A much awaited re-designed camera system, timeline dragging and exposure improvements, adjustable layer opacity, repositioning content of multiple frames, perspective grids, and more.

Abstract: The document is an attempt at defining the concept behind the Pencil project. It is designed to serve as a reference and guideline for contributors of the Pencil project. I will revise it as it becomes necessary during the evolution of the project and following discussions with contributors and users of Pencil. It is currently based on my original vision and discussions with Oluseyi Sonaiya and Ian Moore.
