To be honest, the Operators-part of the software is the most old and weak one, but it still has some cool features. Many of this stuff originates from the old Amiga-days, but lacks the part of the cool Drag&Drop-Interface.
Original idea
The basic idea was to have channels of images which could be connected by operators to create other channels of images which could be connnected by other operators to create other... etc. And to be able to animate any of the parameters of those operators by drawing a curve, a motion-curve or envelope.
So, say, you have an image, and drag a rotate-operator on it, and draw a motion-curve (usually a ramp) for the rotation, to get a rotating image. And combine this rotating image with some fade-out-operator where you draw a curve for the brightness. The result is some fading out rotating image.
