[TUTORIAL] Motion Tweening in OpenToonz
Welcome to my second OpenToonz tutorial!
Since people seemed to like the first one (I think), I decided to make the next one where I will explain how tweening and motion works in OpenToonz.

Let’s cover the basic theory first and the most basic way tweens are used. Advanced stuff will be down below. What is Tweening?
