The Timeline is the thing that controls the animation that the user sees. The Timeline is a representation of how long the animation runs and how content changes in the animation over time.

The free transform tool is used to manipulate different properties of our content. We can use it to resize, rotate and perform pretty impressive tasks on elements on our stage.

Scenes is allows us to organize our movie into sections that you can view as independent pieces of the whole movie. The ability to have a multiscene movie allows you to break up your content into logical chunks and helps you organize your movie efficiently.

The playhead indicates where we currently are in our movie. We can click the playhead and drag it back and forth along the Timeline, and the stage will change to show the contents in the selected frame. When we position the playhead over a frame we see what will be displayed on the screen at that point during playback.

The polystar tool works in very similar way to the other shape tools. The Polystar tool is used to create a shape, polygons and stars. We can draw both polygons and star shapes using the PolyStar tool.
