	This is a tutorial the "Write On" effect. This tutorial was actually written while using synfigstudio-0.63.00.exe (you can download the Windows executable at http://sourceforge.net/projects/synfig/files/binaries/windows-binaries/ ). I am assured by the experts that it will work equally well on the current release -0.63.02.exe. Note, however, some of the Synfig icons have changed since -0.63.00.exe.

 Give a name and description for your canvas, then click "Apply"   Go to the "Time" tab and make sure to edit "End Time". Change "5s" to whatever number of seconds you want the duration of your animation to be.
-If you are going to import a picture to trace (as I did on the North and South America map), I recommend you change the image size to match that imported drawing.  If the drawing is very large, just change the image size to match the proportions of the imported image.  Also (in the case of a large image to trace) make sure the that Synfig will automatically scale that image to your canvas size.  At the top of the toolbox, ->File ->Setup  ->Misc tab-> check box that says “scale to canvas size”.  If you are not going to import a picture to trace, don’t worry about any of this.

 Open Synfig Studio.  First in the tool box, change the interpolation to “Linear”.  Mine defaults to “TCB”.

 Now we have a bit of work to do in the Params panel before we start animation.  Make sure your new layer is highlighted.  Next in the Params panel as shown below:

 Expand the Width Points List by clicking on the arrow.  Do the same for Width points 001 and 002.  Your screen should then look like the picture below:

 Now, let us jump back to the first Keyframes by clicking the (JMP) in the first Keyframes line.  At this first Keyframe we want to change the position of the width ducks from 0 and 1 (as we set them earlier) to 0 and 0 as shown below:
 [[File:WriteOn17.jpg]]
 Note that when you make a change to the above values you will oftentimes have to re-expand the widthpoints.  The red arrow shows the value you changed (from 1 to zero) , the green arrow shows the waypoints you created (this particular shape indicates that you are in the linear interpolation mode), the blue dashed arrow shows the time of the selected ke yframe (which happens to be the start time), and the orange arrow shows the Keyframe where the first Bline will be complete.
