What AnimationMaker is

AnimationMaker is a Linux application for creating animated presentations, including videos for YouTube or Vimeo and pitch videos for crowdfunding campaigns. It can export a presentation as a movie, animated GIF, XML file, or HTML animation. Movie exports support formats handled by FFmpeg, including MPG, MP4, and AVI. HTML output uses SVG and GSAP, and an exported SVG can be embedded in an HTML page.

The maker offers the latest Linux release for free, with DEB and RPM installers listed for that release. Release 1.9.2 lists packages for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Fedora 34. The project repository provides build instructions using Qt, including command-line steps for Debian or Ubuntu. The product supports motion graphics, custom asset uploads, and video export. Its stated use cases center on presentation videos, while its export choices include both video and web-oriented formats. Feature requests can be sent to the maker by email at [email protected].
