Hello everyone ... hope that all of ya are fine...today we hve the most strong tool..which is mostly used when we talk abt animation..yeah it is the tween tool .this tutorial will cover basics to masters and i hope it covers all the techniques...The software used for this tutorial will be Image Ready...i will start with the general idea..so let go ahead.
Image Ready 7/cs can be used.

Technique 1:
1) lets first start a document by going to File> New with 100X100 pixels- transparent.

2)now take ur brush tool and put a dot something similar to this.

3)Duplicate the frame by pressing "duplicate current frame" in the animation panel and then move the dot to another location by using move tool. press tween button and set it to 8 frames.

and press play and the final result is

Technique 2:
above we hve seen how to make straight line animation but now we will be focusing on curve..heres how

starting from point 2
4)Duplicate the frame by pressing "duplicate current frame" in the animation panel and then move the dot a bit down and to the right...by using move tool and press tween button and set it to 5 frames.
again duplicate the frame by pressing "duplicate current frame" in the animation panel and then move the dot a bit down and to the right...by using move tool and press tween button and set it to 5 frames.
now for the third time do it again.
to have a correct loop shape duplicate again the first frame and take it to the end as the last frame...and then press tween and set to 5. now press play...
u will get something like this

Technique 3:
We are done with straight lines and curve animation...now to hve something different...lets make object appear and disappear..heres how

5)Take the original (point 1 & 2), and duplicate the frame. now hide the layer with the dot on it in ur layer panel, and tween it to 5 frames. then take your new last frame, and unhide the layer, tween it to 5 frames, and press play:

u will hve result might similar like this

Technique 4:
we hve already seen some ways with 1 object..now lets look at tweening on two objects...as an example..

6)duplicate the dot layer in layer panel..and move it to the right( opposite to the first dot)...which looks much similar to this.

7) Now duplicate the frame, then move them both into the center, and tween it to 5 frames, then duplicate the frame and move the dots to their original position, but at the bottom.

Tween it to 5 frames like the last one, then duplicate the one where they are in the center, and tween to 5 frames, then duplicate the original, and tween to five frames to get this:

Technique 5:we hve seen that the objects are going all at the same speed...if u want u can change the speed by simply following this technique.

now here also take the same image with the two objects in one frame and two layers...(similar to step 6)

8) now duplicate the frame and in that move one of the dot to the half way and other dot to the full way...and press tween setting to 8 frames. and duplicate the last frame and move the dot which went half way to where u sent the previous dot..and tween to 7 frames.
u will get something like this...

Technique 6:
let me introduce more about speed in objects...
starting from step 2 duplicate the frame. now move it halfway to where u want to go:

And tween it to 10 frames, then duplicate, move it halfway between the new dot position and where u want it to go, tween to 3 frames. then duplicate, move to where u want it to go and tween to 2 frames. u should get something similar to this:
