This can save you a lot of time when animating.

Once you have drawn everything you need, the program can automatically fill in the correct mouth movements based on the sounds you import. In order to use Toon Boom Harmony's automatic lip-syncing feature, you can access the phoneme template - found in resources - to create all of your characters’ common mouth movements for specific sounds. If you’d prefer a program that features audio tools, you might be interested in MOHO Debut. So, you will need to acquire an external audio program if you want your animations to include dialogue. We were surprised and disappointed to discover that you cannot record or edit audio in this software. Toon Boom is different in that it provides all of the animation and drawing tools you could need within the program. Many animating programs, including Adobe Animate and CrazyTalk Animator, require that you rely on external software to access certain drawing or animation tools. Toon Boom has tools for scanning in and cleaning up your work so you can use traditional paper and pencil mediums if you prefer to create that way. The brush opacity and other settings are completely adjustable to make your strokes show up just like they would with paper and pencil.

This software worked perfectly with our Wacom tablet, and we were able to sketch ideas directly into the program.
