I uploaded a tutorial on how to use Shotcut (and Paint.NET) to animate diagrams, charts etc. I used this method in one video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNsEjE6SJfM) and since I did not see any tutorial for this type of animation, I created this tutorial.
It is my first tutorial, so please excuse any unclarities . https://youtube.com/watch?v=PK6OT1BssDo
Feel free to ask questions, I will try my best to answer them .
Hi @samth - a really nice tutorial - thanks!! Just watched it twice and gave it a “like”!! I picked up a few tips there. The grid maker plug-in in Paint.net looks really useful. Thanks for creating this, it will be a valuable resource. And great use of the JR transition by the way
Thank you ! A compliment from you means a lot, since you produced so many helpful tutorials.
I wanted to use it for quite some time and thought, why not give a nod to you .
I expand my tutorial to include some additional instructions for people using GIMP, which is available on more platforms than Paint.NET. @Paul2 Thanks for your suggestion!
Separating the background:
The steps are very similar, so this GIF should be enough:
Make sure you create the grid on a distinct layer to be able to modify (resizing, moving etc.) the grid separately.
You can either use the colour picker to determine the grid colour before you open the grid dialogue or you use the colour picker in the dialogue; in that case you will have to change to the layer containing the original diagram.
