This is a page to discuss Synfig as it relates to Inkscape. General non-Inkscape discussion of Synfig should take place on Synfig's wiki.

Overview

(I'll import something off of Synfig's website later. Or someone else can. SnapSilverlight)

Similarities

  • File format is based upon XML.
  • Vector-based graphics software intended for artist use
  • Open Source / GPL

Differences

Intent
Synfig: 2D animation suitable for broadcast/film
Inkscape: SVG specification
Interface
Synfig: Focus is animation
Inkscape: Focus is illustration
Status
Synfig: In alpha demo - much is slated for change, and bugs are usually fatal.
Inkscape: A very stable, featureful beta. If it wasn't changing so rapidly, we'd call it "mature".
