    Onion Skin: *explains all the cool stuff you can do with Toon Boom Harmony in dept*
    Me: *Doesn't even know how to create a new frame without making it a keyframe*

  • @nullreferenceexception9327

    I use it the simple way.
    Draw add frame and draw add frame.
    Remember guys animating is fun.
    Infinite possibilities!

      100 CENTAGE / 100PERCENT I animated much more on the left end of the spectrum, aka frame by frame, would you say this toon boom is worth the price for animators such as myself? As opposed to other softwares like RoughAnimator or procreate 5? Thank you!

    Well explained! Definitely gonna pass this along to people when they ask me for help. It's a good way to explain at its core the fundamental differences between Harmony and programs like Flash when it comes to layers, drawings, and keyframes (which for me has always been the most laborious part of trying to explain what's analogous between Flash and TB).
    I've been using TB since 2017 (your tutorials were incredibly helpful in getting me up to speed) and I knew a lot about what's going on under the hood, but this still pointed out some interesting aspects about what all's tied. E.g., I didn't know that duplicate with timing only would sync functions and keyframes for elements that were already defined.

    This is such a great vid! Honestly I remember having a bit of a learning curve when I first switched from flash to harmony but I'm glad I stuck it through because once you get over that initial feeling it becomes such a powerful program! I remember I actually watched your flash to toon boom vids to get me used to it back when you were doing that series aha!

      I am just switching over from Flash as well, I’ve almost completely permanent switched over but one thing I can’t seem to figure is toon booms version of Flash’s symbols. Would you happen to know anything about that?

    • @Makaruu
      @Makaruu 2 года назад +1

      @@housebased7 Ah! Yes that is big change from flash to toon boom/harmony.
      While Harmony has a library of sorts as well it actually works quite differently than flash. The one in Harmony is shared across all your files and tends to mostly be used for reusing assets and importing templates and such for big productions.
      Onion skin actually had a little video on it way back before Toon Boom's Harmony version came out but the theory of the library and it's use is still the same so it should help explain that a bit!
      ruclips.net/video/lVZ7tAl_LLU/видео.html
      The drawing subsitute feature with the sliders is something that is now a seperate feature from the library so you'll be using that more in the case of lip syncs and such!
      Instead of flash's symbol system, Harmony uses something called "Pegs" which is essentially a much more usable and is a lot more flexible with how you use it. Depending if you're using Harmony Premium you can also manage those in the "node view" which is it's own other topic but if you're using Advanced or Essentials you don't have to worry about all that!
      Hope that helps a little at least!

And, the information you share with us here is exceedingly helpful, and the way you present it really does help to make some of these more complicated topics more digestible and comprehendible.
    I found you through Animoot, and while that has come to an end, I am happy to see you continuing to share your insights here!

    I don't get when people say they "dont like harmony but I like tvpaint, flash, or Adobe cc." Harmony is ALL of these things in one! By Just watching ONE tutorial I can animate on harmony! People also it's hard to navigate. Well I say to them: "Hey, um, theres this thing, you know, called RUclips! They have these things called TUTORIALS! Watch 'em!" Now I understand if you get mad with harmony for deleting your work the first time (that happened to me🤣) but every program dose that at least ONCE! (Ok flip clip did that to me like 4 times and I disowned it, lol!😅) What I'm trying to say is that harmony 17 is a good software. I love it! It saved animating for me! I was using krita before and SERIOUSLY almost stopped animating until i watched a youtuber animate with harmony and i was like "😯😄I need that!" Now I animate just fine with harmony! Like, best 2d animating software ever! Whoever made harmony was a genius! 😁

      @OnionSkin  3 года назад +1

      Paste cycle will do what you’re after!
      This is however the core difference between the two programs in my opinion.
      The exposure/drawing substitution system is a lot like a graphic symbol how you can tell it to display any of the contained drawings at a time.
      But auto infinite play isn’t how the program is designed. So although everything gets referenced like symbols do, the playback is manual. This is for reasons that make more sense the deeper you get into program

    I just wanted to understand if I would like this program before even getting it, and this was a great video for that.
    This program seems a bit more difficult to comprehend but very similar to Flash. In fact, it looks like what Flash could have been if Adobe would actually try to improve it a lot more than they currently do.
    I really want to give it a try now
