Ask HN: Simple and Free Animation Creator
I am looking for a tool which is able to create simple 2D animations.
I would like to move a 2D shape on a definable path on a timeline.
My requirements are:
- Free of charge
- Runs on linux
- Export to mp4, svg or gif is possible
Already discovered:
- GIMP
- svgator.com (not free)
- amalive 5y agoBlender seems to have a decent 2d animation development environment with Grease Pencil now. Worth checking out - https://www.blender.org/features/grease-pencil/ https://www.blender.org/features/grease-pencil/
- egfx 5y agoYou can combine gif.com.ai with zimjs to do what you want to achieve. Sorry I can’t provide more instruction at the moment. But try a search for these techniques.
- krapp 5y agoYou could use Godot (or Unity, but Godot would be easier) which has 2d animation tools, then record it to OBS. Barring that, Blender?
- rchaud 5y agoGoogle Web Designer: https://webdesigner.withgoogle.com/ https://webdesigner.withgoogle.com/ Windows, Mac and Linux It's intended for creating HTML5 ads, but you can create whatever you want. The export is HTML, but you can use a screen recorder to export to video.
