Candlestick 1.0: A New Fork of Wick Editor

Wait that’s not shearing, it’s skewing. Maybe you should’ve use a skewing because I thought you could shear (to shear is to cut) clips.

I’ve always understood shearing to basically be skewing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_mapping

Paper.js has both shear and skew, but we just happen to be using the shear because it works a bit better.

From what I understand they both are the same thing. It’s just that one follows mathematical naming (shear mapping) and the other follows popular naming (skewing)

frame picker is available in @StickmanRed’s fork i believe. as for audio scrubbing… until that comes out then i hope you like x-sheets (I’ve yet to use one but they’re still useful): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnS49tHNejY

As we continue patching 1.3, we are also testing 1.4 in parallel. As some of you may already know from the Discord, 1.4 will overhaul brushes! Pante, one of our Discord moderators, made a demo on YouTube.

Keep in mind that the brushes are in alpha and not ready for real use - lots of things are subject to change, and you may lose progress. We will also be swapping between 1.4 alpha-testing and prereleasing patches to 1.3 (meaning, when we publicly test 1.3.1, the brush features will disappear). Please do not heavily rely on the test editor for your projects!!

With that said, the new brush functionality is available in the test editor as of now! If you don’t see it, we might be testing patches to 1.3 as previously noted.

Will there be audio scrubbing in the near future

Stickmanred’s fork has it, so if he donates the audio scrubbing feature then yes!

Would it be possible to add an alternate favicon for the test version? I have both bookmarked (the new one mainly for the newer brushes) and I mix 'em up constantly. Maybe a blue flame or something?

The newer brushes are gone on Test. I would say that Test itself is ‘nightly’, meaning every time the devs commit into the ‘development’ branch, it posts the version there, which isn’t really meant to be used.

Creating projects on and relying on test versions is doomed to fail pretty badly.

Does candlestick have a fixed mp4 export mode?
