Animation playground
We’d like to show you a new way to create hand-drawn animation. So playful you’ll think it’s a toy, but it's secretly a robust app with a reimagined UI for animators and creators.
Wonderfully musical
Taking inspiration from music creation tools, using Looom feels more like playing an instrument than operating software - exploring lines, shapes and colors through loopable time and rhythm.
Everyone in the loop
Looom is all about looping animation with a smile. It was designed for professionals and beginners of any age, and is already being used by some influential indie animators.
"MindCandy Volume 1: PC Demos." The movie explores the definition and roots of an artistic computer sub-culture known as the demoscene, a community that's given me endless inspiration since the 1980s.
Ezgif.com is simple online GIF maker and toolset for basic animated GIF editing. Here you can create, resize, crop, reverse, optimize, and apply some effects to gifs.
Gifski converts video frames to GIF animations using pngquant's fancy features for efficient cross-frame palettes and temporal dithering. It produces animated GIFs that use thousands of colors per frame.
Release : https://github.com/ImageOptim/gifski/releases
Usage
I haven't finished implementing proper video import yet, so for now you need ffmpeg to convert video to PNG frames first:
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 frame%04d.png
and then make the GIF from the frames:
gifski -o file.gif frame*.png
See gifski -h for more options. The conversion might be a bit slow, because it takes a lot of effort to nicely massage these pixels. Also, you should suffer waiting like the poor users who will be downloading these huge files.
Fractorium and its associated command line tools can render fractal flames using the CPU, or OpenCL. In order to use OpenCL, you must have an nVidia card that has the Fermi architecture or later, or a recent AMD card. If you attempt to use an unsupported card, you will receive an error message and the CPU renderer will be used instead.
Chaotica is a next-generation fractal art application, designed for both novices and professional artists.
Novice users can enjoy editing randomised fractals to produce stunning HD wallpapers and animations.
Professional users will particularly value the fast, modern rendering engine. High quality animations and huge images for print are easily produced, with real-time imaging controls that will dramatically accelerate your workflow.
What is fractal art?
Fractal art is a digital art medium with a very rich creative space, based on geometry and recursion.
Chaotica's user interface abstracts much of the maths away to provide a fluid artistic process.
Since its invention in 1981, IFS fractals have been popularised by Flam3 and Apophysis. Chaotica extends the creative possibilities of these programs in a powerful, production-oriented environment.

Gifsicle is a command-line tool for creating, editing, and getting information about GIF images and animations. Making a GIF animation with gifsicle is easy:
gifsicle --delay=10 --loop *.gif > anim.gif
Extracting framesfrom animations is easy too:
gifsicle anim.gif '#0' > firstframe.gif
You can also editanimations by replacing, deleting, or inserting frames:
gifsicle -b anim.gif --replace '#0' new.gif
Some more gifsicle features:
Two other programs are included with gifsicle: gifview is a lightweight animated-GIF viewer which can show animations as slideshows or in real time, and gifdiff compares two GIFs for identical visual appearance.
