Sometimes in whiteboard animation videos they do bring-in cut-outs instead of sketching it.
So this plug-in does that:

Please use version 2 which fixes the major bug of when you choose a bring-in vector that isn't the active path.

this is great!

holy! you like it? it should be awesome for internet marketers or instructional video makes or anything else that can use whiteboard animation.
If you buy a program to use, it's like subscription based $29/month or $144/year.....so compared to that this is free ...it definitely has its place somewhere in that market i hope.

If you don't like the disconnect between moving a piece and the hand disappears to move another piece, you can just move a transparent piece from end point of first piece to start point of 2nd piece and you'll have the hand moving around like as if it needs to move from finishing 1st piece to get ready for 2nd piece.
like below:

Yeah I think will be useful and fun. There was the follow-path plug-in by Arakne but this is somehow easier to use.
Tested v1 so far, will play later more with the new one you uploaded, thank you!

If you join one animation with the next, double check the last frame of previous clip since i create a frame with no hand to show full work, you might want to delete that frame if you're making continuous animation out of many clips like this one.

Your having a knock-out year for new scripts Tin
Hey Nidhogg. If you used a random number generator to position your Ouija board pointer every time, it could actually do what Ouija boards are meant to do.

"Bring-in + Get-out"Copy last frame of bring-in animation over the background of the original image.
Ofnuts' vectors/edit/reverse strokes on the bring-in path.
Transparent layer for the get-out animation.
Join the animations.
I serve you a dinner for this awesome plug-in. You're not allowed to leave a crumble on table...

Thanks teapot, love yours too. You must have magical powers because I thought about how rifle scope would look!

Didn't even think about using a solid filled layer and cut out what you want to reveal like that...
that is how you did it right? teapot?

Quick simple test. Black filled layer & white circle.
Ran plug-in normally.
On the resulted animation image colour-to-alpha-all-layers script by Art, added background image on bottom,
saulgoode's combine background.

Oh I thought of doing it just with a large layer than image size with what you want to reveal cut out and move that layer around.

Yes that's right. The layer I'm moving had to be large so that it doesn't make gaps at the edges when it moves. I cropped the whole thing before saving.
To get more combinations I wonder if it would be neat if bring_in_animation.py had an option to paint on a layer mask like paint_paths_in_steps.py does?
I'm guessing the two scripts have quite a lot of commonality. The main difference being paint_paths_in_steps.py leaves a trail and bring_in_animation.py doesn't.
Just wondering if it would be worthwhile having it all in one script with all the various options in the one place. In the longer term that would save adding new options to two scripts.

Yeah that works too. I was trying to save RAM
Don't really know if there's big difference, but my desktop is from 2005 and pretty slow with huge layers.
When I launch G'mic I have to wait several seconds for the GUI to appear.

watching the scope site move around doesn't look natural to me. I think it's better to animate the background instead. What do you think?
