It’s just not really time for that… for text, in theory you’d need to be able to animate the opacity of an object on the vector layer. (For now it’s entirely possible to do so if you have every single line on a different layer, just like PS’s “style” of animation tools, but it’s obviously not ideal). For now we don’t have a person who works on animation, it’s simple as that. We are now working on resources and swearing over Python and PyQt to get the next releases done.
For adding subtitles I would suggest using a subtitle adding tool. Much easier. And you can translate it and whatnot.
You’re not able to do that yet, unless you can build Krita yourself and patch the source code.
I use Gadwin PrintScreen for that - great especially if you don’t have a PrintScreen key on your keyboard. It has shortcuts for (1) whole screen screenshot, (2) window screenshot and (3) area screenshot (so you don’t have to crop it), and it even comes with a little magnifier so you can put the corners exactly when you want them to be with a pixel precision. It by default both copies the screenshotted content to clipboard (which is awesome for facebook, I’ve found but also for Krita, since you can just paste it to Krita too, and Krita-artists works well with clipboard too) and saves it to your screenshots directory.
“Windows button + Shift + S”
Then in the action center you get options to quickly edit it more or annotate if you want
Edit: Oh, and if you use “Windows button + V”, you get a clipboard with multiple things you have copied, with a lot of neat features! It’s basically a more powerful “Ctrl + V”
Windows user here.
Photoshop at work, although I use alternatives whenever possible
Clip Studio, Krita, Affinity Suite. PureRef also all the time, it is just the single greatest little tool ever!
Inkscape for vector tidbits and Gwenview for quick management. For heavy lifting Digikam. And Pinta for resizing images (as a workaround, because Gwenview started bugging when I try to save a resized image…).
The only other image editors I have installed are Inkscape, GIMP, and Artrage 6. I’ve noticed the latest release of Artrage doesn’t seem as stable as previous versions so I’ve been using Krita a lot more lately.
I also use GIMP (for final retouch), Blender when I want to start out with image composition with complex perspective, and Inkscape (for texts/vector)
The only proprietary program occasionally I use is Autodesk SketchBook (has a better brush engine than Krita, but the windowed GUI is not my thing and it’s hard as f*** to zoom in, I hate it)
but also for Krita, since you can just paste it to Krita too, and Krita-artists works well with clipboard too) and saves it to your screenshots directory.
