What you'll learn
We'll begin this Toon Boom tutorial by discussing what a key frame is and how we can set one in the timeline view in Toon Boom Harmony. From there we'll learn about implementing other tools and features to animate cut-out styled animations using key frames such as the data view, pivots, pegs, symbols, and inverse kinematics. By gaining a good understanding about key frames in Toon Boom Harmony, you'll be able to tackle your own cut-out styled animation projects with ease while having a lot of fun.
