I just have a punch that this has already been requested, but anyway, I’d be stoked to see a tweening feature on Pencil2d.

It’d be amazing to see that feature get added, I’ve been using this software often since downloading it and that’s pretty much all I’m missing.

I’m happy to hear Pencil2D seems to be working well for you so far. That said, tweening is not likely to be added anytime soon because Pencil2D is intended mainly for traditional animation techniques. See here for a slightly longer explanation and some alternatives you could try:

The core focus of Pencil2D is on more traditional 2d animation workflows and large changes would be required to add proper object tweening support. Think of it this way. The things you like about Pencil2D: the stability and ease of use, are both a direct consequence of its narrower focus. Less features means less complexity, making it easier to use and maintain.
