Description
UPDATED 10/31/2011: Made a few enhancements based on feedback below. This involved fixing her cutie mark, stiffening her hooves, fixing the right hind leg, adding an overlay over her horn, and improving the blink animation.The source file has been updated below, but the original source and gif can still be downloaded here:

=======================
My most ambitious test of Synfig Studio yet, featuring Twilight Sparkle in her regular walking animation.
It took a while to do only because I was still getting used to using this program for something more complicated than stick figures, but once I got the ball rolling it was fairly easy-going. [although it still needs more polish, of course] ^^
All the animation was done using only 5 waypoints (6, if you count the blink), with the hair and cutie mark bobbing being handled by Warp Distort layers. The additional 5 waypoints needed to include the blink animation were added by duplicating the original 5 waypoints -- note that the Time Loop layer is only there to create the Youtube video rendering, but is not needed for the regular GIF render.
Also, since these characters aren't mine, the source is free for anyone in the community to use if they want...

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning!
Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental
hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the
staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so
they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the
machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died.
Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on
a Monday night at 12:00 a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you
and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and
she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if you copy and paste
this to ten comments in the next ten minutes you will have the best day of your life tomorrow.You
will either get kissed or asked out, if you break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your room

I never knew you did puppet animation. I have always been curious as to how it works with Flash itself. This looks great, by the way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehe... yep, I USED to do tweened animation, using Synfig rather than Flash.
Thank you very much, although granted I did this eons ago. ^^

This is some really good animation, and Twilight's face looks like she is stressed out about something.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. ^^
It's actually based on an animation in the show where's she's chiding Spike, but when you think of it she looks stressed out half the time anyway.

Ok...I guess you can add that. ^_^

Based on this Animation, I've made a Spray/Graffiti for Left4Dead2/TeamFortress2, that should also work on other Source-Games:

Ah, that should work! Also, glad to see you here in DA.

Well according to the CC-BY license they can remix without letting me know,... they just have to attribute. The person didn't attribute, but then the down-sampling is pretty awful, so I'm gonna assume the fella is a bit on the lazy side
It's alright, though, Twilight doesn't belong to me anyway. ^^

can you do this again
only the slides are in a line from the first slide to the last one

Um, this GIF is over a year old now, so I can't say as I will do anything with it anymore. The source is there to download, though, so anyone can modify it to do whatever.

Awesome! It's this that inspired me to start trying to make a pony animation in synfig!

Ah, thank you for doing that! I'm so glad someone took up the mantle, since I couldn't continue. ^__^
Thank you for your support of Synfig. :3

Twilight Sparkle. A pony, on a mission.. A mission to figure out why she's walking in the first place.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, she's just being super-serious here, as per usual. ^__^

Thank you. ^^
Although this is only a retrace of an existing show animation -- I find my original comic to be much more amazing than this ol' thing.

It's still something I'd never be able to do TT u TT

Sure you can. Synfig is free and not terribly hard to use -- you'll be doing animations in less than an hour after reading the tutorials. Also, the Synfig source file for this animation is in the description.

lol, surely not. ^^
[unless you mean a Synfig source file, in which case knock yourself out, hehe)

Have you an animation about a running pony?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Only of Octavia, but I had in mind doing Applejack as the running pony before I lost interest in animation.

Very cool!
Damn, what I would give to be able to know how to make one of these of my OC :/
To draw for each and every single frame would take a month at least. >.<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, well of course, this isn't 1920 anymore. We don't draw frame-by-frame anymore, now we tween instead.
In my descriptioin I have links to the program I used to make this (Synfig), plus the source file for the walk sequence too. If you get the first and study the latter, I'm sure you'll discover this isn't as hard as it looks -- you can easily get a simple animatino going in less than a few hours.
