Damn right! 😂 MS paint boots up faster, you can create your own brushes and astonishing pixel art. People can turn their noses up at it, but I like more quirky options, everything looks so generic and boring now.
Nice review of both applications. I've used Adobe Flash back in the day (late 90's). Always wanted to do more animation when I had some spare time. So better late than never I guess.
After all these years Adobe still hasn't managed a seamless bridge between Animate and After Effects. While they have introduced 'Dynamic Link' between a program like Character Animator, and AE Adobe Animates best option is still to export an swf or a series of PNG's, which isn't the best option if you use both programs back and forth. If Adobe finally manages to bridge this gap, the combination After Effects/Animate beats ToonBoom...
I love that all the small animators are here in the comments section. Edit: people replying to this comment make me feel guilty that I don't even make animations anymore :(
As a person which in the beginning bought a Ipad for starting animate on FlipaClip Procreate etc. Also as a person trying Adobe Animate I can truly say that when I meet Toonboom Harmony, my life has been changed and my passion to 2D animation raised to 100x. Toonboom is a best of the beeeeest
Blender is the best for 3D software. But not really good for 2D since they just started that 2D features. And not many feature on 2D mode compared to other software
@@lunaplaysgames9824 Well, you can apply that response to anytime anyone ever corrects grammar. It's not meant as an insult, and the only thing it can do is help someone. It's only meant as an FYI comment, not an insult.
What about coding? I once worked in a children’s company and was required to make apps for activities, score board, ar mirrors things like that. Also the coding made animating easier
If I just need character animation, no backdrops, no compositing. Just a Character -> do the animation -> export as PNG sequence. Would you recommend "Spine Pro", "Adobe Animate" oder "Toon Boom Studio"?
Nope, I've spent the last two years using every piece of drawing and animating software I can afford. Some software is easier to learn, some software can do more, some software makes it easier to draw and some software makes everything quicker Sure with enough time you may be able to make a semi-profesional looking animated giff with procreate.... But it would be way quicker and easier with animate sai
I want to make a high quality 2d series and I want to use illustrator to make my characters and adobe animate to animate the series but it'll be hard to illustrate characters frame by frame since I am going to be using illustrator, any tips/tricks for using these softwares to make a 2d series?
Thank you for tNice tutorials! I've been trying to figure the software out on my own for a wNice tutorialle, and it's horribly confusing. TNice tutorials is the only guide video
the monthly billing for both software is the real killer for me. im not a full-time animator, i just do it as a hobby. so dropping $200+ every year for a program that i realistically wont be using everyday is a bummer.
My kid is very interested in animation. She's nine, and I don't know what to start her education with. I mean, what will be easier for her from the beginning? In what programme software is more intuitive for a 9-year kid? Please, any advice is so vital for me right now 🙏

looking for an alternative to adobe animate, not just for animating, but for website building. adobe animate has js and the canvas. can toon boom harmony do this as well? or is there another program that can?
Toon Boom is crazy expensive. As some one who just want to learn and mess with it a bit it closes its self of from extended use due to the price. Good tutorials are far and few between as well.
Subscription prices are about the same as Adobe. The amount you charge to do work should be crazy expensive too anyway. If you are not using it to work better stick to free stuff like Blender grease pencil. It has lots of tutorials and new stuff every update.
@@notdeadboi9991 that is the life of an animator/designer in general. Everything is hard, that separates the ones doing design for fun vs the ones who is determined to see their name in the credit roll after some years
@@notdeadboi9991 what? You miss my point. If Harmony is too hard for you, just stick with Blender, no biggie. I thought you are the type who whines and cower from challenges faced in design software.

Is the auto animation or auto frame generate better in toon boom harmony? cause all the videos that showed here while talking about toon boom harmony were better looking and smooth. Or does it depends on the animator and what i am saying has nothing to do with anything...?
Can anyone tell me - i am making children's books and want illustrations for the characters. Can i export not whole animations but just single frames as an image file? If i can, i can use this to animate the characters i need and then export the different frames as different pictures for my books. Or is there a free animation software available that could do that? These both look incredible but i dont need the full functionality of them for my books project Thanks
Are you saying you just want a single drawing/picture? If so, there are great programs that let you do this, some free examples are fire alpaca and MediBang paint, but there are also ones that cost money such as paint tool SAI. I’ve been using paint tool SAI for a few weeks now and already love it}!
i know it's a bit late to comment . but i'm assuming that you want to use the software to have more options to pick the perfect shot in between the series of drawings. Well then, yes you can do that in adobe animate (idk if this works in toonboom) . Here's how to do that: > File > Export > export movie > create new folder and name it > save it as jpeg or png sequence > a dialog box will pop up and this should be the settings for png: --1920 x 1080 (72dpi) (important: set the export dimensions to the same dimension of the animation you're currently exporting, in this case, I'm giving you an example of my standard export settings. So if you want to animate in a different dimension/size , you can do that as well. Just remember that whatever dimension you created in that project should be the same with when you'll export it) -- 72 dpi (if you'll go beyond this number, the canvas will be cropped) > click export Then you're done. Just locate the file and then pick your best choice of shots. By the way, I suggest to save it as png for a better export quality.
I'm using Animate but coming up against super frustrating bugs in the parenting and tweening function. Character limbs randomly jumping across the screen , parenting breaking for no apparent reason every time i adjust a symbol. Anyone else? Just me? I've seen a lot of this complaint online. it basically means until they fix it animate is useless as a pro tool. If only it would do what it says it would be good. I think I'm going to have to swap to Toon Boom.
why? Isn't toon boom the industry standard and isn't toon boom better for people who want to work for big companies like Cartoon Network, Disney, and Nicklodeon?
No matter what software.
The most important? Artist skills
To be far some features are easier on certain software
Unless its MS paint
Traditional animation
@@senaykalaycoglu4397 shit you just reminded me of that okay I take it back
This. Software can’t draw for you
Real Professionals use MS paint , I heard
nice joke :>
yeah......they have to draw it then export it as a picture then combine them using a video editing program
i have tried
You must've heard that in an alley or sth
Damn right! 😂 MS paint boots up faster, you can create your own brushes and astonishing pixel art. People can turn their noses up at it, but I like more quirky options, everything looks so generic and boring now.
Yep. Best example is the Big Lez Show
Being able to have a permanent licence for harmony is one of the biggest pluses to me
Yes, indeed. Adobe should top the only subscription way.. they need to get back with the perpetual licenses again (next to subs).
u can get it for free
A free permanent license is also good

Summary: Toon Boom Harmony is for professionals and Adobe Animate is for hobbyist professionals
nah.. they are both for professionals and amateurs.

@Evera Lore which is why Harmony has an edge over Animate CC
Thank you saved me a lot of time trying to browse videos for an actual working one

Toom Boom is better, but Adobe Animate is way easier to undertand, and have a much better layout
Opentoonz generally has most of the same features of harmony with the learning curve being less steeper than it
"Less steeper" is incorrect English.

You should probably use after effects instead. You can just import the illustrations and then edit them in after effects to move with the animation.
