Storyboard Pro contains all the tools required to create storyboards and animatics.

This software is used in pre-production to create storyboards for a wide variety of project types including 2D and 3D animation, stop motion, and live action productions. Harmony Server is available as an add-on for users of Harmony Advanced and Harmony Premium. It also includes production controls for managing rendering jobs and coordinating batch scanning of paper drawings.

Its centralized database system allows the sharing of assets between scenes and enables the workload to be shared across a studio or between studios. This software provides additional capabilities for teams of animators using Harmony who want to share files and manage assets from a central database that is located on a server. Harmony has been in continuous development since 2005 and has been used on productions like The Simpsons, The Princess and the Frog, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, The Congress and My Little Pony: The Movie, among others. Users can also draw animation directly into the software, using a graphics tablet. Its toolset includes pencil lines with textures, deformation tools, morphing, inverse kinematics, particles, built-in compositor, 3D camera and 2D-3D integration. If you need some help, training is just a few clicks away.Harmony contains the tools required to handle cutout (puppet), paperless frame-by-frame and traditional animation workflows from scanning to compositing and 2D/3D integration. In conclusion, while the interface may seem a little daunting, you'll quickly realise that this animation tool is not much different than Photoshop or Flash – and I highly recommend checking it out. You can even export your movie as a series of JPEGs. However, you can also export your movie as a PNG sequence or as a GIF. Toon Boom Harmony offers a variety of exporting options. So I'd recommended that you consider using a third-party app for the more in-depth sound editing your project may require. However although Toon Boom Harmony does has sound editing capabilities, they are somewhat limiting. Of course, for a more finely tuned animation, you can still opt to sync your sound track and images manually. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you're done. Using the Toon Boom Mouth Chart you can easily get your characters in sync with what their saying. The auto lip-syncing feature is incredible. This technique helps to give your animations a realistic 3D feel. By placing your elements in different layers using Z Depth, and incorporating the True Space camera, you can give virtual depth to your scene. The software allows you to play around and try different thingsĪnother great feature is their True Space Camera.
