The new development version of Synfig Studio is available for download now!
Highlights of this version:
- Stability Improvements and Bugfixes: Fixed an issue with Blur Layer, which was leading to result being cut off or blur not being applied as expected (see issue #3682), fixed a critical issue where the application would crash when a Bevel layer was positioned at the bottom of the layer stack.
- Feature Enhancements: Added a saturation parameter to the Color Correct Layer, Sketch Tool got ability to redo user actions, introduced an Absolute Converter for angle, integer, and real values.

This release is made possible thanks to many people who supported Synfig development with contributions through Download page, Patreon and OpenCollective platform.
Hi, please implement a traditional frame-by-frame animation option using brushes and erasers, like in Toon Boom and Adobe Animate. This greatly enhances the use of mixed techniques combining traditional and cutout animation. I’m a professional animator, and this is something Synfig is missing.
Nice to see Synfig 1.5.5 focusing on stability while still adding a few useful tools. The Bevel layer crash fix sounds especially welcome for anyone working on larger projects. I’ll probably give the new build a try and see how the workflow feels. For some unrelated evening browsing, I’ve also been checking out https://pocketwin.org.uk.
