ofn-scroll-layer - Ofnuts - 04-17-2020

A small script to generate animations by shifting a layer.

ofn-scroll-layer is available here. Please read the HTML doc and its magnificent example.

RE: ofn-scroll-layer - Krikor - 04-17-2020

First again :-)

I was unable to configure the script correctly; I haven't read the manual yet, I just read it quickly.  Blush

So I didn't know how to limit it to 60 layers, and the script generated an infinite number of layers.  Sad 

I had to work around the situation manually. But ok, it was just to try the script.  Rolleyes

Sunday night or Monday, I will have time to experiment with the script again. à bientôt

RE: ofn-scroll-layer - Ofnuts - 04-18-2020

The manual explains in detail why in some cases you get a huge number of copies. That number of copies has to be a common multiple of the H and V cycles, and the H and V cycles are each a common multiple of the step and the layer dimension. So with random number things can get big.

RE: ofn-scroll-layer - Ofnuts - 04-18-2020

Added support for tiled layers, which can reduce the size of the animation.

RE: ofn-scroll-layer - Krikor - 04-23-2020

I was playing with this script and as much as I tried different configurations, the result was always a non-constant animation.
I varied the number of steps, created a seamless layer, etc. I always got an oscillating gif, as if it stuck in some parts.

So I saved the .xcf and decided to check with version 2.10.18 and voilà.

In summary, at least with my Samj portable version 2.10.12 I was unable to generate results with continuous transitions and without bumps.
With version Samj's Portable 2.10.18 I didn't have a single problem of this type.

RE: ofn-scroll-layer - Ofnuts - 04-23-2020

There should be no jumps if your layer is seamless, and I don't thing the Gimp version comes into play. Otherwise please share the XCF (before the animation is generated).

Taking both pictures, exporting all layers as TGA (PNG includes a timestamp so identical images would produce different files), then taking the MD5 of each file for easy comparison:

So you have several clusters of files where the image is the same which is why you have this choppy  animation. To be accurate you have two 5-frames breaks:
  • 14-15-16-17-18
  • 29-30-01-02-03
They are spaced exactly 15 frames apart...  

And of course, I find these identical frames in the pre-animation version your posted. But I still have a very hard time believing that this would be due to the version of Gimp... Do you have the same problem with different steps (-4,-5,-6,-12)?

RE: ofn-scroll-layer - Krikor - 05-04-2020

I used the same .xcf to generate both animations.

After applying the scroll-layer + interleave layers and generating the animation 01 (Gimp 2.10.12), I opened the .xcf in Gimp 2.10.18, deleted the layers created with the scroll-layers in gimp 2.10.12 and created new layers this time using the scroll-layer with gimp 2.10.18 and then applying the interleave layers.

In common both versions had two initial layers:
001 copy

Sorry, I don't understand what steps that would be (-4, -5, -6, -12).

(Some minutes after...)
Oops ... do you say steps in the scroll-layer script? (horizontal and vertical)
I haven't touched it again for maybe 10 days, but vaguely I remember that I tried several steps and usually always gave this problem, but I have a vague reminder that when the number of layers was quite large I didn't notice the oscillation (dysrhythmia / jumping ) in the animation.

RE: ofn-scroll-layer - Ofnuts - 05-05-2020

The problem is visible as soon as your generate the scroll. The identical frames reinforce their image  and there are also visible gaps in the "smear".
