OH! I just realized what is causing your problem!  It's not a bug, it's caused by a misunderstanding of an animation timeline and how that effects export.

If you export keyframes only, it will export all key-frames, regardless of their position on the time-line, even if you have a key-frame at the very end of the timeline... BUT..
If you have a keyframe at the very end of the timeline, then what you're telling Spriter is you want that particular keyframe to be displayed for only 1 THOUSANDTH of a second, so you'd have to export the animation at a ridiculous 1000 frames per second for that exact key frame to ever be exported, and it would be lost in an ocean of way too many frames

If you're exporting based on FPS, then make sure any key-frame you want to be exported is actually displayed for long enough.. meaning if you are exporting at 24 FPS, then make sure there is 240 thousandths of a second or more AFTER the last key-frame! If you do this and your animation is not meant to be looped, make sure you turn off looping for that animation before exporting, so that last key frame isn't tweened with the first frame of the animation.

Does this make sense?

Far less than 5 years, far more than a few months. That's the best we can say. Sorry. When the time comes we'll start showing previews and then eventually private and then public beta testing. but even the preview thing is still quite a long time from now.

A millisecond is a thousandth of a second.

My game Ball Walker is available for iOS in the App Store and Android in Google Play for free!
A physics based game that's all about balance, patience and maddening fun. Walk the ball across the finish line to win! Game play is simple, but difficult to master

Animations made with Spriter.
Game made with Construct 2.
Please play and let me know what you think.

I can verify this. Not all animations in the art packs are designed so they can be tweened with any other animation in the character's set. Animations like walk, idle, and run are likely to blend well, other animations you need to either just pop directly too create a custom animation that tweens from one to the other.

When Spriter 2 is released it will feature deforming features by default and will be a free upgrade for all Spriter Pro owners. This is still a long time from now though.. no time estimates.Sorry for the massive delay for official support for this feature.

 

Cool. Looks great. congrats on the launch and best of luck.

Wow, great service!  Thank you, Mike. 

Hi everyone, we've just released a new art pack and for the next 6 days you can get it at 25 percent off!

You can find it in our store here: 
DONT FORGET to use coupon code: FRONTIERS to get your discount!

This does work in GMStudio 2, at least the basic functions do, but you need to use "working_directory" when loading the spriter file.  I tested this and it loaded my file without issue.  I cannot vouch for all the other feature yet.
 

Hi everyone,
 
A quick post to keep you informed about our progress.
 
First of all, Condor is now in version 1.2. It’s a light update which adds a brand new interface as well as three new stunts and a rework on difficulty, the game should be easier on the first levels. You can download the game for free here, or buy the ads-free version here.
 
 

 
About our biggest project, Sacrifices is now on closed beta and should be released in July. As always you can check our progress on Twitter, Facebook or our Website. We should launch an open beta during this month.

Feel free to ask for a beta link if you’re interested in testing Sacrifices!

Yes, if you purchased Spriter you can use any or all of the content from the Essentials versions of the art packs for any game project of yours. What you can not do is give, sell or trade any of the art pack content to someone else for them to use in their games.

Same for any of the full art packs if you purchased them. 

Sorry for the delayed reply. White is not transparent. In nearly any program, when you're using a transparent background it will be displayed as a checkerboard pattern. It sounds like you drew directly onto a white layer and not a transparent layer. Also be sure to trim your images before saving them. You should NEVER have an image floating in the middle of a giant field of empty space, this is incredibly un-optimized for your game and for Spriter. I highly recommend you learn to use Krita from www.krita.org its a fantastic and FREE graphics program with much more professional features and much better geared for game art creation (or art creation in general)
 


If you want to keep using MS Pain, then you'll have to Google "save image with transparent background in MS Paint" or something like that to learn how to do so (if it's possible. I assume so, but don't use MS Paint)

Hi, I'm building a 2d online multiplayer real-time fighting game. You can play the demo here: https://gameof.ninja 
I have used flash, actionscript, starling, and texturepacker years ago. I've been doing nodeJS / Angular / React for the past few years, but I'm new to Phaser. I'm having trouble saving out my character animations (that I purchased) in a smaller size without losing image quality. 
I'm looking for someone to basically be my UI / UX design and animation coach and tutor. I love the part that is straight coding. The real look of the front-end design does not come as naturally for me (hence why I'm looking for a mentor).
I would like to video pair programming or "pair designing" sessions. It would be even better if you could meet up in the New York City / New Jersey area, but that's prob not realistic. Willing to pay $40 - $50 per hour.
 

Having the uncropped images can cause performance problems in Spriter, which will be more noticeable the more images you use per project and per animation.

If you only plan to export your finished animations as GIF or sequential images (full frame images) then trimming is not necessary as you seem to have guessed.

Going back to the original topic, you have the export set to use "animation preset" under "source rectangle". When you set the reset cropping for the animation, were you careful to make sure there was room at the bottom so the feet would not get slightly cropped off?

Welcome GeminiEngine,
Please post a screen shot or video recording showing the export settings, even if you've not changed anything. This will help us figure out the cause of the problem faster.
In the meantime, you should always trim your images before using them in Spriter. You're wasting a massive amount of memory and drawing time with all that empty space in all your images.
 
 

I would like to ask when its going to be available in spriter, i made some animations with pixel art bodyparts and some came out ok , it doesnt look that bad when rendered with nearest neighbour but there were still some single pixels/jaggies here and there especially on the borders, im realy curious how these animations would look like when exported with new algorithm for rotating sprites.
Im posting some rendered gifs and my spriter file if you guys would like to test it when working on this feature and maybe do comparison or something :).
I made if from this single sprite : http://www.deviantart.com/art/Raphael-182598470
First three are nearest neighbour , last one is smooth sampling.

No problem. Glad to help. 

Also, regarding characters being in separate SCML files. I did not mean characters created via character maps, I meant characters who's animation data was also different.

All the Essentials Art packs are your animations and images which come free with Spriter. Yes, it includes walking characters. Click "My Purchases", then "manage" near the Spriter thumbnail, then scroll down and find the links to download all the Essentials art packs.

With Spriter Pro you can create a clone of your entire project scaled up or down to any size you want (including the images in the folder)... Do this first, then replace the enlarged images with your clean vector-created ones. HOWEVER, the images will need to be the exact same size and shape as the ones you're replacing, trimmed the exact same way. 
 
I'd recommend creating the large project clone, then use the enlarged images it produces as guides in your vector program to recreate clean vector versions... them export each image from the vector program with the exact scale and cropping as the guide image.

Hello everyone.  Here's a new Spriter release with a couple of minor additions and several important bug fixes.  Enjoy!

Spriter Release 11
Released 4/20/2017
Additions and Enhancements
Added pro feature to allow you to set background guide images per animation. It's impossible to accidentally move or edit the background images unless you enter the guide image editing mode. Guide image information is saved in a way that will be ignored by external implemenations and Spriter's own spritesheet generation. Hovering over metadata keys (variables and tags) now reveals their data Changes
Spriter will now prevent you from attempting to export to png/gif with an invalid custom rect source or target size (previously exited the dialog without exporting) Added option to right-click to rename in the z-order and hierarchy panes Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where moving animations from one entity to another would result in missing objects if the target entity already contained those objects Fixed a crash that would occur upon closing the edit variable dialog if a key was double clicked to open it and then that key was removed in the dialog Fixed a bug where variable keys couldn't be created in new animations created after the new variable was added Fixed a bug where if a project was loaded with an entity that contained a variable, keys for that variable couldn't be created in animations that didn't already have at least one key Fixed a bug that allowed you to drag an animation containing a sub-entity into the entity it was using as a sub-entity. This would corrupt the animation, as entities cannot be sub-entities of themselves Fixed a bug that would cause objects to incorrectly update angles on multiple keys after being drag/dropped under certain circumstances Fixed a bug where copy and pasting pivot points wouldn't work in certain situations Fixed several bugs and a crash when moving animations from one entity to another under certain conditions Spriter now attempts to automatically repair broken file associations that would cause default pivot points to reset to the top-left corner
