Research For Project: Other Animation Programs

The final part of my research~

Other Animation Programs

Flash is most certainly not the only animation program available, there are many more usable animation softwares that vary from skills, prices and impact.

Toon Boom Studio 4:

Possibly one of the best animation programs yet. Made for animators, by animators and excellent for learning how to make cartoons.

Animationish

A more simple animation program which is great for lerning the basics of cartoons.

Flip Boom

A much more simple animation program made by the “Toon Boom” creators more for kids to use due to it’s simple tools.

After Effects:

One of the hardest animation programs to use but nevertheless, still an animation program.

Pencil:

Allows vector and bitmap drawings. Much like a combination of Photoshop and Flash. A great introductionary animation program.

Synfig

Great for lighting and camera effects.

CreaToon

Similar to Toon Boom but a little more simple however, bitmap images come in handy.

Toon Boom Digital Pro

Strictly for professionals only, an amazingly effective animation program.

Toon Boom Studio Express:

Unlike Toon Boom Digital Pro, Studio Express is an effective beginners animation program to use.

SWiSH

A great effects animation program mildly similar to Flash.

Ulead Gif Animator

Old school animation software, simple and uses the .gif format.

TV Paint

A very effective program and a professional one is also available.

Plastic Animation Paper

A brilliant almost-traditional software. Free trials and a professional version are also available.

Motion Studio

Only really useful for loops and slideshows as it can only write in .exe files.

Pro Motion

Close up pixel manipulation is what this program is used for, perfect for gamers to create sprites and pixel-characters.
