    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.

    Easytoon is a program that can create small animated gif friendly, a simple sequence of images giving the illusion of movement. It sounds simple written like that but it is quite complicated to implement, finally brief.
