Publisher's Description

Synfig is a powerful, industrial-strength vector-based open-source 2D animation software package, designed from the ground-up for producing feature-film quality animation with fewer people and resources.

2D Animation has traditionally been very expensive because every frame must be drawn by hand. Even with today´s digital inking and painting software, the process still relies on individuals hand-drawing each frame. This laborious task is called "tweening".

Synfig eliminates the task of manual tweening, producing smooth, fluid motion without the animator having to draw out each frame individually. This allows you to produce 2D animation with fewer people while producing art of a higher quality.

 
FreewareFiles tested Synfig Animation Studio 0.63.05 on 2012-05-10 using leading antivirus scanners and found it 100% Clean. It does not contain any form of malware, spyware, viruses, trojans, etc. We will re-test each updated version and remove the award as well as the program if found infected.

Pros:  None

Cons:  None

Other Thoughts:  Nice vector based animation software comparable in many ways to Toon Boom studio. I haven't used it much yet, but, some of the animations I've seen on YouTube are quite good. One plus is that there are video tutorials online, including YouTube. Further, the fact that you don't have to draw each frame would be a great time saver to amateur animators. (As opposed to hand drawn cell software such as Pencil)
On the minus side, in previous versions there was a lack of audio integration meaning you have to do the soundtrack>video editing in another program such as VirtualDub or Windows Movie Maker. Didn't see anything in the changelogs on the site that would indicate a change in this area.
But, this is free, Toon Boom is not. If you're looking for something to get your feet wet for free, this would probably be a good place to start.
