TOON BOOM HARMONY: REVIEW from a BEGINNER ANIMATOR + SPEED ANIMATION

[@StacyCee]

Are you gonna try out Toon Boom? Comment your thoughts on the program down below! ♡ A few other things I would like to mention about the program: 1. It does have very large file sizes... so sometime you might experience it not responding... but usually you can wait it out and it will go back to normal 2. Toon Boom's price of $12 is actually a discount that will end soon so it's usually $15 a month (still cheaper than Animate) 3. If you're a student, you can get a discount for every single Adobe Creative Cloud app for only $20 a month the first year (but then $30 a month the following years) AND! You can monetize even with the student discount! 4. Toon Boom has a lot of cool effects in the program, including a camera! (forgot to mention it in the tutorial, but its really cool and useful!)

[@DeclinedJester]

I liked to but i might wait till I could get drawing pad or something :p

[@StacyCee]

@@DeclinedJester Oh yeah, a drawing tablet? I mean its possible to do animations with a mouse but I personally think a drawing tablet's really important... well good luck! :)

[@DeclinedJester]

Thx btw the art styles I like are big heads with tiny body's so if I ever do animating I'll tell you

[@StacyCee]

@@DeclinedJester No problem and okay :)

[@rosebattle3310]

I use flipclip and my animation sucks. You can tell by my vids XD also I love ur art style and animation!!!

[@cupiiids2025]

In my digital design class this semester, were focusing on animation, as well as 3D in animation! We’ve been using photoshop for a while now, and I’ve been going to the school about 4 or so years, and I’m in the 8th grade now. I don’t know what program we are using for animation this year, but I believe it’s from a adobe. Not too sure uwu 💗💞

[@EidorianKun]

I would definitely consider toonboom when I upgrade. Thanks to this!

[@kemo7821]

I tend to use firealpaca for key frame drafts and krita for animations because of the potential to customize the entire program more than others. Toon boom was a great program and felt great to use but animations is a hobby for me so I stayed with krita Also your animation skills are great, keep up the good work

[@StacyCee]

Thanks! :D Yeah... I tried Krita at one point, but the pen pressure didn't seem to work? That's why I stuck to drawing everything in Firealpaca and then piecing it together in Macromedia Flash MX 2004 (old version of Adobe Animate... like really OLD xD)

[@crowloaded]

CeeSaw When I was drawing with Krita the pen pressure didnt work either, but I just had to redownload my tablet driver for the pressure to work.

[@JakeeBoss]

What was the other animation software you used? The free one.

[@lemoncommentary6602]

Yeah! I was actually using toon boom before this came out, but I'd rather be watching this video more than me drawing for 3 hours and it still looking like garbage. So thank you for posting. 😁 (Edit) NANI! HOLY FRICKIN' SUPUH CRAP! I GOT PINNED. AND SHE REPLIED :0 wow das coowl.

[@StacyCee]

Aww well thanks! :) Glad this was entertaining! :D But good luck with your drawing

Well thanks! :D

How many subscribers you hope to get in the end of augest

@@DeclinedJester Umm... I don't know :P Well originally I had a goal of 1000 by one year after my first video (which is in September)... but since I reached 1000 already I don't really have a goal in mind yet :P

Oh well I hope you get 2000

[@StacyCee]

@@DeclinedJester Aww thanks! :)

[@rayrichbrown]

I use toon boom, I’m still learning.

[@PaintToolCy]

This is such a good video! :0 I tried the trial for ToonBoom a few weeks ago and I fell in love with it! It just has a smoother workflow for me than Animate! I really love how all the tools work (the tool that erases overlapping lines is a life saver lol) and overall the layout is perfect! I will say opening the program for the first time is a little overwhelming, but after watching a few videos I understood what everything meant. (I also don't really like the timeline as well, I'm too used to the Animate timeline lol)

[@PaintToolCy]

Also just wanted to say the way you animate is so pretty!

[@StacyCee]

Thanks! :) And yes... well I've never tried Animate but I was using the old version of it, Macromedia Flash... so I was pretty used to the timeline there (which I'm assuming is very similar to the Animate timeline). I feel like the cutter tool is what really made me say like... this is a REALLY good drawing program xD I definitely had no idea to do when I first opened the program, so the tutorial I watched (by Jesse J. Jones) was a total life saver :P

[@nullreferenceexception9327]

What I like to do with the timeline is to put the exposure one less and copy *drawing* into a different frame and works and if you want to put it between the frame you can do the same thing like after copying the drawing and pasting it you can copy the drawing again or the frame and then put longer exposure after that other frame Sorry it might be really hard to understand

[@StarAnimations]

Toon boom is a great program! I use it as well!

[@StacyCee]

Cool! :D And btw, just check your channel and subscribed! Your animations are really good! :)

Cool! Flipaclip sounds pretty nice! And it's free right? I ended up getting toon boom because I think it has more complex features but I hope to try flipaclip some day :)

[@JVJF7]

Rough Animator is a good option between

Flipaclip is the best mobile animation app tho

I use toonboom as well and I’m a novice animator! Nice to meet you!

[@luke.elshoff]

I think that we can all say that you are a bit better than a beginner in the small story-time animation channels.

[@xl_gtt]

You're the best 😊🥺

[@LennyDaily]

I love your videos but if I were you I would get a new mic, even like a blue snowball would be good, not hating tho :)

[@StacyCee]

Thanks and I totally agree :) Maybe I can ask my parents to get me one for my birthday :P (but that's still a couple months away)

[@voidacle8116]

oooo ToonBoom

[@linguini7294]

I personally use adobe animate, because the learning curve is much much lower. It works for me. I wish a couple of things that are in toon boom would be added in adobe animate, but otherwise, love the program. As for toon boom users, I resepct them a lot. Especially for the most expensive one. It takes months to learn to use it

[@Jamesadamiak]

Great review! Following you on twitter & IG

[@blossomthings7722]

What was the program that you were using before toon boom that you said was free?

[@kainaatzulfiqar1900]

Thank you for this video!!

[@MegaVanthi]

You make amazing sis

[@machmn]

In my opinion, I prefer fire alpaca. However, I haven’t really tried out toon boom yet. It isn’t too late to start.

[@StacyCee]

Oh yes that's what I was using before... I would draw all my frames in Firealpaca and export them into Macromedia Flash to sync to the audio... but personally... for animation, I like Toon Boom better. And especially with syncing to the audio and longer animations, Toon Boom works better than Firealpaca.

[@terryrchannel1315]

Do you know that Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller use this for making SpongeBob Episodes.

[@lucajramirezb]

I used to do story time animations

[@MechaTrekAD]

I don't understand one bit...is it that you can't monetize animation videos made with Toon Boom free version, the full Essentials version, or any? If I can't ever use it on videos I want to monetize it's kind of useless. I am sure you can but I am just trying to understand what I can and can't use.

[@anadilfayaz2764]

drawing panel is not showing art board area? plz help

[@cheddarcheese4159]

So cool Now how draw circle?

[@StacyCee]

There is a tool that allows you to draw different shapes and while I haven't tried it, I'm going to assume it includes a circle. In the video, you will see that tool as the one that looks like a rectangle on the left of the screen tool bar.

[@cheddarcheese4159]

CeeSaw yes but I’m magical, circle tools make ovals for me

[@StacyCee]

@@cheddarcheese4159 Well, if you hold down shift, then it should create a perfect circle.

[@banreese3294]

do you have to pay for toom boom every month

[@StacyCee]

There are a few options :) Currently there is a sale for Toon Boom where you only have to pay $12 per month but you have to pay every month for an entire year... and then after that I believe it is $15 per month for the every month the entire year. If you want to pay one month at a time and not for the entire year, then it is $23 a month... And if you want the software forever (no updates though) then it is $375.... but that's a good deal if you plan on using the software for over 3 years about. Keep in mind I am only talking about the cheapest version of Toon Boom, Toon Boom Harmony Essentials... there are more expensive tiers as well. Hope this helps :) They have all this information on their website as well so if I was unclear you can check there. www.toonboom.com/

[@DarrenJCrawford]

You can take tweening off in the prefs and as for your lip-sync, you copied your drawing instead of making a new drawing. Watch the tutorials on Toon Boom you will learn a lot.

[@StacyCee]

Thank you for the advice! I've been using toonboom for a few months now so most of my problems have been solved hehe.

[@100colorpencils6]

I got the full adobe creative cloud for $6.50 so animate is good for me.

[@manillayoshi2714]

"You can't monetize any videos made with the student discount version" How would that even work? I mean couldn't you just not say which version it was and just monetize it anyway? Or maybe if after you finished the animation you quickly took it into Adobe Premier or MS Movie Maker, saved it thru there and THEN upload the video so technically the final version was made in a different program?

[@StacyCee]

Its toon booms terms of service.. yes you can probably get around it and they won't notice or care but i think it's better to be honest. If you dont abide by the terms of service they could technically sue you although they probably will not.. It's the same with why dont you just do a bunch of free trials with different emails? They probably won't stop you but you shouldnt.

[@Fje8sbbc]

I would love too have it but, Its too much money for me.

[@postitpurple3184]

I might get toon boom but you can get all adobe products for 20$ for a year if you choose the student plan

[@StacyCee]

Very true... which mean you get an editing program and a ton of other stuff I want :P But then it's $30 the second year... :( (But it's an amazing deal, plus, you can monetize with it)
