Hi I’m new to Krita and to animation. When I press the play button, it skips a few frames like in this video here (before I press play it’s just me going through the frames 1 by 1, not the lag). However when I change the framerate to 12 fps it shows all the frames. What’s happening and how do I fix it?
edit: I’m using Windows 10 and Krita 5.0.6
It looks like you have Drop Frames enabled (just to the left of the Speed slider).
The red line indicates that frames are being dropped to maintain real time playback speed.
Did you turn it off at some point in that video?
How does it play if you turn Drop Frames off?
Edit:Add: Does it render out to video with all frames showing?
I turned off Drop Frames and it’s still laggy, however when I render it to video it seems fine
edit: I noticed the timeline appears laggy when it’s passing through frames that have something in them, like up to 15 in the video
Okay I so I found a solution by unchecking Canvas Graphics Acceleration (Settings → Configure Krita → Display), but I don’t know if I’m gonna run into any problems later on because of this config, or if this is just a temporary fix.
Krita doesn’t make much use of the GPU but you will notice a slow down of canvas zoom and rotate actions.
I’m surprised that this has happened on Windows 10 with 5.0.6.
Can you try the 5.1.0-beta1 to see if it still has the problem, from here:
First Beta for Krita 5.1.0 Released | Krita
If you get the portable .zip package then you can use that independently of your installed 5.0.6 and it will use the same configs and resources.
Can you get the output of Help → Show system information for bug reports (using 5.0.6) and paste it in a reply here?
So, can we say that the 5.0.1-beta1 has fixed it?
If so, you can carry on using that until the formal 5.1.0 release which will happen soonish.
You have 8GB of RAM which is more than enough for even medium size/length/complexity animations.
I’m wondering if the Intel UHD 630 graphics has any influence on this but it’s not an area I’m familiar with. It might be a good idea to update the Intel graphics drivers anyway, to the latest version if yours isn’t the latest.
Seems like it. I’ll see if I can update the drivers. Thanks
