Toon Boom Animate Demo Video Part.2

[OfficialChipwrecked]

Hey. With the lipsyncing part, I cant map the mouth because there is no animation option at the top. Plz help!

[ToonBoomAnimation]

@OfficialChipwrecked Please post your question in the Animate Forum. Have you created your library of mouths?

[OfficialChipwrecked]

@ToonBoomAnimation No. I don't know how to. Does it tell you how in the video?

[ToonBoomAnimation]

@OfficialChipwrecked Not in this demo. We do have a great video tutorial available about that topic. The title is: Animation Tutorials: Chapter 20 - Animation Sound. You need to go to the Video Tutorials page (under Resources) from Animate page on toonboom dot com

[milane101]

where did u get this character from?

[ToonBoomAnimation]

@milane101 This character was designed by the Toon Boom Staff.

[Overkillz100]

this is an amazing piece of software. I animate with it, for some reason when i do lip sync the sound isnt sync'd with the lips after exporting any idea why?

[luvpedobera]

How does it know which lip is the upper one or the lower one?

[ToonBoomAnimation]

@luvpedobera Lip sync works when the mouth is built in one piece. You need to create all the mouth shapes in the library and assign the recommended shapes to your mouth shapes. If you decide to create the mouth in multiple parts, the automated lip sync won't work.

[ExiledKraken]

Oh wow. There are so many things in this version it's mind boggling. It looks complicated, but it looks like it makes animating a whole lot simpler. It's going to take me forever to figure all this out XD

[ToonBoomAnimation]

@ExiledKraken There are several free video tutorials for Animate and Animate Pro in Toon Boom's web site. Check them out!

[NextGenAsh]

[NextGenAsh]

Gotta Get This...Make My Anime's. ..:)

[11iluvpurple]

What about frame animation?

[ToonBoomAnimation]

@11iluvpurple Frame animation works perfectly as well.

[annveal5353]

@ToonBoomAnimation Hey, I just got hired by a consulting firm and I have a question. I have been doing paper based animations like common craft, but am trying to move to the digital animated look; basic, explanation video stuff. For these types of animations would you recommend Toom Boom Animate or Toon Boom Animate Pro? What's the difference?

[ToonBoomAnimation]

@annveal5353 The main differences between Animate and Animate Pro are: the availability of 50 special effects, of the compositing network and the ability to move the camera on 3 axes. Detailed information is available online in our site, in the Product Comparison page.

[cdm1179]

how much is it?

[ToonBoomAnimation]

@cdm1179 We currently have a promo at $499.99. We also offer student pricing.

[Faizaldin]

oh my..i have to get this software.so cool

[ea5ymoney]

wtf flash is dog shit compared to this, i feel like a dumb ass tryin to use flash but i will feel at home with this

[ToonBoomAnimation]

@ea5ymoney That is quite a colourful statement :) Please make sure to let us know how much you like Animate 

[Typingoctopus]

can you scan drawings into toon boom animate?

[ToonBoomAnimation]

@Typingoctopus Yes you can

[JesseDark101]

2 questions. Does Digital Pro have the lip-sync feature, too? AND - When I want to make a movie in DVD quality. Can Digital Pro help me by doing scenes with a cartoon creature in a real movie with real human actors? And - HOW?

[ToonBoomAnimation]

@JesseDark101 Animate Pro has now replaced Digital Pro. Animate Pro has lip synch capabilities, delivers HD quality and enables you to mix live action with cartoon characters, a la Roger Rabbit. You need to import a sequence of images into Animate Pro and lay out your animation on top of it.

[JesseDark101]

@ToonBoomAnimation

Hi, unfortunetly I bought a copy of Digital Pro. But I didn't take a look in the program so far. So - What features has Digital Pro? The lip-sync? HD quality? Live action and cartoon mixing?

[ToonBoomAnimation]

@JesseDark101 Where did you buy it from? This product has been phased last year....

[JesseDark101]

@ToonBoomAnimation My cousin

[StupidParrotTV]

I have a question about when creating a character. How do i make a bac side and front side of the character. Also i'm not sure how 2 save the character.

[zigzag747]

$999.99??? HOLY SNAP THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY! Why does it cost so much? :(

[Quoranation]

As of late I've been to the site and they dropped the price to $699.99.

Thank goodness I think I would have given up on purchasing Toonboom Animate if it weren't for the permanent price drop.

[0oroniiieo0]

god i wanna learn me that program

[DaGarebear]

Moob Noot

[sonyradio2]

TOON BOOM>FLASH CS4

[clym3danimator]

Is it possible to have flow (like photoshop) on a brush?? if so how?

[TheOriginalStriker]

I have the demo. How can i get a white background? my background is grew

[jmheather]

Preferences > General > Edit Colours > Views > Clear

Change the swatch from gray to white, and then restart the program.

[andrewdude1]

when it comes to imported sound, i can't import .wma? what can i import?

[ToonBoomAnimation]

AIFF, WAV and MP3

[fireseal117]

seems like an awesome program, for a Thousand dollars !!!

I swear theses compainies forget were in a recession. Unrealisic about the pricing ugh

[alston2reel]

i know exactly what you mean there lol

[almondtealeaf2]

Check out their site often sometimes they have discounts. I take advantage of every discount they advertise. I hope by the time Christmas rolls around I can get Animate for much cheaper than the regular price.

[hmoobgirl9]

what is better anime studio pro 5 or toon boom?

[MichaelDamoulianos]

toon boom

[hmoobgirl9]

thanks... i'll try the boon boom then...

[crzysnoman]

awesome i cant wait till it gets done downloading

[WaffleTron]

I just bought Animate and it's barely working on my computer, it freezes up constantly and the reaction time is terrible it takes seconds just to select objects and it has crashed multiple times in the first hour of use!

I have TBS 4 and it works fine, I will be extremely disappointed if I can't resolve this. I'm pulling my hair out and my wallet isn't happy either. :(

Love the way the brush feels though.

[ToonBoomAnimation]

Well, so should contact right away the support team from Toon Boom. It could be related to a configuration issue since the system requirement are different between Anmate and TBS.

[WaffleTron]

It turns out I need a different video card ugh... but I'm glad to know I'll be able to use it!

The brush is better than photoshop or flash for cartooning honestly it feels so amazing to draw in. Strokes that would take me 3 tries to get right in Flash only take one try in Animate.

It is also TEN times easier to rig a character in animate than TBS 4 with all those ugly peg layers that you don't need in animate. I'm so glad you don't have to use pegs in animate.

[Tomekwinxs]

is this better then flash cs4?

[ToonBoomAnimation]

Depends of what you are doing ! Animate is dedicated to animation. It provides a superior feature set for this.

If you are looking for web site, games, or rich internet application creation, then Flash is a better choice.

[dronus]

what toon boom version are you using?

[Samwebisodes]

ToonBoom Animate. It looks awesome!

[dronus]

oh what an idiot...it only says animate on the vid...lol....

yeah it does look pretty sweet...i'm using toon boom 4.5 right now...i'm having some problems right now with an animation, but I'm sure i'll pull through...check out my Mr.Hanky video...lol

[Samwebisodes]

ha nice vid!

[RistesTube]

Actualy you are the idiot, it is Toon Boom Animate 7.6. I have it :)

[TheeFirstAmendment]

yeah I had already called myself the idiot...lol...Looks like I want this one now...which one is the best?

[RistesTube]

Well check the chanel here on YouTube and see they have videos for evry product. I only have animate and its good :)

[mythcartoonist]

I really want tthis program......I want to make my own animation sooooo bad, I have the knowledge, but I have none of the materials *sighs*

[Edel99]

Wow...

[jamalanimation]

the sound is recoreded out side of toon boom animate and imported into the software

[andrewdude1]

i don't get the lip synch part, i cant find where i record the words, and where do i make the mouts?

[ToonBoomAnimation]

With Lip Sync, you first import an audio file (wav, aiff, mp3), then the software detects automatically the phonemes. Finaly you attach your drawings (one per phoneme) and the software places the phoneme drawings in the right order over time.

This part is explained in the Chapter 11 of the Getting Started Guide of Animate.

[SporeFinatic]

You record your voice with anything, Garage Band, Audacity, and probably many more softwares. Toon Boom is not a voice recording software. There are some free ones for download online.

[murtoon]

no but i fall in love

[murtoon]

Nice &BOOOOOOOOOM

[ToonBoomAnimation]

I hope you did not get hurt ;)
