About

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.

Features:

  • Can manipulate vector and bitmap artwork
  • Automatic tweening (independent from FPS)
  • Multitude of layers of various types (geometry primitives, shapes, gradients, fratals)
  • Full-featured bone system
  • Filters and effects for compositing (blurs, distortions, color manipulation, masks)
  • All color operations use High Dynamic-Range Imaging (HDRI)
  • Pentablet-friendly tools
  • Sound support
  • Linking data on file or parameter-level
  • Automatic animation using mathematical functions

Permissions

2 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

  • full access to your entire file system
    --filesystem=host
  • X11 display: X11 lets apps read input and windows of other apps
    --socket=x11
  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc
  • Wayland display
    --socket=wayland
  • audio
    --socket=pulseaudio
  • X11 display, only when Wayland is unavailable
    --socket=fallback-x11
