maybe change it all at once.

I don’t think it’s possible to change layer modes with Animstack, I never got around to adding that functionality (though it’s probably easy to implement).

There is a quicker way. Open Filters - Script-Fu - Console and paste the following into it:

(vector-for-each (lambda (gr) (if (is-true? gimp-item-is-group gr) (gimp-layer-set-mode (vector-ref (cadr (gimp-item-get-children gr)) 0) 19))) (cadr (gimp-image-get-layers IMAGE_ID)))

except replace IMAGE_ID with your image ID (in the window title if it says “blahblah.xcf-NN.0″ then NN is image ID. This code will set the mode of top layer in every layer group as Soft Light (19).

In AnimStack 0.5 the tags for drop shadow on pepper animation are not clear in the video. Would you kindly write the two commands for the layers?

The layers were:

Background [*20]

pepper [.copy:0] [-;move:x:y] [x=osc:100:20:0] [y=osc:100:20:0.25] [a=inc:36] [-;rotate:a]

shadow [render::-1:0] [-;thr] [-;move:30:20] [-;gb:30] [-;opacity:50]

Hi, thanks for making the script, it's extremely helpful. Now maybe a stupid question: when I try to save my gifs in colour, the program says that it cannot save RGB gifs and yet greys out the option for me to convert it back to indexed. Is there any advice you can give me on that front? Thank you!

Yeah, you can’t export to GIF or convert to Indexed if there are Layer Groups in the image. Use command Image - Flatten Layer Groups prior to exporting.

My mac won't let me copy animstack into the scripts folder or anywhere else in GIMP. Is there another way to get animstack in the scripts folder?

You can add custom scripts folders in Edit-Preferences-Folders-Scripts.
