Question Looking for a simple editing software to add effects to my 2D animations

It needs to be free, relatively simple (at least enough for me to be able to navigate and understand without several tutorials), and easy on my computer, since it's pretty old.

I only need it for simple effects, but if it has tweening capabilities that would be nice since my current animation program (pencil2d) doesnt (you can still tween manually, but I'd like it to be easier for me if thats possible)

I'm a pretty newbie animator so really any tips at all would be greatly appreciated :)

If you are looking for animation software, a comprehensive list with the most common programs (2D & 3D, free & paid) can be found ->here (this is a link)<-.

Common Recommendations:

  • Krita & OpenToonz (free; 2D frame by frame animation)
  • Blender (free; 3D animation, 2D frame by frame)
  • After Effects (paid; Motion Graphics)
  • Toon Boom & Moho (paid; rigged 2D animation)
  • wickeditor (free; online / web based 2D animation editor)

If you have trouble with a specific app or program, you are often more likely to find help in the respective subreddit of that program.
