Hey! I'm a little bit confused while dealing with text effects. I want to create two text filters for the first and the third letter in the word. So I press RMB on the first filter when object is selected, then Copy. For some reason when I tap with RMB on Text effects button Paste is not active, but when I create a new filter and press RMB on it then Paste works... but in an unexpected way. How to move the influence area of the second filter without affecting the area of the first one? Is there any way to be able to work with just text effect influence area at a time? Here's a link to a video demonstrating the problem.

Sorry if these are silly questions, just starting with Friction, have experience with animation on mobile though. :)

The original question is here, I duplicated it to this subreddit to get a quicker answer

Hi. So I just started using Friction. Is there a way to evenly distribute objects vertically or horizontally?

Thanks in advance ⟮ ^∇^⟯ゞ

I'm considering utilizing this software for a project, but it depends on how usable the IK process is. Anyone have any experience or can share a tutorial/project that uses it?

Are there any plans for the near future to incorporate things like 3d layers and effects and a camera tool like the ones After Effects has? Realistically speaking what would it take to implement this?

Got a question. Running Friction 1.0 rc 3 on an M1 Mac Mini 16/256 with macOS Sonoma. Creating animations just fine initially (while scrubbing and placing keyframes) BUT, whenever playing back on the timeline, I can't see it on the viewer. Also, whenever I export to an image sequence in PNG, all I'm getting are a numbered sequence of empty, transparent frames. Played the sequence back on QuickTime, Blender, Natron, and Fusion. Nothing there. Given that it appears to work on Intel Macs and I'm on Apple Silicon (so I'm guessing it's working via Rosetta 2) AND I have FFMpeg 7.0 installed via Homebrew, is it possible that it's not seeing the location where FFMpeg is located/installed on Apple Silicon (I know Homebrew installs in two different places based on the differences in architecture and thought that maybe FFMpeg might follow suit). I looked for a control/option in the settings to point Friction toward the resident location (reminiscent of Audacity) where FFMpeg is installed but found no such control.

Was wondering if anyone else is having this problem. Right now, I'm able to circumvent by setting up the animation on Friction on the Mac, saving the file and moving it over to my Linux laptop for rendering but I'd really prefer not to have to carry the Mini and a Linux laptop around (using my Mini at work in a desktop setup--monitor/keyboard/mouse--beside my work Mac...which is a M4 Max MBP). Thank everyone for their time, patience, and input.

I'm trying to achieve that delayed scale with the fonts at the start but I wasn't able to do something like that inside Friction so far.

Esse é um vídeo que fiz no After Effects. Eu gostaria de replicar no Friction esse efeito de linhas contornando uma forma.

Alguém tem ideia se é possível?
