    This video will show you how much better OpenToonz is compared to Animate. It has more brushes and more flexibility and has a bitmap alternative other than Animate. Animate is most likely to be puppetry with vectors while OpenToonz is more for traditional animation (frame by frame). OpenToonz is also free which makes it more accessible to everyone. Even though Toonz has no objects compared to Animate, this program could be all you need.

    Hi. Thanks for including some clips from my channel here. Regarding the OpenToonz review, you're showing mostly out of date versions of OpenToonz in this demo; some here are 3 years old. The last 2 versions (for 2 years now) have had a horizontal timeline. And in the latest version, this is shown in the first room that you see and use, so the xsheet really is just a separate option that most new users won't ever see, so I wouldn't put that down as a problem. But overall, this was a good summary of some of its features. And I'd say, after using both software, I wouldn't use Adobe Animate if it was free. OpenToonz has all the features I need and then some.

    @@zoro_kun_no_chichi I still remember how hard it was just to reduce opacity of a layer for using it as rough sketch/reference. There wasn't any option for that. No way of drawing rough. Even in flash onion skin didnt have any color, we had to change the color of previous and next frame for that, I wonder how could anyone pay monthly for a software like that.

    It does! Though the terminology is different. Any timeline (scene) can be placed into any other timeline as a sub-Xsheet and transformed (tweened) if required. Changes made to the original scene cascade through the entire project. Sub-Xsheets ARE the same as (and in some regards better than) re-usable clips in other software.

    Opentoonz footage: extremely technical, polished Ghibli animation. Adobe Animate footage: *Generic badly animated corporate art* Was there _no_ examples of good animation you could have used for Adobe Animate? I'd never pick it over OpenToonz, but hot damn, you guys were being pretty unfair.

    I know I'm late on the comment, and certainly agree with. I found some that might be a plus. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Grojband, Tom and Jerry show, Aggretsuko 2016-18, Eliot Kid, Teen Titans Go!, Rick and Morty, on the shows listed also had Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. However because the limitation of adobe animate, I'm not surprised that the listed also use other programs such as after effects, photoshop, toon boom and maya and others. Though these are more towards tv series and pro's doing work, not just hobbyists or beginners. In the end, It'll just be preference. However It is a shame this video leads towards a biased opinion rather than actually trying to compare fairly.

The effort to find something big such a Naruto and than comparing it to the basic tutorials in adobe really is not a fair comparison. Please do plenty of looking around before comparing products, it shows a biased point of view. It's unfair for everyone who's looking into which to spend their time finding one right for them.

    As much as Adobe sucks as a company, their software is incredibly reputable, would trust it on any PC. Opentoonz isn't quite as well known of a brand, but you've definitely heard of at least one or two major productions it's been used for. As long as you download either one from its actual official source, there should be no malware issue. And if you get it from there and your antivirus flags it, it's a false alarm. That just happens from time to time
