KRITA 5 Recorder Docker! 2022 

Tell that all your friends and we'll grow even more! .Thanks //RM

@@KritaOrgPainting trust that I am, but please don’t betray us we’ve been through enough 😢

Is included already. Go to edit/ paste into active layer and done! //RM

Thanks too for watching it. Nice avatar.

Have fun! ;) ans please share it krita-artists.org or here//RM

Thank you for sharing your methods!!

Can you explain it a bit more ? I don't understand what you mean, maybe i can help you better. Thanks //RM

These are super cool features. Maybe with more support, the Krita team can spend more time adding more features. So, who knows! I will like to have them :) //RM

Thanks mate! i hope it helps a lot of people.

could you report it to krita-artists.org please ?that helps, Maybe if you add the orginal file, or publish some screenshots.. that can help //RM

sorry about your issue, please report your issue to krita-artists.org and there you can get more help. I would use in this case a fast solution. I would use any video editor , for example i use Kdenlive and create the new file with the output image resolution, import your images as a sequence, then export to mp4 and you have your video. but please report your issue to prevent developers something needs to be improved or at least analized. Thanks //RM

Please report to krita-artists.org. There devs or other users could help you. The community is very suportive. //RM

Yes, krita has animation feature

you can resize the output of the video recorder during export, i mean you don't really need a 6000x4800px resolution timelpase video :P something arround 1080p should be more than enough for any viewer xD so yea...

Nope. It won't be an issue. My Laptop is 7 yrs old. i7 with 8GB ram. Handles it just fine.

When you export disable the option called "enable result preview" //RM

Hi! Whenever you start a new project and select Record for the first time, you can select a different folder for each folder. In this way, when you click Export, it will only export the project in which you are working on!

Have you solve it? if not let me now. or go to krita.artists.org and tell us more about that. thanks //RM

You can slow down the video in that part with youtube speed. Maybe helps you //RM

this would be a great feature, to be able to right click a layer and make it not recordable

I found a bit of a work around, I'm using Gromit-MPX (on linux) to trace the image on to the screen, then reduce the opacity of the Gromit-MPX screen drawing and load up Krita. You can then start tracing the Gromit-MPX lines on to Krita and when you are recording the Gromit image doesn't show.

Yes! If i´m not wrong, you can achieve that by using the "Record in Isolate Mode" from the recorder docker. Not excactly sure about how to use it, but you can give it a try!

2:30 is enough i don't know where is the problem pleaase explain with more detail //RM

The file format probably can't play on your device. You can use a program like HandBreak to convert the video to a different format.

I have the same problem. I tested it on two different cell phones and I can't see the video on them, but on the computer the video opens normally. The format in which I saved the video was MP4 x264. Did you manage to resolve this?

Thanks for the tips!. About new brushes what are you refering to? i need more info. The other things is based on human resources and time. //RM

Si, solo hay que volver a pulsar el boton de grabacion . Krita almacena todas la imagenes en una carpeta, puedes irte de vacaciones y seguir pintando despues que las añadira a lo que ya tenias. Al exportar lo junta todo y crea el video. //RM

sorry, can you give a more detailed info in krita-artists.org? there devs can help you //RM

Same problem I do the tutorials but something always goes wrong

sorry for your issue. Is the video playable at least? Does it happens with other videos? What configuration are you using for saving the file exactly? and last. Is your ffmpeg file the same as i talk about in the video? i hope this helps you a bit. No problems here until now here //RM

you can use 7zip. Let me know if that helps //RM

You need to select the ffmpeg.exe in the bin you went into. Go to the recorder docker, click the folder icon beside the FFmpeg field, go to the ffmpeg bin you mentioned, select ffmpeg.exe, after that it should be a check mark instead of a red cross and you can start exporting your recordings.

It works now! Thank you😊

@@Lynn-tc6dv You're welcome! :D

i hope you like it

@ oh, i do!

Then you need to record with "screen recorder" like OBS. Recorder docker is just to create timelapses for the people that don't want to show the entire interface and also don't want to edit their videos in a video editor //RM

Yes like other softwares, for sure. So the team is working constantly to provide better releases. With more support, better releases too :) //RM

Hi, check your resolution when you export it. also check this out. docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/dockers/recorder_docker.html //RM

@@KritaOrgPainting Omg thank you so much Krita! I will try :'D

No? All other apps I've used (such as Procreate) also take a snapshot per "action." All a video is, is more snapshots (more than one snapshot per "action" e.g. 30 fps is 30 snapshots per second instead of 1 per action). This would cause recordings to take up way more space, especially because most snapshots at professional image resolutions, even when downscaled by the recorder, are larger than 1080p.

​@@Giant-Enemy-Crab From a technical perspective, there is a huge difference between videos and images. It's why GIF is such a truly awful container for sequences of images, all the cons of image formats combined with few to none of the benefits of video. The main difference between storing image sequences in image rather than video containers, video tends to store changes between specific images rather than entire new images. Each video frame doesn't store its own name, color space, either. So yeah, the cons of the current implementation does make it infeasible for Krita to store partial strokes specifically, it certainly doesn't have to be the case. There is overhead to saving images, you have to go through the operating system and by extension, the filesystem which is magnitudes slower and computationally expensive compared to having a single large block of data with a very simple index, an approach other software might take. I have no clue about if other software does it, but, I find it very plausible that other software could perform the task with additional capabilities as mentioned. The way I would design the recorder system (from scratch, that is, not in Krita), store strokes in an abstract form in memory with occasional dumps to a data file, store key points in a stroke path, store key points with location and timestamp, store an image of the final stroke, then rebuild the image from these stored strokes, interpolate between key points before switching to the saved final stroke. Now you can build a video file with this information, with strokes.

@@TheLolilol321 Interesting. Yeah, every other app I've used, at least in the final video they output, also replays each action in a way that suggests similar snapshotting, although I don't actually know their implementations for certain. Anyways, I'm just some guy who's also used other apps and so could make a comparison, maybe also share your write-up to the Krita forums and suggest your improved implementation? There's a feature request section for such suggestions. Although I do worry that such a "replay" method of capturing seems very prone to bugs (like they often are in video games), especially compared to just capturing with OBS. But again, I'm just a user, so what do I know lol.

@@Giant-Enemy-Crab I literally started drawing this Christmas, the krita brush system is quite flexible and capable of some fairly complex stuff, I have no idea how any of Krita works and would yes it would likely take a lot of iteration to get right, there are many other areas I'd rather be prioritized since, as you mention you can just literally record the process. It's a pipe dream, pure speculation.

@@TheLolilol321 Ah I see, well, thanks anyway for the technical info, best of luck on your art journey!
