Aseprite
Animated sprite editor & pixel art tool
Aseprite is a program to create animated sprites. Sprites are composed of layers & frames as separated concepts. Support for color profiles and different color modes: RGBA, Indexed (palettes up to 256 colors), Grayscale. Animation facilities, with real-time preview and onion skinning. Copy & paste. Drag & drop. Resize palette. Palette entries with alpha value. Select color harmonies. Create light and shadows with the shading ink. Create perfect strokes for pixel-art. Avoid extreme pixel distortions when rotating tiny sprites. Create patterns repeating the image in a 3x3 grid. Create custom brushes for dithering. Composite layers to create color effects. Open or save a sequence of images. Create animations and save them as .gif files. Export your work to sprite sheets in .png and .json files. Recovery your sprites in case of crash. Integrate Aseprite in your assets pipeline with the command-line interface (CLI). Store several animations in one texture atlas. -

three.js
JavaScript 3D library
three.js is a lightweight and easy-to-use JavaScript 3D library with its own default WebGL renderer. It works by creating a scene with a camera and a geometric cube, the latter of which is added to the scene. This will become the animated object within the scene. A WebGL renderer is created for the scene and the camera, with an added viewport to the document.body element. Finally, the cube is animated within the scene for the camera. A plethora of examples can be found in the project’s website (https://threejs.org/) which use Canvas 2D, SVG and CSS3D renderers that the library also provides. -

GLMixer
Graphic Live Mixer
GLMixer performs real time graphical blending of several movie clips and of computer generated graphics. Drop video files in the mixing workspace and place them in a circular area to change their opacity ; if you selects two videos, moving them together performs a fading transition. This principle generalizes to a large number of videos. Direct interaction with the video allows to be fast and reactive, and to move and deform them on screen. The output of your operations is shown in the output window, typically displayed in full-screen on an external monitor or a projector. But the output can also be saved as a video file. Control GLMixer through network using OpenSoundControl, and generate graphics with ShaderToy GLSL code. Download : https://sourceforge.net/projects/glmixer/files/ Please note GLMixer is discontinued and superseded by vimix https://brunoherbelin.github.io/vimix/ -

WOW.js
Reveal CSS animation as you scroll down a page
Reveal animations when you scroll. Easily customize animation settings like style, delay, length, offset, iterations, etc. By default, you can use it to trigger animate.css animations. But you can easily change the settings to your favorite animation library. Smaller than other JavaScript parallax plugins, like Scrollorama (they do fantastic things, but can be too heavy for simple needs). Super simple to install, and works with animate.css, so if you already use it, that will be very fast to setup. Fast execution and lightweight code, the browser will like it. It just take seconds to install and use WOW.js! Once purchased on UpLabs, you’ll receive a commercial license PDF and be all set to use WOW.js in your commercial applications. If you want to use WOW.js to develop commercial sites, themes, projects, and applications, the Commercial license is the appropriate license. With this option, your source code is kept proprietary. -

Manim
A community-maintained Python framework for creating animations
A community-maintained Python library for creating mathematical animations. Manim is a free and open-source project originally written by Grant Sanderson. It is now maintained by the Manim Community and permissively released under the MIT license. Manim was originally created by Grant Sanderson as a personal project and for use in his YouTube channel, 3Blue1Brown. As his channel gained popularity, many grew to like the style of his animations and wanted to use manim for their own projects. However, as manim was only intended for personal use, it was very difficult for other users to install and use it. Manim, or ManimCE refers to the community-maintained version of the library. This is the version documented on this website; the package name on PyPI is manim. ManimGL is the latest released version of the library developed by Grant “3b1b” Sanderson. It has more experimental features and breaking changes between versions are not documented. -

Typed.js
A JavaScript typing animation library
Typed.js is a library that types. Enter in any string, and watch it type at the speed you've set, backspace what it's typed, and begin a new sentence for however many strings you've set. Rather than using the strings array to insert strings, you can place an HTML div on the page and read from it. This allows bots and search engines, as well as users with JavaScript disabled, to see your text on the page. You can pause in the middle of a string for a given amount of time by including an escape character. CSS animations are built upon initialization in JavaScript. But, you can customize them at your will! -

CountUp.js
Animates a numerical value by counting to it
CountUp.js is a dependency-free, lightweight JavaScript class that can be used to quickly create animations that display numerical data in a more interesting way. Install via npm/yarn using the package name countup.js. Despite its name, CountUp can count in either direction, depending on the start and end values that you pass. CountUp.js supports all browsers. MIT license. CountUp v2 is distributed as an ES6 module because it is the most standardized and most widely compatible module for browsers, though a UMD module is also included. To run module-enabled scripts locally, you'll need a simple local server setup, because otherwise you may see a CORS error when your browser tries to load the script as a module. CountUp is also wrapped as a UMD module in ./dist/countUp.umd.js and it exposes CountUp as a global variable on the window scope. -

Vivus.js
JavaScript library to make drawing animation on SVG
Vivus is a lightweight JavaScript class (with no dependencies) that allows you to animate SVGs, giving them the appearence of being drawn. There are a variety of different animations available, as well as the option to create a custom script to draw your SVG in whatever way you like. Every path element is drawn at the same time with a small delay at the start. This is currently the default animation. Each line is drawn synchronously. They all start and finish at the same time, hence the name `sync`. Each path element is drawn one after the other. This animation gives the best impression of live drawing. To give more freedom, it's possible to override the animation of each path and/or the entire SVG. It works a bit like the CSS animation timing function. But instead of using a cubic-bezier function, it use a simple JavaScript function. It must accept a number as parameter (between 0 to 1), then return a number (also between 0 and 1). It's a hook. -
