While I’ve tried my best to work with Synfig and appreciate all of the nice features it offers, the crashing has reached a point where it’s impossible to get anything done. I’m using the latest 1.4.0 release on a MacBook air running Catalina, and while Macs aren’t the most stable computers, no reasonable application should crash this much. This seems to have been a problem in the past based on this thread, and it seems to be getting even worse as the years go by. Let me repeat that: using save as has a large chance to induce a crash before you can even save your file! I’m not even doing anything intensive, just using basic clamped animations on basic shapes. I’m getting at least one crash every minute, seemingly caused by everything from changing the time frame to right-clicking on a waypoint to even saving. Sorry to revive this old topic, but I really have to say that while Synfig is rather nice for animation, it simply crashes way too much to be viable. days until the work is done… single images… on Gimp. But time-lines and dead-lines… seriously… at the rate things are going, I’ll just have to go back to staying awake for 24hr.
#Synfig studio crashes when i try to create text software
Then again, I wish Allaire Homesite never got murdered.)īut, has ANYBODY figured out what’s happening with Synfig? It’s REALLY an amazing work of software and I’m just getting to understand the quirks and idiosyncrasies.

I know, I know… You want Adobe? Buy Adobe? (I wish Macromedia never let Adobe destroy “Flash”. Set them to “straight” timeswap" and the very second I click on the first image to work on it (the fading transition)… Synfig decides it’s had too much to do and stops responding (as it tells me). It’s April 2018, I just installed the latest version of Synfig, got ONE project done, took a break for a day and today? CRASH! And I’m doing the most simple animation: “Straight” with about 10 png images, each 800x800, black and white. 2017 and things haven’t changed nor been fixed. I see that the last post on this thread is Nov.
