How can indie devs make 2d animations quickly, or streamline the process?

• aseprite

  329 26,483 9.7 C++

  Animated sprite editor & pixel art tool (Windows, macOS, Linux)

  

• spine-runtimes

  65 4,141 9.5 C#

  2D skeletal animation runtimes for Spine.

  

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• spine-scripts

  2 327 6.8 JavaScript

  Scripts to export from PhotoShop and other tools to Spine's JSON data format.

  

What do you mean by "blocking out"? You can run PhotshopToSpine script to get art in Spine very quickly, you can use shortcuts such as holding ctrl->selecting image->placing bone which automatically parents the image slot to bone. Then you can use the fairly new Trace feature to automatically generate meshes if you don't want to do it manually.

• ECCV2022-RIFE

  12 4,057 5.8 Python

  ECCV2022 - Real-Time Intermediate Flow Estimation for Video Frame Interpolation

  

Yes but you need to use a different AI first. There are multiple AI like RIFE (there are apps for it if you don't like code) that will smooth out your animation. Then you can use those frames with Novel AI to get a more organic look in the end.
