Maybe what I should do is still draw the pngs so I can have that folder organization. Also, I do have an easier time making my raster drawings look good than vector. Any time I draw anything in moho, I still have to draw it on paper first to make it look good. With Affinity designer I just go into t...

If I were in your shoes, I might do this. . . Make a Moho project titled "Unit 1" (or whatever). Make a group of 5 or so switch layers, ones that would be re-used a few times. Make another group of single-use switch layers. And then I would animate maybe 30 seconds and render the animatio...

If not, I'll probably try it in Davinci Resolve and end up filling 1TB. Then I'll just get a 16TB, and continue. Unfortunatley that means I have to keep the hard drive connected to my laptop anytime I want to continue a project, but I guess that is fine. I don't really trust too many cloud based sto...

I meant for everything to be in an animatic style. . . Ah! Your visual approach to the project sounds pretty cool. Personally, I like to do a lot of camera-type editing in Moho. In that department, Moho is far, far more powerful than DiVinci Resolve (imo). DiVinci Resolve is where I stitch my expor...

I meant for everything to be in an animatic style in the sense that there are no fluid movement. Every character jumps from pose to pose and certain images flip bck and forth. However, I still wanted there to be color and lighting like a final animation. I was thinking of using the color grading onl...

The way you explain it makes nodes sound not difficult. Maybe I shouldn't rely on past experiences with other programs to determine how I will feel about another one. I will look into davinci resolve again and see how much I understand with nodes.

Davinci Resole is free though and can do alot so maybe I will try it, and see how much I can do without getting into nodes or fusion.

I did start thinking about trying Davinci Resolve, but then when I saw tutorials on the stuff I wanted to do like color grading, I would have to use nodes. I struggled a lot when trying to use blender and working with nodes, and I would rather work with the sliders I see other programs have. I don't...

I think it's pretty neat that you are doing an animation course. Younger me woud have loved to enroll in that course. My best wishes goes out to you and your ideas. I was originally intending on using Shotcut for my final projects when all I was aiming for was simple edits of different shots and sce...

I've done more research, asking people, posting online, and asking company support teams, and I really can't find anything else. Do these things seriously just not exist other than Hitfilm and Adobe? I guess I will consider using either moho or figuring out something with Hitfilm unless I or somebod...

I have an old version of moho so I don't have smart warps. I just realized one problem with trying to use multiple programs, I won't be able to do a parallax zom. If I try to zoom in, it's just going to make the image bigger rather than the parallax zoom that I would want to achieve with a 3D camera...

I was using shotcut. I think you are right about using multiple programs though. I haven't seen people use multiple editors, but it could work if I have good workflow.

I was thinking about doing it in moho, but that would result in many layers, even for a short scene, because the characters would constantly be switching their poses. In an editor and compositor I could just import images and put them onto the timeline together. Also, it seems like most of them do n...

I know zooming and positioning are two different things, but I meant that zooming is another vital feature I need and it seems like most editors can do that. However, I don't really want to be switching back and forth from Hitfilm to another program just to zoom in and out.

I thought of hitfilm free as one option, which has everything I need but zoom in and out apparently. I looked at all the features comparison on the website, and it seems like just zooming in and out is watermarked. I hope I am wrong because I'm pretty sure that is a basic thing most editing software...
