Phantom2D 0.4 now available!

Introduction

Phantom2D is an open source motion graphics program.

It has a node based user interface that provides a very explicit control of rendering. View Editor, Clip Editor, Param Editor and Keyframe Editor are used to animate images and set rendering properties of nodes.

Upstream

Like all open source programs Phantom2D uses code from other authors. We would especially like to mention jhlabs for writing most of the bitmap filters used in this project.
