Berlin, Germany
What it is
AnimationMaker is a free Linux application for creating animated presentations, including videos for YouTube, Vimeo, and crowdfunding pitches. Presentations can be exported as movies, animated GIFs, XML files, or HTML animations. Movie output supports formats handled by FFmpeg, including MPG, MP4, and AVI. HTML animations use SVG and GSAP, and exported SVG files can be embedded in an HTML page. The maker offers the latest Linux release at no cost, with DEB and RPM installers. Release 1.9.2 lists packages for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Fedora 34. Build instructions use Qt and include command-line steps for Debian or Ubuntu. The listed capabilities include motion graphics, custom asset upload, and video export. The project idea came from Adobe Edge. Feature requests can be sent to [email protected]. The contact section names Olaf Japp and gives a Berlin, Germany address.
