ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Synfig

Synfig is a special computer program that helps people create moving pictures, just like in cartoons and movies. It's like having your own drawing studio inside your computer!

It works by having you draw individual pictures, or 'frames', of a character or scenery. Then, the program will put all these frames together so that they look like they are moving. It's like looking at a flip book, where each page has a slightly different picture and when you flip through the pages quickly, it looks like a moving picture.

But Synfig can do much more than just flip books! It also allows you to create different backgrounds, add music and sound effects, and even create special visual effects like explosions or water droplets.

So with Synfig, you can create your very own cartoons, movies or animations, which can be shared with your friends and family, or even on the Internet.
