Etro
By Caleb Sacks - April 3, 2021
The Eighth Update is here! In fact, this is the eighth update that has ever been released. We'll go over the most interesting changes here, but please check out the changelog to see the entire list!
TypeScript Support
After version 0.7.0 was released, Etro was ported to TypeScript. This means up-to-date type declaration files for TypeScript projects, as well as remaining compatibility with pure JavaScript projects (plus better documentation). No extra steps are required to use the framework in your TypeScript project.
Support for More Browsers
Etro now uses a polyfill for the web audio API so more browsers can use it.
Recording a Subsection
Movie#record now accepts a duration option that controls how long to record
for. By setting the movie's startTime and then recording with a duration, you
can record a part of the movie:
// Record from 5s to 8s
movie.startTime = 5
movie.record({ frameRate: 29, duration: 3 })
New Keyframe Syntax
You can now set the interpolation for a specific point in a keyframe set.
Before:
{ time1: value1, time2: value2 }
After:
new etro.KeyFrame([time1, value1, interpolationBetween1And2], [time2, value2])
The interpolation item is optional.

Unsubscribing from Events
