Rerearch On Cross-Platform Animation File Format And Playback Technology

Animation as a content presentation is different with other traditional media such as text, images, because you can embed a variety of multimedia content such as video, audio, etc. into animation, so that more and more people like making or watching it. With the popularity of personal computers and mobile terminals, demand of animate is increasing fast, this demand is reflected not only in watching animation, but also in making animation. And most animation file formats used widely for now have their shortcomings, the users can’t make animations by simple tools and procedures, the main work of this paper is to design a cross-platform animation file format and a playback engine of such animation file format, allowing users to use only plain text editorto edit or create animation content, and to play animation with playback engine.This paper introduces the background and current research status of animation file format and playback technology, after that, two animation file formats used widely SWF, SVG and open-source game engine Cocos2d-JS are researched in detail, through the study of related technologies, the paper decide the overall design ideas of the animation file format and playback engine, and after that, the paper design the component modules of the animation file format in detail, including resource modules, scene modules, event module and configuration module. Subsequently, the paper analysis and design cross-platform animation engine system witch uses Cocos2d-JS game engine to build the entire system.The cross-platform animation file format and playback engine system introduced by this paper allow users to use a plain text editor to modify or create animation content, and users can use the browser supporting HTML5features to play the files, reducing the difficulty of the user to access animate greatly, besides that, the animation file format support interactive animations and enhance the users’ experience.
