Synfig

Synfig Studio (also known as Synfig) is a free and open source 2D vector graphics and timeline-based computer animation program. Synfig is designed as a powerful industrial-strength solution for creating film-quality animation using a vector and bitmap artwork.

Synfig

Synfig Studio eliminates the need to create animation frame-by frame, allowing you to produce 2D animation of a higher quality with fewer people and resources. Synfig Studio is available for Windows, Linux and MacOSX. Synfig can render to video formats such as AVI, Theora and MPEG, as well as animated graphics formats such as MNG and GIF. It can also render to a sequence of numbered image files, using formats such as PNG, BMP, PPM and OpenEXR.

Synfig supports a multitude of layers of various types; geometric, gradients, filters, distortions, transformations, fractal and a few others. Full-featured bone system allows to create cutout animation using bitmap images or control your vector artwork.


Please see the associated text box of individual spoken tutorials on the website to decide the versions of software and OS to which it is applicable.

The Spoken Tutorial effort for Synfig is contributed by Saurabh Gadgil, Arthi Anbalagan and Shital Joshi from the Spoken Tutorial Project and is supported by Nancy Varkey from IIT Bombay.
