It goes without saying that we have only grazed the surface of this behemoth of a software and that its tools are more plentiful than we could include in this video. These tools are very powerful, and it makes sense that this software is the industry’s standard for 2D animation. Other tools and features include X sheet, shift and trace, onion skinning and range, color swatches, lip sync, importing 3D objects. This can be a great tool if you are creating a video game and wish to have parallax in your background for a livelier look for less effort.

The 3D space and camera can be a genius way to give the illusion that your scene is animated when it is just layered in a 3D space and the camera’s movement makes it so that it looks like it’s moving. This tool can make lining your frames a lot easier, especially if you are importing your frames sketched traditionally but want a digital clean line art.Īnother very powerful and smart tool in the software is the cutter tool which allows you to cut bits of lineart sticking out that are unnecessary, talk about a quick clean up! It also provides alignment guides and snapping.
