To me, MOHO is a very good pick because of the very engine used to create its own characters. The rigging is space tier, and when I need a new character and I dont want to keep switching programs, I can do just about everything in MOHO. Thats the one part that bugs me about CA5 is the lack of character creation, but the advantage of CA5 that MOHO doesnt have at this moment, is the fact that you can swap parts and keep your rig. I also love the reusable actions, and yes MOHO has that too, but CA5 is very robust on that and I do like that I can chain actions, speeding me up. But then here comes a weakness that I am still trying to get used to... the large amount of tabs. When I want to adjust the timing of an action, I literally have to open two tabs abd then suddenly a dozzen tabs open when I click an arm. I dont have that kind of problem wiht MOHO, so layer management goes to MOHO, for me. FYI, I am still a noob in both softwares and I been taking hand drawn animations lately, so I am ranking the two softwares with my limited knowledge. also, I am one of many who cannot afford the 3k add ons for CA5. So, I am talking about the core software. Speaking of core software, you get just about everything you need for animation with MOHO. Yes people do complain about the whole face issue, but to me, they have no idea how to animate and thats ok. cuz I know how to animate faces well, and its not realyl that hard, but I will admit the faces in CA5 is easier. Mark Diaz shown us how to create different emotions with the same mouth layers but have curves which can create a happy face, sad face or even an angry face. I dont know if I can do that in MOHO, yet, so for now CA5 gets another win. if someone is keeping count, cuz Im not, we can see here that both MOHO and CA5 have strong advangates over the other. They are quite even in my eyes and I realized that I own both. so why not use both? also I mentioned the whole switching progam issue, really I just kinda dislike relying on another art program to create my characters each time while I can do almost any edit and creation in MOHO while in CA5, I am reliant on a different program. I admit it right now, I am still learning how to properly use both Clip Studio and Affinity designer. why am I using two art programs? Cuz I can. also I use each software for different things like in CS, is for my comics but I recently learned you can do that now in affinity, but I dont know how yet and am currently learning how. I am losing my point, so I"ll end it with this. Its not always the software, its the animator. Many will make comparisons which is covering certain weaknesses that the program is good at. For some its faces, so CA5 is best. For others, they want more rigging freedom or better yet advance body turns, including 360 turns and thus MOHO is your tool. Learn what each program provides and make a personal judgement based on that. If you can get both, why not? both will cover just about everything you'll need as an animator. Other than that, learn to be an animator before making rash judgments.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to share your experience with both programs. It puts the comparison video in a realistic perspective.

[@Animotions01]

I have Cartoon animator 5 and MOHO 14. MOHO has more advanced rigging options But it facial animation/lipsync option are bit weak if you create dialog heavy productions like I do. CTA5 has more facial animation options in the base software especially with face puppet to easily layer on a facial performance after creating a base lipsync from imported audio. So for me CTA 5 gets more usage for the type of 2D animation I am doing at the moment.

[@thomashartmann5037]

Thanks for a useful comment, based on factual experience.

[@im2cxe4u]

Great vid. I'd love to see Toon Boom products in a comparison video like this as well. And/or free alternatives like Grease Pencil, Toonz or Synfig, etc.

[@MysteryPlayground]

I think Moho is better than Cartoon Animator for several reasons, but Toon Boom Harmony remains superior overall.

[@Noob-zi2ce]

Wow! You guys are dropping bangers. Nice video, very educative.

[@user-wk3ns2mt7v]

Thanks for the information Cartoon Animator is in good development, but it needs the actor to be created within the program

[@Michael_Lak]

Why? Thete is no advantage except adding more cost to the program. Sister programs easily integrate.

[@animlife]

I don't think it's quite fair to say the motion capture 'add ons' are necessary to use Cartoon Animator. The majority of people using Cartoon Animator never purchase the motion capture add on, not even the face and upper body motion capture. The software has robust, and easier alternative systems within it for character animation. I've been through the process of learning both of these applications and Moho has the steeper learning curve, largely because feature for feature there's more to learn with Moho.

[@MangaGamified]

Just wished they didn't name the software like a verb, did they expect a free shoutout by using verb as its name? It's like naming a painting software -- literally "Painting Software"

[@animlife]

@@MangaGamified It's probably more for search engine optimization. I'd imagine there would be a lot of searches with the words 'cartoon' and 'animator' in them.

[@MangaGamified]

@@animlife It backfires by being so tedious than necessary to search for guides, cause the verb name sounds universal. Also, I think google now better optimizes experiences and quality in searches, rather than giving priority to products/services that's named as verbs.

[@animlife]

@@MangaGamified Feel free to write to Reallusion and let them know. Personally I have no problem with the name. It's better than 'CrazyTalk Animator' which is what the software was called up until version 4.

[@KristijanKirin-b1j]

So what is recommendet for proffesionals working for a big studio ? Moho or Cartoon Animator? I did not get that in the end. Could you care to explain pls? Great channel btw, seen lots of your vids!

[@lagosfilmschool]

Big Studio - MOHO Indie Animator - CA5

[@KrunoslavStifter]

Cartoon Animator seems to be attempt to leverage motion capture and automation by the parent company behind it, and expand the same in animation market. While Moho seems to be product of love for animators and artists who share the same passion for animation as the people behind the program.

[@shaitbuster]

Is it possible to import drawings into CA5 from software like Clip Studio Paint? Or does it have to be a PSD file Photoshop where it is true Vector?

[@Jhizzle473]

@2:05 what is this feature called that let you change your characters hair and stuff?

[@Mihimal]

TVPaint vs MOHO please ???

[@s.kounalakis]

Cartoon Animator has a lot of lags while you're working, and you might lose your file. After using it in real work for 3 years, I have to say it's not worth buying. It's better to learn Moho, which is a stable program.

[@mrrix7989]

what does THELINE use ? MoHo ? or CTA5?

[@TeachmeGin]

Is there an app for iPads like Moho or cartoon animator??🙏

[@Muthukaviyarasan]

Animation software without drawing tools....? not good, So moho pro is the best option. 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@Michael_Lak]

Drag and drop from another dedicated drawing program too hard for you?

[@guijiao]

CTA需要拆分很麻烦，我目前正在学习moho，希望能减少拆分的次数

[@Michael_Lak]

To pretend you need a lot of expensive hardware to use most of the tools in CA is ridiculous.

[@OscarMemo333]

7:44 omg that s....thats a....**** sword?!!!

[@ClassicMatureComedy]

My Moho Theory: This Was Used to Create Total Drama Now Original Idk What Software was used for the new Total Drama

[@im2cxe4u]

It was Toon Boom Harmony. Which is now subscription only.

[@HS-rb5tn]

Did Cartoon Animator pay for this video? I'm sorry, but Moho is a hundred times better than that toy!

[@Michael_Lak]

That's not an argument.

[@Harkonscabinet]

Agreed. The quality you can achieve speaks for itself. These are completely different use cases as well.

[@WorkOftheArtist]

FIRST!

[@Mamika_AFK]

First to smell the fart 😂😂😂

[@lllemonade33]

Nobody cares bro

[@Farz8806]

Moho pro can be pirated easier 😅

[@velRic]

@Farz8806 Not everyone is a thief, man.

[@Templar1129]

I purchased Cartoon animator for Mac, then they went to pc only-and this was writhing like 6 months or less. No warning-nothing. Wasted money and time. I’m switching to mojo and will not have anything to do with CA.
