Hi all,

I’ve used the motion tween panel for a while now, but am starting to realize that either I don’t get it completely, or it’s just not all it’s cracked up to be.

Easing just doesn’t seem to be as easy in the motion tween panel. When you add to/change the animation, you then have to completely alter your ease section.

More than anything, I hope I’m just misguided, but all the tutorials/experience I’ve had with this are leading me back to good ol’ classic/frame-by-frame animation.

What do you prefer to use?
