    Moovely doesn't support any kind of frame by frame animation, it is designed for flat indie ads with ukulele music in the background, not actual animation.

    Animate CC is for artists and animators who create an actual animation with frames. Moovly is basically an alternative to PowerPoint that uses pre-made animation for presentations.

    It's literally Powtoon, but even more limited. There is no actual animation involved.
