ToonSquid The Best iPad Animation App

[@jtoscanososa]

I have all other iPad apps for animation, Callipeg, Procreate, RoughAnimator etc..… but all pixels and some features are not so practical or their flow it's too elaborated. But ToonSquid seems to have more advanced features more related to After effects! So, wow! Smooth flow and with the option to create and modify vector elements! Thanks for the review!

[@saintsugoi]

i’m a very amateur animator who uses roughanimator but honestly this app seems fuller and more diverse in terms of brushes, features, easy interface, being so similar to procreate, etc.. i think i might actually consider it 👀

[@StayfDraws]

I have a new ToonSquid video out about rotoscoping. You can watch it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZTJiJ2Vj756rNk

[@BeanKally]

I’m stuck with FlipaClip, definitely considering asking my mom if she could buy this for me-

[@saintsugoi]

@@BeanKally i hope she gets it for you!

[@joncarling]

Thank you for introducing this program. I am curious to see how this app compares to Callipeg, the camera is definitely a huge improvement. I appreciate your concise and informative videos. Greetings from California.

[@Kavlor1]

This has vector animation and is cheaper but Callipeg has better audio and timeline handling. I like that you can tap layers directly on the drawing area in this when using the transformation tool, can't do that in Callipeg.

[@joncarling]

@@Kavlor1 Callipeg is great. I think these apps compliment each other.

Cool! The Procreate version of Callipeg, but a lot cheaper in cost

[@Azucenary]

Yea! Kinda upsetting that they used a lot of the ui, hope it becomes more unique cause Callipeg was really nuanced for its design

[@thinguyenhoang5004]

Exactly. I was thinking the same thing

[@George_Parker]

Thanks for introducing us to this app! I’ve been checking out many animation apps and use Moho in my Mac as well as Keynote that allows for fast simple animations. But hadn’t discovered one for the iPad that worked for me. Bought this one and I’m floored by the clean and functional interface, the many options, the combination of traditional animation and key framing, the camera. Hard to believe that 1 person developed it in 2 years! But I’m extremely happy he did!! 🥳 it’s easy to find your way around the app, but yes tutorials would be great. Preferably by setting up a couple of simple projects and taking us by the hand explaining the functions. Thanks again. Highly appreciate your work!

@@StayfDraws Thank you so much for mentioning it! Played around with the app and still think it's great. But some guidance is highly appreciated! thanks again

[@keithtarrier4558]

Great video! Smart move to make it similar to Procreate, as users of Procreate that would be a key target market for this app. (like quite a few art apps over the past 20 years have similar buttons and layout to Photoshop). I am going to get this ASAP!

[@anzatzi]

Great intro--exciting new app on ipad!! Would like to see you character anim dev in more detail. Thanks for sharing!!

I’m not gonna lie, this app is the best so far in term of iPad animation app. I just love it.

I agree ToonSquid is a great app for animation. I have been using it to create my KZbin animations both long form videos and KZbin shorts.

I am deciding on what animation app to get. Callipeg, toon squid, or animation pro. Have used an old version of Moho many years ago. Seems like there are more tutorials for callipeg than the other two apps. Would love to see more tutorials for this app

[@РабиятТемирова-э8д]

Огромное спасибо за знакомство с этим приложением 😊 Я так рада, что зашла на канал. Работаю в Anime studio pro. Также рисую и делаю небольшую анимацию в Procreate. Буду сейчас пробовать себя в ToonSquid😊

[@StayfDraws]

пожалуйста

[@chrissgchriss]

Thanks for this recommendation - trying to find a way to add sound clips for lip sync in Procreate. But this works good too! Just downloaded and very excited!!!

[@alinerdelav]

We cant right?in procreate, add sound

[@saintsugoi]

no unfortunately not, procreate has no sound option :(

[@chrissgchriss]

Hi guys. Been using ToonSquid now exclusively for my animations because of the sound importing. Previously used Procreate for 3 years. Both are good. But Toon easier to animate in.

[@sloppynyuszi]

I bought this the other day. It’s very comparable to Callipeg and more feature rich than rough animator, but to be honest Rough animator is so intuitive, I don’t think I will ever not use that app. Callipeg is nice, but once I start tweening and have many layers the performance drops, bugs creep in and my timeline just looks convoluted. This app looks like it has a learning curve, and the drawing engine isn’t as nice as Callipeg or procreate. The pressure just isn’t as varied, and I’ve played in the brush settings and couldn’t get it to how I like it.

[@Azucenary]

Does the performance of this app hold up better than that of Callipeg’s? And could you specify more about the pressure? I’m trying to see if I should try this app over Callipeg.

i might get toonsquid when i can, it sounds way better than flipaclip (animation program im currently using). i mostly do 12fps and this sounds great! its basically procreate but if it was based around animation and didnt suck at animation.

You can import an image into ToonSquid and animate it.

[@TripFontain]

How do you import PS Brushes I've tried importing ABR Files and the file is always grayed out

[@StayfDraws]

When you have a project open, tab in the brush. Then press on the plus sign in the upper corner. Then tap on import and choose the. Abe brush you have downloaded to the files app on your iPad.

[@TripFontain]

@@StayfDraws I did that but the file is always grayed out

[@StayfDraws]

@@TripFontain I now have the same problem. Maybe it is a bug in the new version. The best way to find out is to go to the ToonSquid forum and post your question.

[@TripFontain]

@@StayfDraws I emailed them and they fixed it 😊

[@geildesignt]

Procreate isn’t that pro like it should. The GUI is really bad. ArtStudio Pro is way better without layer limitations and brushes are still on top available if you need it

Did you figure out if this works on older versions of iPad?

[@saphi20]

ArtStudio Pro also has animation (simpler that toonsquid tho), dont know why people is only able to compare things to procreate... is the most overrated app on iOS ever... :S Anyways, ill be keeping an eye on ToonSquid, looks really good

[@thomashartmann5037]

I think the reason behind Procreate’s popularity is its ease of use in combination with many good features for an iPad user, but of course it all depends on your needs and level of expertise.

[@saphi20]

funny thing is i find procreate way harder and zero intuitive to use unless you read the manual and learn the gesture only tools/hidden tools, meanwhile artstudio has a more robust brush engine and is more like a classic drawing app, whre u can access anything from menus or tie em to gestures/quick menu… but dunno
