ANIMATION
- _______________ ______________ software is freely
available software for which people can download, edit and re-release
the source code. Such software
usually has a community of volunteers surrounding it. While it is very likely to remain free
for a long time, some software does cease to get updates and becomes obsolete
– probably because no money is made when developing the software.
- Examples of open source animation software
are: _____________,
______________ and ______________.
- A ___________ is a famous image format that also
supports animation. It is
extremely popular because it is so easy to share over the internet (as
it works in browsers). It also
has a generally small file size.
- In regard to animation, FPS
stands for ________________ ______ _________________.
- In animation software, the
_________________ section or panel allows the user to add/remove frames. It also allows for the addition of
different layers.
- In animation, each
individual still image is called a(n) _____________.

paper to be able to trace a previous frame when animating on paper.

two file types that are generated by Adobe Flash.
- The _____ file extension is
for project files. Such files can

- The _____ file extension is
for Flash animations (as well as interactive files). Such files can be shared and viewed on
any computer. These files can
also be embedded on a webpage.
- In Flash, the drawing area

- _______________ tweening
involves automatically making an object move from one location to
another.
- _______________ tweening
involves automatically morphing one shape into another.
