Users can use various tools available on the left panel to draw, also they can use import tab on the top panel to import any svg or bit map files.

# Misc tools- These tools include exporting that single frame as image, storyboarding, camera (which users can use to put their photos),Papagayo lip sync features which can used for advanced animation including motion of characters etc.

Initially to create the animation there will be frames in the tupi each frame consists of separate drawings in it. The above image it shows how we can use frame idea to get animation. <br>
In second frame we will be having transparent frame type so we can keep frame1 as reference and draw the 2nd frame to make slight changes in it.<br>
The frames starts executing, creating an animation of objects or shapes drawn. <br>

Once all the frames are done we have to click on player button there we can select the speed of the frames. <br>
==Saving the file==
==Saving the file==
After users have finished creating animations of their choice, they can save it as a project which will save the entire project as .tup file. Users can also export the project into images or video formats.
==Export and publishing files==
==Export and publishing files==
We can export this into many formats and save it in our local system<br>
[[File:Export-dialog.png|500px|Multiple formats to export our project]]
# Video format - This is the most versatile format which can be played in any platforms like OGV, FLV etc. <br>
# Open video formats - This is another format which can be played as a video in any platform <br>
# Image arrays - Each frames in the animation can be saved as .PNG format which will hlep us in saving it as .GIF file in another application, also we can save them as .JPEG, .SVG image sequencing formats <br>
