Educational Usage

This tool is best for the animation classes. While explaining the concept

of animation and basics this tool will be best way to start before teaching

them a professional software such as Adobe Animate. I used to teach

animation to my students and this tool was going to be my starting point

to teach them how to manage frames and create animations by using

them. And it is very easy to use that will help them to love creating

animations before the start using complex software.
