Bug 427138

Summary: Animation won't play. I'm trying to animate, but every time I hit the play button, my animation will not play! Instead, it's just a still image. I've tried restarting my computer, restarting the program, but it won't do anything! It's just a still image!

The current formal release of krita is version 4.3.0 and you should upgrade to that.
In 4.2.7.1, animation worked fine (as it does in 4.3.0) so you are most probably doing something wrong as a result of misunderstanding how animation in krita works.

Please go to https://krita-artists.org/ and start a topic there to explain your problem, in the Support & Advice: Beginner's Questions category.
That is the forum for help and advice.

It would help if your initial post had information about what version you're using and what operating system you're using as well as a full screen screenshot (.png) showing your animation, the Timeline docker and the Layers docker and the  Animation docker.
