What is Kiriki?

Kiriki is an open-source 2D animation software designed for creating cutout and stop motion animated films. It features an intuitive and clean interface that allows animators to easily manipulate characters and objects in a scene.

Some key features of Kiriki include:

• Onion skinning to allow animators to see previous and next frames transparently overlaid on the canvas
• Camera motion and multiplane backgrounds to add depth and dynamism to scenes
• Skeleton based rigging and bone tools for cutout character animation
• Onion skinning for frame by frame stop motion animation
• Powerful vector and raster drawing tools for asset creation
• Support for importing common image, video, and audio formats

Despite its extensive capabilities, Kiriki aims to remain lightweight and easy to use. Its focus is on enabling animators to work efficiently and flexibly without unnecessary complexity. With its open-source development, Kiriki hopes to provide a free alternative for aspiring animators compared to costly proprietary software.
