Fantavision is an animation program by Scott Anderson for the Apple II and published by Broderbund in 1985. [1] [2] [3] Versions were released for the Apple IIGS (1987), Amiga (1988), and MS-DOS (1988). [4] [5] [6]
Fantavision allows the creation of vector graphics animations using the mouse and keyboard. The user creates frames, and the software generates the frames between them. [3] Because this is done in real-time, it allows for creative exploration and quick changes. The program uses a graphical user interface in the style of the Macintosh with pull-down menus and black text on a white background.
Advertisements claimed Fantavision a revolutionary breakthrough that brings the animation features of " tweening" and "transforming" to home computers. [5]
Compute! in 1989 called Fantavision the best animation program for the IBM PC, although it noted the inability to draw curves. [6]
