Spec score 8.1 #51 of 106 in Animation Software

What it is

TupiTube is free 2D animation software intended as an introduction to animation for children, teenagers, and amateur artists. TupiTube Desk runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, while TupiTube App is available for Android phones and tablets. Desk’s tools include drawing, shape, selection, fill, and tweening options. A scenes manager, exposure sheet, and timeline organize scenes, frames, and layers; onion skin can show neighboring frames over the canvas with adjustable opacity. The object library accepts JPG, PNG, GIF, and SVG images. TupiTube can import Papagayo lip-sync files with mouth images and a WAV sound file. Sound support is still under development, and the FAQ recommends combining animation with sound effects in a video editor. The editor is vector-based; raster mode and an eraser are described as planned work. The latest Linux version has no official .deb or .rpm installers.
