Version: Synfig Studio 0.61.05
"Good, useful, lots more potential development."
Pros: Some users' comments do not do justice to this tool, and that's why I decided to comment. SynFig provides a sophistcated set of facilities for developing layered pictures with animations. "Tweening" (automatic smooth transition from one fixed picture to another to produce animation) is a powerful labour-saving technique. There is an installation video on their web site which, although low resolution, removes the uncertainty, and the Help menu connects to a series of textual/pictorial tutorials which progress through the multitude of features. There is also an ambitious set of enhancements in the development pipeline, including major speed improvements. Follow the links to the Wiki and you can see some of what can be achieved!
Cons: This is not for you unless you are prepared to take it seriously. It does require you to put some effort into learning, just as other sophistcated packages do, such as Gimp and Flash. Do check for updates on the synfig web site.

"looks good...using is something else"
Pros: The interface is intuitive enough and much like TheGimp. Set up is a by the book process but easy enough for those who are used to setting up apps in M$ or Linux.
Cons: Try to find full documentation for the WIN32 version... Oh yeah, hens teeth are easier to find. The description says 'lots of documentation out there' or something such... and even the 'wiki' is left hanging. Needs some serious attention this could be a life changing tool for a one-man studio like mine! I was hoping to use it for my anime/manga students.

Version: Synfig Studio 0.61.05
Pros: Very similar to Flash, so it's easy for me.
Cons: It'snot actually Flash
Summary: You can't actually do Flash animations. I don't know why this article says you can. It's something they're working on, but it's not implemented yet. If you can do Flash animations in this, someone please let me know how. I'm using Synfig Studio in Ku... read more
