To make this better for almost everyone, we spent some time to include a basic build of FFmpeg into Krita itself, which should include 'out-of-the-box' support for every free and open container and codec format under the sun. This was mostly good enough for studio use, but it was still difficult to set up for users who aren't that technical, and almost impossible to do on locked down systems like Android or even a school computer. Previously, Krita required users to point to an FFmpeg executable somewhere on their system in order to use many of the features pertaining to video, such as animation video export, video import as animation, and the Recorder Docker for recording your painting sessions. Speaking of the video export option, FFmpeg is a massively important program that manages (among other things) rendering and conversion of audio and video formats. MLT is a proven and flexible framework used by video editing programs like Kdenlive and designed with frame-by-frame synchronization in mind, and should help Krita animators feel confident that their key frames will stay lined up with their voice work or background music, both inside of the program and in their exported animation videos. In order to fix various audio-visual sync issues when playing animations with attached audio, Emmet and Eoin reworked much of the animation playback to use the MLT framework behind the scenes. There should have been a video here but your browser does not seem to support it.

We're happy to share that two major pain points for animation got tackled: synchronized playback of audio ( MR 1323) and simplifying video export ( MR 1599). As such, this release contains a lot of background work that we hope to build future improvements on top of, as well as a healthy assortment of new features and fixes! Animation
