About

Based on the software "Toonz", developed by Digital Video S.p.A. in Italy, OpenToonz has been customized by Studio Ghibli, and used for the creation of its works for many years. Dwango has launched the OpenToonz project in cooperation with Digital Video and Studio Ghibli. OpenToonz can be used free of charge for both commercial and non-commercial projects. Available as an open-source so that anyone can modify its source code freely. We aim to develop a new platform for connecting the academic research with cutting edge animation production.

About

PaperAnimationLab is a browser-based animation tool for making short videos and GIFs with a handmade paper look. It provides effects for searching and animating newspaper text, crumpling and unfolding paper, revealing cutout edges, adding line wobble and paper grain, and creating origami-style transitions. Users can arrange effects on a timeline, preview changes in the browser, and export finished animations for use in video projects. The product is aimed at video editors, motion designers, animators, and content creators who want paper-inspired motion without building each effect from scratch. Its workflow centers on editable motion effects and visual controls, supporting experiments with collage, editorial graphics, title treatments, and other short-form animation. The site describes the tool as free to use and presents it as a web experience, so users can work in a browser rather than install a desktop editor.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Works fine for animation, you can draw and the tools are decently understandable. It works. You'll make what you wanna make.
  • Animation, EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK A MILLION YEARS TO DRAW SOMETHING TO ANIMATE. so pretty much nothing PLEASE I AM A ZELDA FAN WHO WANTS TO ANIMATE! IT IS MY DREAM! But OpenToonz ruins it all. destroys dreams, destroys the life of my Linkle.
  • Best software I ever found. Very easy to use. And when i had a question, Rodney replied me very fast.

Cons

  • You cant have layers, fps alters every part of your animation, you cant decide what color or opacity you want your brush to be, only a whole layer, there is no autosaves or backup saves, brushes, undos, etc. all lag behind your movements horribly.
  • Everything else. ruins my drawings when i work on them. crashes and deletes my work.
  • Nothing. I like everything about it. It made everything very easy.
