Learn this powerful 2D cutout animation software.
Learn CelAction and elevate your character animation skills
You already know the principles of animation—now it's time to master CelAction and take your 2D rigged animation to the next level.
As an Animation Director on Bluey, I know firsthand why CelAction is the best software for professional series productions. This course is designed to help you animate faster, better, and with fewer technical headaches - giving you the opportunity to showcase your character animation skills.
What you’ll learn
Simply CelAction is a self-paced online course that takes you from having never opened CelAction to creating a full character acting piece using provided audio. Across 10 structured lessons, you'll learn:
The CelAction interface – Navigate the workspace with confidence.
Keyframing & Dope Sheet mastery – Build solid animation timing.
Breakdowns & algorithms – Improve motion fluidity and control.
Advanced techniques – Master walk cycles, display orders, attachment links & more.
Audio & lipsync – Bring the character to life with expressive acting audio.
How this course is structured
Simply CelAction is designed to be approachable, progressive, and practical — especially if you’re new to CelAction.
Rather than throwing everything at you at once, the course introduces ideas only when you’re ready to use them, and reinforces them through clear, focused tasks.
-
The course starts by helping you feel comfortable inside CelAction — how it works, how animation is structured, and how to avoid common early frustrations.
Nothing assumes prior CelAction experience.
-
New tools and concepts are introduced at the moment they become useful, not all upfront.
This means:
less memorisation
less confusion
more “ohhh, that makes sense now” moments
-
Each stage of the course includes practical animation tasks designed to reinforce what you’ve just learned.
You’re not watching passively — you’re applying ideas immediately.
-
Rather than isolated exercises, the course gradually builds toward a full character acting shot.
Each task contributes to skills you’ll use again later, so nothing feels wasted.
-
The course is entirely self-paced. You can:
pause
rewatch
repeat tasks
move ahead when you’re ready
This is intentional — animation skill builds through repetition, not speed.
