I just noticed this kickstarter for FOSS APNG tools: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/374397522/apngasm-foss-animated-png-tools-and-apng-standardi APNG is a format for making PNG animations, sort of like a "better animated GIF", with 24-bit colour, real transparency, and possibility for smaller file sizes with the same image. They've reached their minimum goal, but not yet the following stretch goal: $12,500: GIMP implementation complete with a robust animation editor (that can hopefully be used for other animation formats in the future such as WebP). They've got 10 days to go, and $3,710 left to be pledge, before they have enough to make a GIMP implementation (I'm assuming as a plugin?). (Also, for Inkscape people, they say at $32,000 they'll make "A keyframe animation editor with basic tween animation features for Inkscape complete with SVG+SMIL output and export to APNG".) -- Kevin Brubeck Unhammer GPG: 0x766AC60C
