Synfig Studio is a free and open-source 2D animation software, designed as powerful industrial-strength solution for creating film-quality animation using a vector and bitmap artwork. It eliminates the need to create animation frame-by frame, allowing you to produce 2D animation of a higher quality with fewer people and resources.
Features:
- Can manipulate vector and bitmap artwork
- Automatic tweening (independent from FPS)
- Multitude of layers of various types (geometry primitives, shapes, gradients, fratals)
- Full-featured bone system
- Filters and effects for compositing (blurs, distortions, color manipulation, masks)
- All color operations use High Dynamic-Range Imaging (HDRI)
- Pentablet-friendly tools
- Sound support
- Linking data on file- or parameter-level
- Automatic animation using mathematical functions
