TupiTube Desk

TupiTube Desk is an elegant frame-by-frame animation creation tool that allows making super-complex and imaginative, dynamic designs that tell a story through visuals.

TupiTube Desk is a 2D animation app that enables multi-feature usage for all individuals passionate about digital drawing and animation creation. Each project's initialization is easy, clear, and straightforward. You must choose the project's and the author's name and add a minimal description, plus corresponding tags for categorizing your artworks later on.

TupiTube Desk allows you to granularly define how your video animations will play out. You must configure your future animation's format (it can range between a low resolution — 520 x 380 — and full HD, at 1080), set the size of the canvas, define the chromatic nuance of the background, and configure the frame rate of your video animation.

TupiTube Desk is a free, open-source project. Like most open-source tools, they come to fruition mostly because of the dedication and passion of their maker(s). Besides the fact that TupiTube Desk is constantly updated, the developer and the community provide valuable resources for people to start learning animation and digital drawing from scratch.

Not only does it help you get started by teaching the program's mechanisms, but the website also offers valuable resources for understanding frame-by-frame animation in general, and how to leverage your artistic ideas.

In conclusion, TupiTube Desk is an excellent choice for both beginners (even kids) and professional animators. The tool has an intuitive menu and works very well; it is fast, doesn't lag, and offers a convenient animation player for testing and changing your result before exporting the animation.
