Ever since I began with SVG I have looked forward to creating successful animations ( of multiple lever interactions over time) using SMIL but I am still waiting for a time when the majority of browsers can produce a smooth result.
The following example from w3 is a simple illustration of the problem: <http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/images/animate/anim01.svg> I work on the Mac and have Firefox 8 (latest beta), Opera 11.51 and Safari Version 5.1.1 (6534.51.22). Of these, only Safari produces a smooth animation. Both the others show a jerky progression that is quite unsuitable for the accurate representation of the mechanisms I wish to show. As a result I continue to create my animations from multiple frames, creating the frames using a Perl script, converting the frames to PDF and then making a Quicktime movie from the result. How 'good' Safari is on Windows I don't know, but in any case it would be an odd stipulation to insist that "this page must be viewed in Safari". What are the chances that the main browsers will in the near future resolve the difficulties they have in producing good moving pictures in SVG?
