Transform

Overview

Movement lies at the core of all animation workflows. Whether you just want to move and resize a portion of a drawing during editing or you are looking to animate a layer's position, rotation and scale using keyframes, ToonSquid provides you with easy-to-use tools to achieve these goals.

Transform Properties

Every movable layer has position, rotation and scale properties that can be animated using keyframes. Dive into the basics of layer movement in ToonSquid.

Transform Tool

Use the transform tool to edit a layer's position, rotation and transform directly on the canvas. It also allows you to select layers with a simple tap.

Motion Path

When a layer has multiple position keyframes, you can see and edit the entire motion path of the layer directly on the canvas.

Hierarchy

Position layers relative to each other, create basic character rigs and simplify more complicated movement animations using the transform hierarchy.

Transform Layer

Use the transform layer to add an intermediate coordinate system to the hierarchy and to animate multiple layers in sync with the same movement.
