Comments and Reviews
I ignored this application for several weeks, because every article and tutorial I read emphasized its focus on "traditional animation", aka drawing cells one by one. This program is so much more than that, with several (I now know that there are at least four) different animation techniques, including traditional cell-by-cell animation. Once you get a feel for the interface, creating quick vector animations with tweening is a piece of cake.
It's a shame the developer and user community doesn't emphasize the flexibility OpenToonz offers animators, as once you look past the seemingly professional artist-oriented descriptions and tutorials, this is a wonderful application that allows people of all skill levels the ability to create amazing animations very intuitively and quickly.
this software has maaaaany bugs. no basic options like flip canvas
You should try the animation desk or the Windows movie maker. These are the best video maker apps.
thats why people take advantage of its open source license
If it's good enough for Studio Ghibli and Futurama then it's good enough for you. Don't waste your time or your money anywhere else. For 2D animation all you need is right here.
