Hi which 2D animation software would be good for adding simple animations in science class and for youtube presentations?.
Eksamples would be: how galvanic cells work, simple biology drawings of cells, DNA etc.

I’d like a program that’s quite straight forward but also gives me a lot of features, such as mixing texts, animation, powerpoint. For eksample I have a picture of the periodic table , it would be nice if i can cut it into the 2d drawing software, select and change the background color of the elements of interest into yellow.

What programs do you use? And what could you recommend?

So far I've considered toon boom after reading a bit about it :)
