Thx see a lot of alternatives to Animate CC, but any here use any of them, need some feedback from user here, any use from the list, If not I need do a trial and error for best five.
Thx for that list ty.
Of the free ones on that list:
Opentoonz is for traditional 2D cel animation. Apparently it can do split-pin animation, but I've never tried it or seen it. It's very idiosyncratic and can be unstable, but it's got some great features. I'm using it for this WIP: https://twitter.com/MisterABK/status/1057956817404379136
I used Synfig briefly a few years ago, and it messed up my save (or did some other unforgivable thing) and so I uninstalled it.
I have my eye on Dragonbones, but I'm not sure whether it's oriented towards games or standalone animation: http://dragonbones.com/en/index.html

That is an awesome animation! I've wanted to try Opentoonz myself, but I never managed to learn it due to the overwhelming interface,
and I haven't managed to find any good tutorials for beginners.
I've been using Macromedia Flash MX 2004 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXvZUqoNBNI) so far, because it's about the only free animation software that I felt was intuitively designed that I could learn the basics without having to sit through a dozen video tutorials.
I don't know if it's just me, but I've always found video tutorials the most frustrating method of learning anything computer based, I've always preferred text I can read at my own pace and skip right to the important bits to always having to pause and rewind videos.
You may wish to check out the Blender 2.8 beta. The new 2D tools look super cool. I haven't tried them yet, but for hand drawn, it looks better than Animate (which still has some awful quirks)
