Is it possible to make tweening between two static images/keyframes?

Hello, Animators! Is there a way to automatically create in-betweens in Animate, if I have two or more static images as keyframes? I previously hoped to get such result in After Effects, but the community says it's nearly impossible. 

 

 

If it is possible in Animate, how could I achieve some tweening? This example above looks primitive, but creating in-betweens by hand is sometimes very tedious. Any tips or advice about ways to simplify the task are much appreciated. 

 

Thank you for your kind attention, understanding and help!

because the actual shape looks unchanged, you can convert that hen's body & tail feathers shape to an object and then rotate tween it.  you'll need to adjust the transform point.

 

bottomline: yes, it's tweenable animate. 

 

and even if you had completely different shapes you could use a shape tween with shape hints though this almost always takes a fair amount of work and may not look like you hoped.

    Hey ! kglad, Thanks a lot! Happy to learn it is still possible to do this in Animate. I'll certainly look into shape tween and shape hints.

    you won't need that for what you posted.  just rotating is going to be simpler, faster and easier.
