Synfig Studio 0.61.05 | 16.5 MB
Installing this app is not for the faint-of-heart or casual users. It requires four different installer files, Gtk , Gtkmm, Synfig Core, and Synfig Studio.
Once you get past the setup, however, Synfig is a powerful program for those who want to create Flash animations for free. It's neither easier nor harder to use than Flash, but--also like Flash--it requires some diligent study before you can begin using the toolbox effectively. To help you get there, there's a huge volume of documentation and tutorials available at the Synfig Web site.
The app seems to be able to do most--if not all--that its expensive Flash cousin can do, at least as far as animation goes. Features include spatial and temporal resolution independence, pen tablet-sensitive tools, path-based gradients, layering, and an interface that's modular, allowing you to maximize screen real estate. It would be nice to see some more shape tools in future versions, but for a free animator that doesn't devour your system resources, Synfig is absolutely worth trying.
ynfig Studio is a vector based 2D animation program. 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 Studio features spatial and temporal resolution independence (sharp and smooth at any resolution or framerate), high dynamic range images, and a flexible plugin system.
Note:You will also need to download Synfig Core, GTK+ Runtime Environment and Gtkmm installers. Install all three before installing Synfig Studio. Beta or prerelease software is not intended for inexperienced users, as the software may contain bugs or may potentially damage your system. We strongly recommend that users exercise caution and save all mission-critical data before installing or using this software.
