The gif shown is just a cropped preview - download the SVG and run in a web browser to see the real animation!

The magic effect, including tiny sparks (not very visible on the gif preview). Can be also used as a static resource as well - simply download the SVG and use at your leisure.

Fastest way to change the color is editing the file in a text editor and following the directions.

The animation is once again explained in the comments of the file - have fun!

As always, I would appreciate any input.

Oh, last question, I promise. My friend asked me the other day something about this, and I wasn't able to answer. He asked how to use it, per se - like, how to overlay it on a drawing. Kinda like how you do on your cinematics (I showed him your work the other day, since we were talking about animating ponies and all). Er, I'm bad at explaining. It's like this [link]

Well... It's just an asset like any other. Just drag and drop it. Pull it into the drawing in inkscape. The whole code tree necessary for the object copies, which means the animations that are inside will remain the same.

Hm, I've got a question. How did you do the preview image? The gif, I mean. How did you convert it?

Sorry, that's a pretty stupid question and all, but I tried Googling it and I'm still clueless.

I used my brother's Firefox addon. It's pretty straight forward - you can use it to export an SVG opened in Firefox atany number of images and at any framerate. I use it for all cinemagraphs right now. Sure, it can't handle transparency and it doesn't do scaling, but other than that? I can even make videos out of the frames.

That's pretty nifty! I managed to export one, yeah, but it sort of...disappeared? I can't seem to find it anywhere...?

It saves the files in some temporary directory. I think it should make a popup with the address when it's done - usually as "can't make a movie because you're missing the program, but the pictures are here:" thing.

It did pop up the address and was all ohh your movie was created, but when I try to go to the place it was saved, it says it doesn't exist. o_o

Weird. It should work. Maybe try some similar folder? I'm not sure about what kind of folder names it uses in other systems, but it can be traced pretty easily in linux. Maybe try screwing up with ffmpeg so it can't make the movie?
