Fascinating. It's always great to learn about new software for Linux that can do cool things I didn't before realize could be done with Free software.
Just a question -- is it possible to save animations with alpha channels so that, say you could put an animation on top of a recorded video using Cinelerra?

The Synfig 2D Animation package Posted Jul 12, 2007 13:45 UTC (Thu) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link] I would expect composition would be possible... Even if you had to do the equivelent of 'Blue screen' (or green) background for your animation. Were there is a will there is a way.
Cinerella should have nice composition features to enable you to do that.
Also Blender (the 3D animation suite) has image composition features also for doing things like this.
In fact if you have a nice backdrop it would be possible to do live action with a animated brackground if you wanted!
The Synfig 2D Animation package Posted Jul 13, 2007 5:35 UTC (Fri) by pabs (subscriber, #43278) [Link] Depends on the output format - PNG supports the alpha channel, but ffmpeg doesn't seem to, nor does the OpenEXR one.
I can't stress enough that we need more developers - the app is still quite buggy even after dooglus fixed a ton of bugs. It is still very slow and needs someone to work out how to optimise it.
I encourage everyone reading this article to take a look at the code and come to the meeting.
