synfig

Vector based 2D animation package

synfig is a vector based 2D animation package. It is designed to be capable of producing feature-film quality animation. It eliminates the need for tweening, preventing the need to hand-draw each frame. synfig features spatial and temporal resolution independence (sharp and smooth at any resolution or frame rate), high dynamic range images, and a flexible plugin system. This package contains the renderer used to convert synfig .sif files to raster images, videos and other formats. Layer types include geometric, gradient, filter, distortion, transformation, fractal and others. Output targets include JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, PPM, DV, OpenEXR, ffmpeg (MPEG1), libavcodec (AVI), imagemagick (MIFF), yuv420p and others.
