SHAPE TWEENS Adobe Animate CC Tutorial + Using Shape Hints
In this Animation Tutorial for beginners, I show 3 different ways to animate using Shape Tweens in Adobe Animate CC 2020. Learn how to use shapes, text and lines to create shape tweens as well as how to apply Shape Hints to control the tween with more precision, and how to add masks which results in a gradient that shape tweens inside text that is also shape tweening.
