It's very weird to me how these high quality videos get such little views. Honestly, even though I don't animate or something, seeing these different software being compared is great. It allows for a beginner to get a decent basic grasp, without having to spend hours and hours going "Which one is best for me????" Then they can go and search whichever one they like more in depth later.

What's actually funny about Opentoonz X-sheet being vertical is, that's how all of my x-sheets were in college when studying Traditional Animation. Seems to me to be an homage to the original layout of the X-sheet

OpenToonz's vertical 'timeline' is a hark back to when X-sheets (exposure sheets) were on *paper*. So calling the horizontal timeline 'traditional' IRKS me.

to be fair, moho drawing tools don't support bitmap drawing as the other type like opentoonz (it used to be at 13, but not anymore with 13.5). Moho leans more on vector drawing, you can still achieve what you want, but need to be creative and adaptive with the software. The uniqueness of moho is in its bone system, which has some interesting features like 3d software- but for 2d. It makes rigging way more fun than usual :v

Great Tut! But you should have mentioned that Moho was earlier called 'Anime'. Which was once very popular. This software first introduced the rigging / skeleton / bones into 2D Animation software.

You can't have a competition without a winner, right? So, let's compare these two programs. OpenToonz is tailored for traditional frame-by-frame animation, giving you that classic feel. Its vertical timeline reflects the way animators worked in the past, honoring that legacy. On the other hand, Moho is more about vector graphic editing, which means painstakingly crafting every aspect of each character. It's a toss-up between doing things in one go versus the repetitive nature of frame-by-frame animation. Neither choice will magically make you a better artist or animator. It all boils down to your preferred style and workflow. OpenToonz shines for traditional animation, while Moho suits those looking for a quicker, more digital approach. In the context of frame-by-frame animation, OpenToonz comes out on top for its versatility. It offers a more modern, digital-friendly workflow compared to Moho's constraints with its bone tool rigging system. However, Moho wins if you need sophisticated vector graphic rigging capabilities, which OpenToonz lacks. Rather than declaring a winner, it's about finding what works best for you. Once you commit to a path, switching becomes increasingly difficult. Animation demands patience and dedication. If you're considering OpenToonz, sticking with it, especially as an open-source option, might be your best bet. Subscription fees for animation software can add up over time, particularly if you're working independently. It's a risk, especially if you encounter financial difficulties and can't afford to keep up with payments. In the end, whether you choose OpenToonz or Moho depends on your needs, preferences, and long-term plans in the animation industry.

I'd love to see Synfig vs Moho. The two look similar but have their differences. I'd like to see you do an indepth dive into the two softwares and see how they compare.

MOHO vs. Cartoon Animator 5 would be very interesting. The prices are similar, and the features too. Difficult decision.

How can you say that OpenToonz is not friendly user, for each user things are different, for example, for me Moho is not friendly user, while OpenToonz it is, by the way OpenToonz timeline (x-Sheet) posted vertical is the way animation was done before computer animation came along. The pro way of animation at Disney, Warner Brothers, etc. was with the X-Sheet vertically, printed on paper, that's the reason why OpenToonz places it that way, because that's how professional animation is done. Cool review though.

Moho supports physics to simulate Wind, collision of objects. But I think Opentoonz doesn't have.

can you please make a video on blender vs opentoonz

when you say "traditionally theyre horizontal timelines" ... before computers, long long long ago... timing was done on DOPE SHEETS which were vertical charts animators placed on the side of their drawing boards with bulldog clips. horizontal charts would have gone across the animation disc and typically they put millions of thumbnails up there as theres less room

This might be a bit of a weird question but what do you use for your videos? (After Effects..?)

I used Moho Studio sort of how people used Abode After Effects for animation

I think Moho is undefeatable in animation application comparison.

This channel gets better every day,, congrats 👏👏

I wanna start a 15min series with open toonz from my manga

The video is very interesting! But I think there are several videos that only make comparisons to the Opentoonz; so I think there should be a fairer comparison with the ENVE as I think it is much more intuitive and practical, like more modern software. ✌🏻

Very insightful video. I like it as well all of your videos :)

Do you think they will ever add the ability to use the wacom express keys?

Even if you said Moho is easier and simpler, but for me it still hard to learn so for now I'll stick with Opentoonz. Perhaps you have youtube channel recommendation for learning Moho fast? But not Domestika, thanks

So OT is basically Smash Melee, and MOHO is Smash Ultimate

this video is soo soo good and informative, But I see the views and I'm confused

What computer or laptop do you guys use? I’m looking to purchase a good one hopefully not overly expensive

Moho pro is $30 on Humble Bundle right now 😁

Gr8 overview, for sure!

Thank you for your great video :)

Inspiration 2D: Moho vs OpenToonz Me who has both: 😎

Nice explaination. 👍❤️

I love open toonz

Ummm you’re actually incorrect if you do paper animation your timeline is a vertical stack of papers that is why animation studio designed it in this fashion. To a traditional animator a sideways timeline is really awkward.

how do both these softwares compare to Animation Paper ?

Wich software is best ?

Yay, #jayblackCult I looove that channel. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Let me say you are super awesome for mention it and all the others. I love this community 😃 and great video. I work a lot with moho. 🤩

How hard would it be to jump from ot to mojo?

Considering the demographic of people that would benefit from this video(beginners) I think leaving out the cheap mojo made little sense. Clearly Moho premium will be the best. But now I can’t help but wonder if ot would be better would be better than the entry Moho, For My budding artist to decide whether animating is their thing or not.

Plz tell me I'm beginner wich software best for me ?

Moho wins 😎

4:34 How do you do this 3D interface effect?

I was actually to able to get moho pro for $240 with a student discount

I used moho, to make conten my youtube channel. i'm beginner, and i saw these apps open toonz. so it's interesting this apps open source and free..

Can you do a premire pro vs Davinci resolve studio 18 comparison. Please

Can OpenToonz do perspective meshes like shown here 10:21?

good video,

Moho has a better logo. Yep.

I predict sense I haven't seen this video, I say that Moho is better because you draw frames quickly, but if you didn't want the animation to look too smooth and weird, I say go with OpenToonz.

for low end pc opentoonz is trash, crashing all the time, moho is the best

Toon boom harmony is better
