There are other packages available for the novice animator, but this isn’t software for novices. Price: £595/$876 for an annual subscription of Harmony PremiumĮase of use: Toon Boom’s Harmony Premium is aimed at professionals. Here’s one of our videos that I think really highlights the quality of animation that you can get with After Effects. The software is continuously updating and improving in order to stand out as one of the best options when it comes to animated video production.Įxample: Here at Wyzowl, we actually use Adobe After Effects ourselves. Quality: Adobe After Effects is pretty much industry standard quality. Overall, Adobe After Effects will take some time to get used to, but once you master it you should be creating animations that will compete with even the best of animated video production companies! There are default animations to choose from for people that are new to the software, and there are lots of tutorials and cheat sheets on the Adobe website. However, that doesn’t mean it cannot be mastered by the laymen. Price: £205/$301 for basic individual use for one yearĮase of use: Adobe After Effects is quite a high-level animated video production software, widely used by professionals. The quality of the video is nice enough, but it’s important to remember that this has been created by the professionals, an amateur could spend weeks trying to create a video of the same quality. And, with 300 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute, it’s important to make sure you stand out.Įxample: Below is an example of a short animation from the Anime Studio YouTube Channel. The tools are basic, and although tools like the character wizard seem great (especially because of the time-saving aspect), the end result makes for an unoriginal video. Quality: This product is perfect for people with a low budget, but unfortunately this is reflected in the quality of finished videos. The software has a great feature called, ‘Beginner’s Mode’, which literally walks you through everything, step-by-step, until you feel ready to navigate it yourself.Īnime Studio Debut 10 also includes handy tools such as auto lip-syncing and a character, props, and scenery wizard for even more ease when creating your animation. Price: £33.98/$49.99 for the latest versionĮase of use: Anime Studio is animation software aimed at people who are completely new to animation, or that like to create animated videos as a hobby.
