Creating 2D Animations in Blender - A Beginners Guide to creating video animations in Blender 2.9
This video shows the 2D animation feature in Blender 2.9 and how it can be used to create a new 2D animation. This is particularly useful for creating 2D animations which can be included in your YouTube videos. This is a relatively new feature which was introduced in Blender 2.8. It does not work with Blender 2.7 or earlier.
** Due to audio problems with this version I've now passed the audio through noise reduction. For the improved version see the following link **

This is a beginners tutorial video which goes step-through-step explaining the process needed to create the animation. The example shown is of a airplane which flies across the screen.
For the images it uses the Blender Add-on "Import-Export: Import Images as Planes", which makes importing the images easier. It also demonstrates how text can be used in a 2D animation.
The technique used for hiding the image is to exclude it from the render. This is a simple technique for beginners, but does not offer much flexibility. I have added details of how to use the Shader Editor in the following video:

The shader editor is more complicated for beginners, but more than makes up for it in the flexibility that it has in terms of manipulating the image alpha value.
