What TupiTube is

TupiTube is free 2D animation software for children, teenagers and amateur artists. TupiTube Desk is designed as an introduction to animation, and the maker describes its audience as children from 8 to 100 years old. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, while TupiTube App is a mobile version for Android phones and tablets. The desktop animation toolbar includes drawing, shape, selection, fill and tweening tools. An exposure sheet, timeline and scenes manager help organize frames and layers, while onion skin can display earlier and later frames over the canvas. Users can import JPG, PNG, GIF and SVG images into the object library, preview work in the Player module and export projects as video files. Papagayo lip-sync files can be imported with mouth images and a WAV file. Sound support is still under development, so the FAQ advises combining animation and effects in a video editor. The FAQ also says raster mode and an eraser are planned; the editor is vector-based.
