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. 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. Synfig Studio (also known as Synfig) is a free and open-source vector-based 2D animation software. It is created by Robert Quattlebaum with additional contributions by Adrian Bentley.

Synfig Studio is a powerful open source application for creating high quality 2D animations with bitmap and vector graphics.

The program speeds up the animation process by removing the need to create each frame individually. Instead you can have Synfig Studio generate your frames itself by morphing from one image to another, or applying one or more transformations to individual shapes (rotation, scale etc).

Alternatively, if you'd like to use a frame-by-frame source, the program's tracing tools will help you convert it into vector shapes which you can then manipulate with its other tools.

Features include a comprehensive bone system, bitmap painting engine, path-based gradients, a wide range of layers ('geometric, gradients, filters, distortions, transformations, fractal and a few others'), while High Dynamic-Range Imaging reportedly delivers 'better lighting effects, and improved color composition'.

Version 1.3.6 changes include:

Verdict:

Synfig Studio is a versatile application which can help you produce anything from a simple web animation (move this object from here to there) to a professional film-quality animated movie. It's also vast and takes time and effort to learn, but if you have the motivation then there's plenty of high quality documentation to explore.

Software Overview

Main Features

• Import JPEG, PNG, BMP, WAV, and MP3 formats into your animations
• Create animations with layers, gradients, distortions, and filters
• Apply advanced lighting effects and sync a soundtrack with your animation

Synfig Studio is an open source application used to create professional 2D animations. The program allows you to use vector and bitmap artwork to produce animations instead of the frame-by-frame method.

Synfig Studio allows you to save your animations as SIF (default project), SIFZ (project compressed with gzip), and SFG (compressed with zip) files. You can import several image formats such as PNG, JPEG, BMP, and SVG into your project. Most of the elements in Synfig Studio are vector-based and all of its layers are parametrically generated, which means the only pixelation that will occur when changing the resolution of a project is in your imported raster images. The application features various types of layers, gradients, distortions, filters, and transformations for creating your animation. Synfig Studio also comes with full support for gradient paths, which makes it easier for you to add soft shading to animation without having to paint it on in every frame.

The software provides High Dynamic-Range Imaging (HDRI), which results in better lighting effects and color composition. Synfig Studio also provides some basic audio features. You can import the OGG, MP3, and WAV formats and sync your animation with a soundtrack using Sound Layer.

Synfig Studio is a free tool that gives 2D animators the functionality of a commercial program. Although it's easy-to-use it won't instantly make you a professional animator, but when you do refine your technique Synfig Studio gives you the functionality required to create movie-quality animations.
