> Hi! Have you considered to use [MorevnaProject's version of Pencil](https://github.com/morevnaproject/pencil)as the base?
> 
> We have tested it already on our projects for two years already and it have following improvements:
> 
> - Basic CLI support. Allows to automatically integrate with other software like [Remake](http://github.com/morevnaproject/remake)
> - Export to video file. Audio layers are mixed with video. To select video format use an ‘appropriate’ filename extension (ex: .avi, .mov, .mpg, .mp4…), movie framerate is selectable (but output codecs don’t support all framerates, a safe and usual choice should be 24, 25 or 30 fps).
> - Audio playback fixed.
> - Fixed saving animation (removed ‘optimization’, now saving is slower but safer)
> - FPS parameter is saved in the project file now.
> - 3 ‘layers’ of onion skinning. Configurable trough edit-\>preferences-\>tools, to remove a layer set its opacity to 0.
> - Import movie function. Frames are imported at the current fps, there is no check to limit the imported frames.
> - Duplicate keyframe function.
> - Fix artifacts happening when moving bitmap layer.
> - Keybindings to control the applications
> - Fix transperency bug when export to png sequence
> 
> Some of those fixes are patches found on the [old Pencil forum](http://pencil-animation.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1627), some of them our own enhancements.

The code base of pencil I used is already based on Morevna Project’s version.

Very thanks to Morevna Project, they did a great job.

This letter reminds me that we should put the Morevna Project’s link in the “About” page.

I was looking at that link and I wondered how much had they already accomplished with it?

Any chance of me getting a look at a version compiled for Mac?
