Just use a desktop recording application for that.
I think you were thinking about something more sophisticated than I had in mind. I decided that I would just save a png at intervals in my painting (maybe every time I merge my layers into the background). Then after words I could edit them into a video or something like that. If that turns out to be interesting I might come back to you all and ask about a way to just output the merge layer. > Something that might be worth considering is to save a snapshot (maybe just > a thumbnail even) of the fully rendered image every 5 minutes of active > painting.

It is no priority (at the moment) for me at all. I am now only interested in playing with MyPaint. Later I hope to come back to this issue since I have several Android devices and I think it would be cool to have my paintings as a dynamic background. I only mentioned it because MyPaint seemed like a good way to produce those painting/backgrounds and because I didn't think of it until I started looking at MyPaint. _______________________________________________ Mypaint-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/mypaint-discuss
