SUMMARY Liaison KDENLIVE Glaxnimate je ne sais pas si c'est un bug ou une mauvaise procédure de ma part ! " I don't know if it's a bug or a bad procedure on my part ! Sorry" STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. charger kden, charger une vidéo sur la timeline , créer une animation et la placer sur la timeline 2. double clic sur l'animation : Glaxnimate s'ouvre et le fond correspondant AUSSI. Création d'un objet puis sauver et quitter Glaxnimate par "quit". Tout est correct dans KDEN 3. Redouble cliquer sur l'animation , Glaxnimate s'ouvre MAIS on a perdu le fond (image de la timeline) " 1. load kden, load a video on the timeline, create an animation and place it on the timeline 2. double-click on the animation: Glaxnimate opens and the corresponding background ALSO. Create an object then save and quit Glaxnimate with "quit". All is now correct in KDEN 3. Double-click on the animation, Glaxnimate opens BUT the background (timeline image) is lost. " OBSERVED RESULT Il n'est plus possible d'avoir un fond de vidéo dans Glaxnimate après une première ouverture Pour pouvoir retrouver le fond je suis obligé de fermer Kden puis de le réouvrir. encore une fois c'est peut être une erreur de ma part ! merci pour votre aide "It is no longer possible to have a video background in Glaxnimate after opening it for the first time. To find the background I have to close Kden and then reopen it. once again, this may be a mistake on my part! thanks for your help " EXPECTED RESULT que le fond vidéo s'affiche a nouveau pour modifier etc. sans avoir a relancer Kden "the video background is displayed again for editing etc. without having to restart Kden" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: w10 Qt Version: 5.15.10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Second this. Tried all sorts of manipulations to avoid needing to restart kdenlive, nothing seems to work. Save file -> close Glaxnimate. Don't save -> close. Save -> quit with quit option, etc etc etc, nothing. Opening another file in "working" instance of glaxnimate doesnt help either.
This is also the case with appimage 24.05: Once Glaxnimate is closed while the project is still open in Kdenlive, editing the animation is possible but without the background showing in Glaxnimate. Both applications have to be closed and opened again (Glaxnimate from within Kdenlive) to show the background. One more observation: The first time Glaxnimate is opened, there is no background. It shows only after the playhead in Glaxnimate is moved along the timeline.
OK that's really what's happening with me: 1- quit Kdenlive AND glaxnimate 2-when you return to Kden, launch the clip modification to go to Glaxnimate 3- in Glaxnimate, you also have to launch the animation so that the background appears. it's not every day i use ! but I'm hoping for a change in ergonomics, so thanks to the development team.
Bernd Update: Test AppImage of Kdenlive and Glaxnimate; tldr - now works for linux but not for windows OS Under linux (working) Kdenlive: 24.12.1 MLT: 7.28.0 FFmpeg KDE Frameworks: 6.9.0 Qt: Using 6.8.0 and built against 6.8.0 Linux Mint 22.1 (Xcb) Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-lp64 Kernel: linux 6.8.0-52-generic Glaxnimate: 0.5.4+appimage-dc26f367
I just tested the latest Glaxnimate and Kdenlive versions on Windows and it worked for me. When double clicking an animation clip in timeline, Glaxnimate opens but doesn't at first display the background. You need to scroll in glaxnimate timeline to make the background appear. This first frame refresh issue is now fixed in the upcoming 25.04.0 release

Created attachment 179748 [details] attachment-1742495-0.html Bonjour, Merci pour votre retour, J'avais effectivement constaté cette amélioration depuis quelques nouvelles "releases" ça marche comme évoqué également chez moi. Bravo pour votre travail, Kdenlive est vraiment, pour moi, un logiciel extraordinaire ! Merci pour tout ce travail.

Now close glaxnimate, and try clicking on animation clip in kdenlive. You will notice, background will remain blank, even if you scroll in glaxnimate timeline. Which is the actual problem window users are facing. This does not occur in linux (as test setup mentioned in Comment #5). Unless both are closed (that is kdenlive and glaxnimate) kdenlive background will not be shown in glaxnimate (even after scrolling in glaxnimate's timeline)

(In reply to farid from comment #10) > The fix will be applied in the next version... SUMMARY: Kdenlive timeline is not previewed as background in glaxnimate, if trying re-opened animation clip multiples after 1st attempt. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. Start kdenlive. 2. Import any video clip, and then create animation clip in project bin. 3. Insert video clip at V1 in kdenlive timeline and animation clip in V2 above video clip. 4. Double click on animation clip, then glaxnimate will open. 5. Background is blank - scroll in glaxnimate timeline will preview kdenlive background. Note: This is the step you have missed. 6. Now close glaxnimate, and try clicking on the same animation clip in kdenlive. OBSERVED RESULT Glaxnimate (after re-opening by clicking animation clip again), kdenlive background is not visible in glaxnimate timeline (even after scrolling in timeline) EXPECTED RESULT Glaxnimate should preview kdenlive background in timeline. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows - Edition Windows 10 Home Single Language Version 22H2 Installed on 04/08/23 OS build 19045.5608 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19061.1000.0 Kdenlive - Kdenlive: 25.07.70 MLT: 7.30.0 FFmpeg KDE Frameworks: 6.12.0 Qt: Using 6.8.1 and built against 6.8.1 Windows 10 Version 22H2 Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-llp64 Kernel: winnt 10.0.19045 Glaxnimate - Glanimate: 0.5.4+win-dc26f367 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have been trying to figure out an alternative to overcome this problem, I discovered this technique but can't be used for large or complex project. The technique. That if you double click animation (glanimate) clip in kdenlive time, glaxnimate program start and shows kdenlive timeline as background. But once you close glaxnimate and reopen it, background will not be updated. Unless both kdenlive and glaxnimate are closed and reopened again. What I discovered that I don't need to close glaxnimate always. Once I add animation in glaxnimate, save it but minimize the program. Kdenlive will reload the animation clip. Now I can move animation clip anywhere, background will be updated in glaxnimate program. Only drawback is only one animation clip is possible. If you try opening another animation clip, the background will not show in 2nd instance of glaxnimate program. So I thought make a dedicated video layer for animation in kdenlive timeline, where animation clip will be size of the total video duration required for the project. Other notes: Please note in the Attachment (Kdenlive nightly build 9951.gif), the splash screen for both kdenlive and glaxnimate are not showing because of two monitor setup I have. Therefore splashscreen was showing in my main monitor
Created attachment 179780 [details] Nightly build test (9951) Note: Shared .mp4 screenrecording instead of gif as mentioned in comment #11 due to file size issue.
