I found the answer, #TILT #friction

"Layers are special group types. You should use them whenever you want the group to be rasterized before being drawn or when you need to apply an effect to the group. Now layers do take into account the opacity parameter."

friction.graphicsTipsFriction is a powerful and versatile motion graphics application that allows you to create vector and raster animations for web and video.

steps using #friction, a 2d animation package and #inkscape.
The bike was restructured from an #openclipart #graphic.

1) use inkscape to separated the wheels from the frame, putting each is a .svg file by themselves.
2) linked each file into friction; scale and position as needed.
3) parented the wheels to the frame
4) animated the rotate attritube with an equation
5) add path followPath to the frame.

simple after the first 3 days:-)

starting to learn #friction a motion graphics package.
So far all the "bugs" I've found have been operator errors and misunderstandings.

I have a #svg graphic of a bicycle I found on #openclipart following a path that was made from a #gps
track off an #android phone using #viking to view a #OSM map and route and turned into a svg path in #gimp & #inkscape.

Yet to do;
turn the png frames into the video using #shotcut and some music and posted to a nextcloud server.

More #friction2d tips on #peertube

Thanks to @tonton for showcasing the power of #opensource #foss and how open file formats remove the barriers that are common in commercial applications.

This video shows how files from #inkscape can be imported or linked, which works very much like a dynamic link in #aftereffects ... where changes made to the original are updated in #friction

The application is going thru heavy development, but it's heading in an amazing direction!
