[xubuntu-users] Animation Program

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

I don't know what kind of animation software Jasc Animation Shop3 is.
I suspect that pixel graphic software such as Gimp or Krita could
maybe use layers to generate animated gifs in a flip book/stop motion
style. IOW you need to draw each picture. However, there are a lot of
tools with automation features for 2D as well as 3D animations. When I
tested synfig studio, perhaps more than a decade ago, it was way too
buggy and blender was way too complicated. IIRC I never tested any of
the other software. I installed white_dune, since I read that it is
used by primary school children, but at the moment I'm doing a music
band project with primary school children instead.

Some time ago I used Folioscope on an iPadPro 3rd generation instead of
Linux. It's nice, but very primitive and limited. It generates animated
gifs.
