Hi, i've been testing Krita 4.1.5 for animation and I think is a great and powerfull tool, but i have a problem that is really made my life very difficult. When I have an animation in timeline and click play in preview panel, the animation starts to reproduce, but it has an strange delay of a frame. I'm going to try o explain me better: when I click the play button, the second keyframe takes the timing of the previous keyframe (the first one); the third keyframe takes the timing of the second keyframe, etc.

It's really frustating, so I hope anyone can help me. I would be so gratefull.

Thanks.

PD: I'm running krita in macOS 10.12 - 2,66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - 16 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Can you explain in more detail what you mean by "takes the timing"?
Would it help to render it out and post it to Imgur or a similar site? Can you provide a link to the .kra file so that someone could look at it?

Hi, sorry for the delay to reply. I mean when you click play in preview, the current frame shows the previous frame with the exposure of the previous frame.

I did a video where I show the problem and as well I've upload a .kra file:

Thanks a lot.

Thank you for providing the video screen capture and the original animation .kra file. I've opened this in krita and it plays fine and I rendered it out to .mp4 and that plays fine too.

Here is the .mp4 rendered file: https://imgur.com/pmJQz7j

I noticed that you'd put red 'squiggles' inside the circle on frame-0 (your first keyframe) so I put different coloured squiggles on the rest of the keyframes. I suggest that you right click the Imgur browser presentation and "save Video As ..." to view it properly played locally on your computer.

Please render out your anination to a .mp4 file to check that krita can produce the required final output correctly.

I think that your problem is a 'real time presentation' problem due to your computer not being able to present a 24 fps animation of that size at full speed. Having video capture software running at the same time would not help the situation.

You have a nice amount of memory but the Core 2 Duo is an old processor and not the most powerful of CPUs and it may not be up to the task of animation replay.

It might help to do replay at 0.5 or even 0.25 speed when you want to check the animation.

Another thing to try is to do Settings -> Configure Krita -> Performance -> Animation Cache -> Cache Storage Backend: In-memory
which might help a little.

Thanks for your fast reply.

I have tried all the things you said but nothing, and the rendered video is ok.
I'm afraid that you're right and it could be the processor, but working in other applications like harmony, photoshop or even After effects I haven´t this kind of problems, so I don´t really sure about it.

The weird thing is I've noticed that the first time you click play buttom, it reproduces in real time and when it does the loop, the playback is delayed.

I think my head is gonna blow up...
