 Synfig Studio uses its own file formats:  {{Literal|.sif}} and  {{Literal|.sifz}}.  Sif is a synfig project file while sifz is a compressed (gzipped) sif file. As Sifs are (just) human readable XML, you can save some disk space choosing the compressed one when you save your animations.
 There is also the {{Literal|.sfg}} format, introduced with the Synfig Studio 1.0 release, is the synfig package animation format. Among animation data it can store externals images in a zip kind format.

-Synfig GUI implies that sound files can be loaded and played with the animation previews, to aid with e.g. lip synching.  Synfig relies on a helper library called [http://mltframework.org/ MLT], libavcodec and their dependencies.

-If parts of the image are disappearing when you enable the {{l|Skeleton Deformation Layer}} (and have checked that you don't have {{l|Setup_Dialog#Render_Tab|Cairo rendering}} enabled), is't surely because the image is cropped by bone influence area. You need to turn off bone distortion layer (from the {{l|Layers Panel}}, select it, enable width handles ({{Shortcut|Alt|5}}) and set the influence area for each bone.
