I believe the answer is:

prescient

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'knowing what you'll do next?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'animated screen tip' is the wordplay.
'animated' is an anagram indicator.
'screen'+'tip'='screentip'
'screentip' anagrammed gives 'PRESCIENT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for prescient that I've seen before include "prophetic?" , "Certainly dealing in futures" , "Able to predict events" , "Knowing of future events" , "like people looking to the future" .)
