We introduce AniViz – a tool for making visualization animations. The design of AniViz is mainly based on two principles. First, AniViz allows the user to make animations while exploring the data. Second, AniViz provides a set of motion templates for the user to create desirable effects as instances of those templates. AniViz also provides the user with a set of operators to edit an instance or combine multiple ones into a sequence of effects. The user can fine tune parameters associated with an instance or a sequence in a keyframe style. The length of each segment in the animation may be specified by the user or automatically allocated by AniViz based on a distance metric. AniViz offers these functionalities through a simple and easy-to-use interface. We demonstrate AniViz with several volume visualization applications.
