Span easings across multiple keyframes.

[Martenfur]

Sup. Let's say, I am doing a sword swing which has several keyframes. I want a smooth acceleration curve from start to finish, but it seems Spriter only allows easings from the current keyframe to the next.

If you cannot span an easing curve across multiple keyframes, how would you do a smooth motion and get rid of jerking when changing a keyframe?

Sorry, Spriter was more based on traditional frame by frame animation creation and a limitation if this approach is as you experienced, easing only happens from one key to another. Spriter 2 will allow separate easing for any attributes of any objects and across frames.

That's cool and all, but realistically, I'm not gonna remake all my animations for the new format and rewrite engine integration mid-dev.

Actually, will there be some sort of backwards compatibility/converter feature?

that's not impossible, but we can't promise it because the feature and data formats are so different. We're definitely considering it and weighing how possible it is though.

If it's not there, that's gonna be a dealbreaker. Nobody's gonna migrate. I'd make it a priority if I were you.

Hell, this slowmode is killing me.
