Hi, for a project i need to make a animation that involves moving wires, since i already have the picture for the wires i only need to animate them, so is there any way in krita for making an object have vectors that you would only need to move every key frame in order to animate the object?
By the way im using the official krita 5.2.9 for windows, if someone needs that info in order to help me
Hello @Miguel_Angel_Martin, and welcome to the forum!
I don’t animate, so I’may have overlooked something, but since the manual states that “In specific, Krita has frame-by-frame raster animation.”, I guess you can at best move vector objects like raster objects on your screen/canvas. You can use tweening, yes, but you can not use vectorial descriptions to move an object from point A to point B, that has to be done the traditional way.

Thanks for clearing that up, i was trying to see if anyone knew a way to make vectorial animation here that is easier for me, but as you said it seems that i will only be able to use raster-like animation
You can animate a vector object but you can’t do it using vector tools.
For animation purposes, use of a vector layer results in the raster projection of the vector image being used and you can’t animate a vector layer itself.
You can use an Animated Transform Mask which then operates on the raster projection.
So, using an Animated Transform Mask and the Animation Curves Docker, you can apply all the Free Transform operations to it, i.e. Move, Rotate, Scale and Shear.
Caution: Until you get to know it, it’s very confusing.
What you can’t do is vector operations such as adjusting the Bezier controls that define the curvature of vector lines or the location of nodes/vertices or any other vector properties of the vector object.
e.g. (at 20 fps, a bit low perhaps)
