"Software isnt everything" is the best thing I´ve heard Today. But just wanna add: Photoshop HAS a Timeline, Tweeening, Onion Skins & Export as Movie Files, too. It´s under Windows -> Timeline, and even if it works a little weird to get used to it and it doesnt work with stuff like Audio Scrubbing it´s kinda nice that they addded it in the newer Versions (I think CS6 and higher?)

If they don't add export as mp4, you need to a gif converter.

If you animate a bouncing ball in TVP it will look just like you drew it. If you animate the same ball in Flash or Hamony it will strobe. Meaning the ball will seem to flicker on and off or that you can't exactly place your eye on the ball. The feeling of TVP animation is closer to that of actual hand drawn animation in my opinion. TVP brush capabilities in particular the water colors and pencils are unparalleled.

Software isn't everything, words to go by

I like using Krita, because it has the layout I want for animation, and it has multiple brushes and colors! For me it feels like Photoshop and Flash mixed together

​@@That-Nu-Metal-Guitar-Player I heard that kritas animation feture downgraded in the last patch for the app

I animated my whole diploma animation in Photoshop just to prove a point to my professor who said its not possible hahah. And I did it in CS3 version no less. But CS6 has frame-by frame timeline (I don't like the default other one) and it's the most natural way to animate for me. I have pencil 2D and it's very nice and simple. Krita bugs out for me and I can't do anything in that program when it comes to animation. I also have old version of Toon Boom and it's alright but kinda hard to get used to. I am wondering about TVPaint for ages because it really looks close to just hand-animation everything and that's what I'm into. Tho on the other hand Toon Boom is industry software so maybe I should invest my time into that if I want to go professional??

Thank you for trying out Pencil2D, hopefully we can continue improving it so it becomes a natural choice for most users to use anytime you're not using more robust software. As Toniko mentioned the software doesn't make the animator, while Toonboom is leading in the software market for TV Shows and Feature films, it has a lot of learning materials and you wouldn't be working on all of it's features as a studio animator, although most definitely it would be important to learn about rigging and compositing nodes to fix hiccups during your workflow instead of holding yourself back while waiting for a rigger to be available. TVPaint is mostly used for European movies and certain Japanese TV productions, while it's very well known and very good for traditional animation it still has some quirks that doesn't make it as suitable for tv production, however it's less "technical" so If you learnt Harmony first, picking TVPaint can be easier since the technical marvels they have (like CTG layers or the Keyframer) are secondary to drawing itself, meanwhile in Harmony there's a definite mixture of technical tools that can improve workflow efficiency for any kind of audiovisual product you want to make :)

Very well-made and informative video, thank you!

Thank u for this vid! I used to draw on Rough Animator, on iPad. Recommend it. Animation Desk: not bad too. I’m now going for ps & after effects

I think the best software that feels like paper is Clip Studio Paint, and you can animate too.

If you like to animate on paper and are just looking for line test, there is a little software called image to avi. It's very easy to use and I really appreciate it.

I'd like to suggest aseprite as well. it has a heavy focus on pixel art but you can zoom out and draw at higher resolutions as well. It's one of the few where the interface is pretty friendly and the buttons do what you'd hope they do (somehow i had lots of problems with loosing frames in pencil 2d...) And gif exporting is as painless as it gets (much friendlier then doing it in photoshop!) It goes for about 15 bucks, imo nice and breezy to work with even if just for roughs

Great channel so much useful information man!

I’d much rather use the software, think of the PAPER you’ll save!

First tried Photoshop...didn't understand a damn. Went to Animate. Hated it because it doesn't feel like drawing on paper or photoshop. Its too digital and I don't like that. Then tried toonboom. It wasn't bad. It felt more like drawing on paper than Animate but it still didn't have the feel I was looking for. Then went to TVPaint and its everything that I've always wanted. Its soooo much better to animate in TVPaint than in any other software that I've tried. Loving it so far

Good advice

Thanks a lot ;) great video

4:29 The 2D animation software is also be used in the upcoming Animaniacs reboot for Hulu.

Great presentation of different approaches in 2D animation! I prefer to use Adobe Animate for animation and edit with Adobe Premier. I am not a beginner. I have been working with Flash for more than 20 years, it is a very convenient and logical program.

Software isnt everything, but its definitely something

I am now a fan of your artwork. someday hope to work with you. when I get better of course.

I'm using Photoshop for my animatic and I have a lot of fun with it actualy

Do you have a video that talks about inking an animation? If you don’t, could you please make one?

4:00 Titmouse in Vancouver used that animation software in the upcoming Animaniacs revival for Hulu.

Are any of these programs you mentioned able to import audio files like Audacity so lip syncing can be properly achieved by animating to existing dialogue and not the other way around? Thanks.

Sketchbook from autodesk has animation, i think that clip studios have animation too. I think even medibang has one?

how about firealpaca??? I use it because it's comfortable but it's not the best with onion skinning i believe

I personally use Photoshop cs6 to animated but because I don't have the "Photoshop cs6 extended" I can't use onion skin, timeline or adjust the time and stuff that they say they can do (I can do some of it but it limited to some features and it's so annoying) So I have to get all the Frames and put it in editing software instead (just like in the video)

I've tried to learn Flash for years and could never really get the hang of it, but I tried pencil 2D (or something similar?) and it was super easy!

I love working in photoshop as I love my brushes and stuff I’ve collected but the lack of audio scrubbing support is extremely inconvenient for my workflow. Heavily considering tvpaint

I wish that clip studio paint had a better animation feature setup. You can still animate frame by frame on it but they way you get frames on a timeline is pretty weird and unintuitive. It is still good as an illustrating tool.

I use toon boom, flash, photoshop, krita, blender, after effects. Whatever works.

May I ask: is it possible to copy my full colored frames (drawn in another painting software) into opentoonz or 2dpencil? Like, if I have all the frames already finished, just stick them together with that software and export them?

thanks

I've tried everything and the only animation software that I'm comfortable with is sketchbook, I want to animate but I can't find any tools that have the same feel as sketchbook has, also I use a wacom cinqt 13 and software's like krita take up too much if the screen and I end up having the smallest room to draw. Any help?

I heard you can have timeline in photoshop too, is it still better to do in photoshop+premire? What do you think?

the animations on my channel are made with Krita :)

It's quite pricey, but once you have the license you keep it forever (or until you decide to upgrade). Unlike Adobe softwares or Toon Boom that are subscription based. There's a free version of TVPaint for Android devices the only snag is you can't export projects only save the project files. And the trial version is also free forever. I hear you about Blender, though, the grease pencil feature is pretty cool.
