1 synfig -- vector animation renderer
2
3synfig is a vector based 2D animation package. It is designed to be
4capable of producing feature-film quality animation. It eliminates the
5need for tweening, preventing the need to hand-draw each frame. synfig
6features spatial and temporal resolution independence (sharp and smooth
7at any resolution or framerate), high dynamic range images, and a
8flexible plugin system.
