Friction 1.0.0 RC 2 is now available

https://friction.graphics/releases/friction-100-rc2.html

"The idea of frictionlessness has very narcissistic “player character” vibes ... Because being actually touched, being inconvenienced, being emotionally moved, having your mind and perception changed means acknowledging your fellow human beings around you, realizing their differences to you and to recognize their value."

Bleak but true observations by @tante

Reminder : Initially forked from #Enve (2D animation) and alternative to #AfterEffects, #Friction (@friction) is « a powerful and versatile #MotionGraphics application that allows you to create vector and raster animations for web and video »

Belle découverte et très heureux d'avoir trouvé une alternative bien fichue à After Effects, youpi !!

It is horrible to see how artists are hostages of corporations in order to be able to use their tools to create. Submitting themselves to predatory practices like proprietary formats, software as a service licensing models, vendor lock-in

We have the power to change that! Support #floss projects like #Blender #Kdenlive #Krita #GIMP #Inkscape #Darktable #Ardour #Godot #Scribus #Natron #Friction #endof10 #linux

gimme some #friction ...

A @friction mograph test using text effect (a little too fast) !

Here is the friction project if anyone wants to take a look ! https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZ8IldZJIA7G6DSzW0dOOxx9Dt3g0q4kMM7

Friction is an open source 2d animation software, which could replace #aftereffect

@LinuxTorvaldIsGod I know that #GTK is very popular among developers on the #Linux platform, but isn't it possible to find alternatives for all of these applications [1]?

The #KDE / #QT ecosystem also has excellent applications (#Krita, #LibreOffice QT, #KDEnlive, #Shotcut, #QGIS, #DigiKam, #OBSStudio, #Friction, #PDF4QT, ...). There are many #Electron-based applications (#Chromium, #RStudio, #Slack, ...) and those applications using other toolkits (#Blender, ...)
