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