Use TVPaintAnimation, which also has onion skin tools in flash. See the introduction below.

TVPaintAnimation is an excellent animation software developed in France. Its style and characteristics are especially suitable for people to make simple hand-drawn 2d animation.

TVPainter is a powerful 2D animation professional software, and every function of it is specially prepared for creating a complete personal animation short film, which is very rare in the current animation software. As long as you know animation, Tvpaint can make you use the least resources, spend less time crossing technical barriers, put more time and energy into creativity and creativity, and achieve your expected visual effect to the greatest extent. TVPaint is very suitable for students who have ideas and creativity, are ready to engage in pre-animation creation, have a certain hand-drawing skills and can create personal animation. It completely surpasses FLASH in all aspects, and even has more advantages than many professional 2D animation software commonly used in the industry, such as Toomboon series software.

First of all, Tvpaint has very comprehensive functions and high compatibility. Its function covers every stage of making an animation. Tvpaint is fully competent in drawing a story version in the early stage, making an animation in the middle stage and handling special effects in the later stage. For a student, it is only necessary to master one software to complete an animated short film, which can save a lot of time in learning software and all kinds of troubles caused by using several softwares at the same time (such as format conversion, difference in resolution and pixel ratio, etc.). ), and spend a lot of time in improving the script, lens, preliminary design and so on. Tvpaint perfectly supports the import of psd file layers, supports the import of avi video frame by frame, and supports a variety of image and video audio formats, which is more convenient for Tvpaint to cooperate with other software.

Secondly, compared with FLASH and Toona sinensis software series, Tvpaint, as an animation software with bitmap format, is more skilled in dealing with visual effects. Tvpaint has rich brushstroke functions and image special effects processing methods, and the final effect is also diverse.

Although Tvpaint is animation software, it is first and foremost a painting software. In some ways, it can even replace Photoshop.

Using Tvpaint's rich brushstrokes, we can make colorful lead animation (similar to the effect of French animation The Frog's Prophecy), oil painting animation (similar to the effect of Russian animation The Old Man and the Sea), pencil sketch animation, ink painting animation, watercolor animation, and all kinds of imaginable animations.

Using the plug-in provided by Tvpaint, you can also make stop-motion animation and real-life animation conveniently.

Tvpaint also created the animation pen function. You can draw multiple images on the screen continuously or randomly, which even exceeds Photoshop. For example, when you need to draw leaves all over the floor, use Photoshop's homemade brush. No matter how randomly distributed, each leaf is the same shape. But with Tvpaint, you can draw any kind of leaves as an animation pen, so that you can draw leaves all over the floor and it will look natural.

When making standard TV cartoons, Tvpaint can also draw lines easily, just like using vector graphics.

Tvpaint also provides a large number of special effects tools, including various filter tools, blur tools, key tools and color adjustment tools. The proper combination of all these special effects can even achieve the visual effect of cinema animation.

In terms of animation functions, Tvpaint integrates many practical and interesting functions:

Although Tvpaint is a bitmap format software, it absorbs the advantages of vector format software and adds powerful and rich mesh deformation special effects. You can automatically generate an intermediate animation by processing each part of the vector graphics random deformation bitmap and adding key frames.

The animation recording function of Tvpaint is very interesting. It can record your painting process and give full play to your imagination.

Tvpaint also provides a powerful two-dimensional particle system, which can easily produce rain, snow, fallen leaves, and even flame, fireworks, smoke, energy beams and other strange effects. This saves the trouble of learning to use software such as after effects and format conversion.

Tvpaint's 3-D plane camera special effects can move 2-D layers in 3-D space, and the camera can also move, focus and automatically calculate the blur effect.

Tvpaint also has a general keyframe setting called pixel tracking. You can track some pixels in an image as keyframe sources to automatically set keyframes for special effects.

In a word, Tvpaint is a powerful, practical and easy-to-use 2D animation software. It is an animation software based on painting, which gives full play to the advantages of bitmap format, and can produce different styles of animation works, which can help users achieve the expected visual effect to the greatest extent. Unique among many animation softwares, it is a rare creative tool for students' works and small studios.
