 =====Tweening Tutorial=====
+====Introduction====
 Traditional animation techniques require that you illustrate every frame of your project. So in example, if you are animating a bouncing ball using 20 frames, you will have to draw the ball 20 times in a different position, one time for every frame, just like we did it in our [[basic_example|basic example]].
 Now, tweening is a software feature that allows you make this process easier and faster for some specific kind of animations by calculating and generating some frames for you between an initial and a final state. In Tupi, there are several types of tweens: position, rotation, scale, shear, opacity and color. These transformations are calculated by the software in every frame following the parameters that you provide, saving you a lot of time.
-**Note:** Only one kind of tween can be applied to an object. Once and object is part of a tween, it can't be edited.
+Once you select the tween you want to use, the general workflow for all them is similar:
+    * Select a name for the tween you want to create.
-====Position Tween====
+    * Select the object(s) you want to animate using the tween.
+    * Set the specific parameters required for the kind of tween you chose.
-====Rotation Tween====
+    * Apply the tween.
-====Scale Tween====
-====Shear Tween====
+Some important tips you should count on:
+    * You need at least one object in the scene to use a tween.
+    * Only one kind of tween can be applied for every object.
+    * Once an object is part of a tween, that object can't be edited as a vector path.
-====Opacity Tween====
+The access to the list of tween features is available from the left toolbar at the Animation tab, you just have to click on the Tweening button.
-====Color Tween====
