Light pen???

What do you want a tutorial on? What will you be using Animate to do?

[amir5E29]

hello 🙂

I want to learn to create animations with mouse. because I can not buy any light pens.

I want to learn adobe animate to create short animation and also a long animation.

I think "Light Pen" means "stylus" or "graphics tablet" in this case. never heard it called a light pen either

please go into here i mean this device. (click here)

what tutorials have been suggested here that require a "light pen"?

and if there are any, just skip past them.

[amir5E29]

you mean the link that you have shared in your comment ? or all of the tutorials you mean?

[kglad]

yes, the only tutorial link so far suggested, Animate tutorials | Learn how to use Animate (adobe.com)

How would you use this device with Animate? Basically an LED light in a pen form-factor???

More simply put - what is it you are wanting to do?

[amir5E29]

none of pens. just want to use mouse and keyboard 😅

do you think that it is possible to learn and work with adobe animate without any pens and just work by mouse?

Worth mentioning also that yes, you can use Animate with just a mouse, or trackpad, and keyboard. The Shapes and Pen tools will be most useful. The Brush tool can be used but without a tablet/pressure sensitivity, you will get a consistent shape as opposed to a variable shape. While it's quicker, easier, and more ergonomic to use a tablet, you can use Animate without one.
