Adobe Animate vs Toon Boom Harmony

In this Video, we will take a look at two great options when it comes to animation software, Adobe Animate, and Toon Boom Harmony. We will start by knowing each software in addition to the features and tools they offer, and what they are best used for while we make a comparison between them.

yeah......they have to draw it then export it as a picture then combine them using a video editing program i have tried

[@safari.3d887]

You must've heard that in an alley or sth

[@VideoJamesNZ]

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.

Yes, indeed. Adobe should top the only subscription way.. they need to get back with the perpetual licenses again (next to subs).

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.

[@Amsterhopper]

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...

[@shinyanakagawa8241]

But Toonboom keeps getting actual useful updates over the years, Flash/Animate CC still crashes down whenever you work with overlapping symbols.

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

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

May we have a review of toon boom and Opentoonz please

[@lucipurr8020]

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.

[@mmm_mmm4935]

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.

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.

[@SoulGuitarMetal]

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.

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

[@whyamidizzy8694]

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}!

[@nanwanwon95]

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.

Food for thought, I have yet to try harmony, however I have tried out adobe as a beginner. I bought the monthly sub, however, when I went to cancel the subscription I was unable to just stop it. I had to choose a different program, change to that sub than cancel asap which cost me roughly between 15-20 bucks. I have not been the only person who had to do this either, so I wouldn't suggest it if you don't want to go through that kind of drama.
