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

Synfig Studio is a free and open-source 2D animation software, designed as a powerful industrial-strength solution for creating film-quality animation using a vector and bitmap artwork. It eliminates the need to create frame-by-frame animation, allowing you to produce 2D animation of a higher quality with fewer people and resources. Transform any vector shape into another! Synfig gives you powerful tools for full control of your vector artwork. Just set the key positions and the intermediate frames will be calculated automatically. Synfig provides more than 50 layers to create illustrations and animations of any complexity. Choose from several types of layers: geometry, gradients, filters, distortions, transformations, fractals and others. The full-featured bone system allows you to create cutout animations using bitmap images or control your vector artwork.

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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Many features (just for free) that can reduce the great effort to animation beginners (who may be weak in the drawing).

Cons

  • Takes too long to master it. In the beginning, the interface looks like an impossible task to accomplish.
