Canopy
A downloadable tool for Windows
i hate adobe. like a lot. like make my own animation program using janky tools in python during my free time out of spite a lot. this is that program. here's some things canopy can do that adobe animate can't:
- making certain edits on multiple frames simultaneously
- looping onionskin
- pressing "next frame" on last frame and having it loop to the beginning
- simple tweening without having to make symbols
- importing audio without it ruining the audio quality after export
- the colours being the same in the program and after export
- exporting as gifs and mp4s without having to deal with adobe's horrible exporting systems
- actual functioning autosave
- accessing your files completely free of charge
- not giving money to adobe
here's a list of all the hotkeys in the program. you can access this at any time by pressing "h", or you can have this window in another tab if you want idc
