Welcome.
What system do you have? Linux?; what flavour? Windows?; which version? Mac? Which files did you download and install?
Moreover, which is the source of your downloaded and installed Synfig version? Did you download from our website or form other internet place?
If you’re in linux, simply write synfigstudio in one terminal prompt will run the program. If in Windows you should find it on the Start menu.

ok well i have windows, i downlaoded it from this site, and i think i found how to open it… is it just like a whole bunch of diffrent windows saying… like navigator… params, and stuff like that?.. cause if so i found out how to open it… now the only problem is actually figuring out how to use it… which i’m resding the stuff for on this site… if thats not it then… i still have no idea how to open it. please let me know! and thanks sooo much for your help!
It sounds like you might want to start by reading the wiki -
synfig.org/wiki/Doc:Getting_Started
There are other tutorials there, and some tutorials on YouTube also.
ok, thanks! i didn’t know there were some on youtube, and thanks for the link. looking forward to doing some animation that isn’t with stick figures… mabey with some filled in stick figures!
