[@Captain.Mystic]

Blender has the guru Unity has/had brackeys Opentoonz has you. thank you.

[@tord3465]

yeah tho rlly

[@AxtrodoSulfur]

Unity had brakeys 😔

[@elementallobsterx]

EXACTLY!

[@elementallobsterx]

@YnigosindoXD krita isn't good with animation though. there's a reason ed only animates traditionally on it, cause it can't do anything else. I use it for drawing and painting, but NOTHING else.

[@elementallobsterx]

@YnigosindoXD I love the software but if it had some of opentoonz's features it would be perfect.

[@emaginenations]

This is an absolute treassure. Getting into a new program can be so frustrating when you don't know what youre doing so this is really appreciated, thanks for putting in the effort!

[@SeanTimberlake]

I agree I was so lost looking at the options for the first time

[@AnglesSol]

Always love seeing the revamped tutorials for each version, makes the content feel current, accessible and easy to understand.

[@kiriappeee]

Note of appreciation for how tight this entire thing feels. All the "Intro to Open Toonz" videos have gotten better and better over time. This one is easily your best. Kudos!

[@jayrent98]

This was well put together, easy to digest and surprisingly calming voice too. You have definitely earned my sub!

[@giggling_stars]

Nice!! Honestly Noble you're the reason I even started a channel you inspire me so much :]

[@lannyfrombaywater4752]

Thank you for showing these! I have just started posting some of my animations using Opentoonz, and you and your discord server has been very helpful! Now I am energized to take it even further!

[@fimarb292]

I can't thank you enough for all of your tutorials!!! I've just started using opentoonz and your videos are 90% of my resource! Keep creating, your works are outstanding!!! 🙌

[@ForeignExchangeTrader]

I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. I have been trying to learn Opentoonz and your information has been extremely helpful. Keep up the great work!!

[@GREATANIMATIONS]

[@tobewrym9207]

By far the best software tutorial ever, the pacing and delivery was perfectly effective. Lowkey had the professionalism / flow of a lecture course lol.

[@peelchi136]

Brooooo you just saved my life I was dying here, didnt even know where to begin. did watch other tutorials but they were not as helpful as yours.... 5 stars for you. thank youuuuuu

[@thatsexyganon5648]

[@Transimage]

Amazing tutorial, this is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

[@lodgechant]

What an incredibly helpful tutorial. Thank you very much for all the work you put into it.

[@catbro16]

Such a great help! Started animation on krita so the gap in complexity between programs was hard to bridge, your video really cleared a lot of my doubts and questions!

[@federicof3086]

I love this animation program. I actually followed your tutorial on the previous version and implemented it on 1.5 and it made working in this program easier. Thank you for posting videos like these to help others learn this amazing animation software.

[@ronharleypantaleon1824]

Does the program already have built in mmfpeg?

[@CandyThePuppy]

This is SO handy. Thanks!

[@cmusics3783]

Very nice! Thanks

[@unlucky7771]

This is exactly what I wanted.....I saw ur OT playlist but momst of the things changed in 1.5 version :>

[@cartoonox9635]

Noble is uploading less videos compared to before . That means he is working hard on Castle Dark and we can expect the series to release in 2021 . Can we?

[@pix3l331]

Almost the end of 2021 (at least in my country), so I don't have high hopes, but hopefully early 2022.

[@helloman4251]

Just getting started and don't know anything. This is a damn awesome video!

[@fen8883]

Thanks brother

[@aljayne9548]

Ahhhhh thank you! Dunno of anyone else had this problem, but the biggest shortcut I had to change was the set key shortcut- it's default setting was Z, and half the time I used "ctrl-z" it would trigger the set key shortcut instead.

[@karaee]

this very helped me out!

[@CrazyHz-xg4it]

Amazing advice wow

[@thegamertorq]

[@ethenlai7747]

Thank you sir

[@salimabenzakour2769]

Thanks :D

[@digital-personal]

Wonderful

[@gargoyled_drake]

if i hit a creator block or down on motivation in general for drawing or animating, i just go to this channel, doesnt matter if i learn something i already knew, i'm sure to still learn something new along the way and most importantly, i open up OT and start drawing!

[@Sonamsingh-vz1ex]

wonderful

[@Aloiiee]

tysm!!! :D

[@woodcharity40]

Thank you so much for this video, I’ve been wanting to get into digital animation but don’t wanna spend so much money for school when I save and not be in debt and learn on my own…I don’t even know how to start but this video is really helpful, I’m good at drawing but I don’t know if my drawings can be animated because there more like sketches and I don’t even know what laptop that I need to get.

[@user-vs3dx5eu6i]

Yes I can't learn opentoonz without u

[@infinitetime3000]

You are really awesome

[@Dayluj32]

THANK YOU! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I've ALWAYS wanted to try animating and never knew how to. I used to though it was the softwares i was using, but even OpenToonz seem complicated and people explain in a complicated way. BUT NOW I'm here with a animation made by myself! I couldn't be happier! Thank you so much again! =D

[@NobleFrugal]

Glad I could help!

[@unr.martyn7216]

Thanks for save my money :)

[@K150arts]

thx for this, i was very confused by 1.5 lol

[@beberenice5522]

Very true

[@ihavespoken9871]

I’m using OpenToonz 1.7 and this tutorial is still very relevant. I have always wanted to get into animation but all these softwares were too confusing and complicated, so I’m glad I found a KZbinr that can help me learn the ropes. Thank you so much for making this video.

[@AayanWaqas10]

How much is different in opentoonz 1.7 from 1.5?

[@AayanWaqas10]

I wanted to learn 1.7 but I couldn't find any tutorials lol

[@KKEXPERIMENTALS]

Please post more videos on how to add audio

[@TheBereangirl]

"Animation IS HARD!" Well spoken, sir. It sure IS, but I LOVE how you make it look SO easy. I think after a year or so of hard work, maybe I could be...eh, okay at it.

[@NobleFrugal]

Just focus on learning and practicing the 12 principles and your progress will be rapid. Trust me. Once I stopped ignoring the basic principles, my work improved drastically.

[@forwarduntodawn285]

Hey , do I necassarily have to get that drawing iPad , or can I also draw using a mouse ( I kinda cant afford a tablet now)

[@farofa2843]

one of the reasons i truly want a digital tablet

[@paragmahajani5450]

Hello, Nice tutorial. Thank you. I have a very specific question. If I want to create a flip book for my daughter then can the software make the individual pages of movements for me? So I can print them and bind them to get the flip book for her.

[@gargoyled_drake]

Hey sebastian, i was getting an idea of taking a custom color from a video game and adding it to some animation i wanted to do over it, but i can't seem to find anywhere to add the hexcode in opentoonz, do you know if it's possible by default or if i have to add something to opentoonz to use hexcode insertion ?

[@draftycactus7377]

Will you do a tutorial for the bloom affect

[@whosfredol5194]

u have saved me from flipaclip thank u

[@beckoning-chasm]

Question: This is a very newbie question, so please excuse my ignorance. Can graphics be imported into OpenToonz and animated, or do they have to be made in the program itself? I typically create PNG files which I import into (an old version of) Flash.

[@joselynesalomon9157]

what throws off is the step sequencer. i ntally associate it with a soft/clip whether it's being used or not. also when you do

[@user-mm1ns7oz4b]

Hey, thank you very much for the review. How do you add electric app to the tracks? (Real electric app)

[@restingsox9022]

@NobleFrugal Studio Can u tell me what brushes r the best and smoothest as when i use the default one it is not very smooth. Thanks

[@ronaldiplodicus]

You should add video chapters based on the timestamps already in the description. Would make it easier to navigate.

[@starfilmproductions_]

How do add the voices with opentoons? Like how would I be able to add a voice to my characters I create?
