• The primary application of Animate/Flash is web. Synfig uses vector graphics, but is for bitmap exporting (movies) which can't be easily transferred by web like Canvas/HTML5/JS, except you have a powerful hosting and bandwidth to share users with huge and CPU-demanding videos. Total lack of interactivity in animations is another problem. Guest • May 2017 • 3 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• It has good features like bones and stuffs. Most of all it's open source. Guest • Jul 2018 • 0 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree
