Krita is a #free💬 and #opensource💬 tool for creating digital art, including animation! And in Krita 5 they've introduced motion tweening! So now you can use motion tweens by going to "Settings->Dockers->Animation Curves" and you can move a whole "group" of layers as one thing.
18 months ago There's apparently a "Youtube Audio Library" that has a bunch of songs available for use in anything, as long as it's not distributed unchanged. That's their wording. So, seems that it's basically opensource beats? They call it "royalty-free production music and sound effects" that is "copyright-safe" although I'm having trouble finding the actual license but I'll update it in the comments if I find it. It looks like the big "catch" is that if you monetize your video you can't use their music UNLESS you're part of some special program that's hard to get into.... so it could be a trap so you can't make money off your music, so be careful with this stuff, but I was suprised how good some of it sounded anyways. Make sure you find out the specific license of the music you're going to use, they have various licensing.
Here's a few good songs I saw used in some stupid auto-generated review video of Amazon products with a bunch of product links in the description. I was curious how a stupid auto-generated video had such good music so I dug a little deeper and this is what I found! I think it'd be an ironic twist to use this music to rap about the dangers of A.I. and the consolidation of media and corporate power by using the corporate opensource beats as a medium ;}

22 months ago "The 5 Filters of the Mass Media Machine"
This is a great short video summarizing what Noam Chompsky called the "5 filters" in his book "Manufacturing Consent".
It describes how the mass media industry is fundamentally and inherently manipulated to perpetuate a filtered view of reality through the influence of:
1. Ownership
2. Advertising
3. the Media Elite
4. Flak
5. "the Common Enemy"
