Windows 10: The [Microsoft] Photos App in Windows 10 Can Be Used To Create Animation (7/24/2018)

Has anyone (besides me) used the [Microsoft] Photos App in Windows 10 to create animation by using images he/she drew on their computer or taken from his/her camera yet? I have and it works just fine, but leaves a lot to be desired, such as the lack of "special effects". I created my animation (and its 'special effects') using just [Microsoft] Paint and the [Microsoft] Photos App, and here's the result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raTJy8MeoRk, which is a "Small" MP4 export file from the [Microsoft] Photos App at a resolution of 640x480 pixels, as both the "Medium" and "Large" export file sizes ruin the picture quality of the drawings used in the animation, which are pixel art. Microsoft Corporation should add animation to the list of things that the [Microsoft] Photos App (or more correctly, Windows 10 can do) and add features that support this - such as the ability to create a standalone project file that can be created in the [Microsoft] Photos App that is also reverse compatible with Windows Live Move Maker in Windows Vista/Windows 7 and Windows Movie Maker in Windows XP, and that allows the project to be transferred to other Windows 10 computers - without being forced to use The Cloud (Microsoft OneDrive) to do so and being limited only to Windows 10 computers. What are other people's experiences with using the [Microsoft] Photos App to create animation, and what ideas do you have for improving the [Microsoft] Photos App for animators?

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
