My Little Cinema :-)

Free 2D Animation Software

Drag a value with your mouse to change it ( see TIPS below).

Why this app?

- friction (ex enve) animated images are blurry https://github.com/friction2d/friction/issues/222

- natron, Pencil2D, Synfig Studio: don't deal with animated images the way I'd like

- Adobe Animate and other 2D animation softwares are paid or have subscription plans and may still not suit my needs

- hence my Little Cinema app ;-)
