 ==Synfig Animation file format==
-It is not the interest of this article to show you how's the {{l|Sif_Format|synfig animation file format}}. For the moment you should only need to know that the file extension is .sif and that it is XML formatted text file. For space saving it is saved and loaded un gzip format under the extension of .sifz.

 == Synfig  the CLI renderer==
-Although {{l|Synfig CLI syntax|Synfig CLI}} (command line interface) is an independent application from Synfig Studio it is worth to have it installed in your system. In fact, both share the same libraries to produce the output renders, one (the GUI) to the screen output and also to the file output and the other (the CLI) just the file output.

 The syntax of usage is the typical one with optional parameters that just need an input file and an output filename in most of the cases.
-One of the things that makes synfig CLI great is the ability to render large files without take your computer with your attention. Also if the render is quite long and there is any possible error (for example power supply) you can always continue rendering later using the CLI in where the animation render ended (this is only possible if you use a image sequence render target). It is explained in some of the tips of the {{l|Tips}} page.
