Sweet animated Characters and overlays for your livestream!
Hello,
This is my first update for StreamAnimations since its release and many changes and improvements have been made.
Among other things, the following bugs have been fixed:
If you run an animation in multiple scenes it will run faster.
Settings are now always saved when leaving the menu
and many other small things that I don't even want to list here.
What's new in terms of functions?
[h3]There is a new section: Overlays![/h3]

There is a single new colorful menu item.
If you call this up, you get to the new “Colorfull” settings menu.

[*] You can select the desired pattern: horizontal/vertical lines, circular and square.
[*] By changing the direction of movement, you can determine whether the colors run towards or away from the center, e.g. in the case of the circular shape.
[*] There are many other settings such as blur or the brightness of the color gradient.
[*] You can set the step width - whether absolutely soft color transitions or tight ones, you can always see the result live in the preview window.
[*] What if you don't like all the colors? You can of course also simply limit the color space in which the color gradient moves.
[*] You can use the format templates to create a large color gradient in the desired image format. You can choose between 16:9 in portrait and landscape format as well as a square area.

As I also know that floating surfaces can be a bit boring, there is also the [b]“cutout”[/b] tool.
You can access this via the button with the scissors symbol.
There are some ready-made patterns to choose from.

[b]But you can also create your own![/b]
The principle is very simple!
Use a drawing program of your choice and create a new image with a black background.
Draw the desired contours or patterns in white.
Then save the whole thing as a jpeg file and load it into StreamAnimations.

As a result, you will only see the previously white-painted areas as an animation.
You can create such an image with the integrated drawing program
or load a ready-made jpeg file.

Once you have your desired color gradient and contour, you can display the result in the streaming software like all other StreamAnimations.
I hope you have a colorfull day and much fun with StreamAnimations!
