#Toon boom harmony 12 tutorials upgrade

In my first 2 weeks I have used 4 of my 24 annual support tickets in relation to questions about removed tutorials, out of sequence tutorials, missing pages in the user guides, wrong information in the Harmony Advanced User Guides, questions about upgrade path for subscriptions and other issues which relate to the muddled introduction of Harmony Advanced. Upsetting the user base is never a good idea, even if most of your revenue comes from Disney. But when your objective is to increase revenue rather than provide a better user experience this sort of outcome can be expected. It is hard to imagine that Toon Boom could always have been so disorganised. I suspect this version will be dropped - its hard to see who would use it, and its going to create lots of angry users who can’t find the functionality described in the user guides. Harmony Advanced appears to have been an afterthought and Toon Boom are still struggling to provide accurate documentation and tutorials for this level of the software.

Toon Boom must be confident about the advantages of their software compare to the competition, but I suspect that, for many, the huge price increase will turn users away. If the upgrade is US$499 for existing users this might not be a big deal - assuming there is extra (and useful) functionality involved.īut for new users to the platform who would previously have purchased Animate Pro, the price increase is nearly 80%.

However, I should point out that there is, currently, no obvious way to upgrade a monthly licence - presumably you have to cancel it and sign up for a different level.Īs someone who is new to this platform, it seems to me that the restructuring of Harmony forces all Animate Pro users to move to the much more expensive Harmony Premium.

If you are project-based this is possibly a viable, and cheaper, option. When you are not using the product you can cancel the subscription. If you are careful, you can subscribe to the basic Harmony software while you do all your drawings and basic animations then change to Premium when you are ready to animate using the more advanced features.

Presumably, the reason that the upgrade prices are unavailable without a serial number is to discourage people from doing exactly this.Īlternatively, you can subscribe on a monthly basis. If the upgrade is US$499 then buy Animate Pro and then upgrade it. However, the muddled tutorials, inaccurate documentation and missing functionality make Harmony Advanced at US$975 a frustrating experience.Īnimate Pro 3 is US$1199. Does anyone know what extra features are provided in Harmony Premium that are not in Animate Pro?Īt US$1975 Harmony Premium is now a very expensive option. There is no information that I can find on the website which explains the huge price increase from Animate Pro to Harmony Premium. It would seem likely that Harmony Advanced was created merely to provide justification for the 80% price increase from Animate Pro 3 to Premium Advanced.

#Toon boom harmony 12 tutorials manual

Harmony Advanced is a waste of time - it is missing too many features the user guides for Advanced are actually the same as the guides for Premium so you can waste a lot of time trying to find menu items or buttons for features which the manual says you should have but which are actually not included in Harmony Advanced. If you are new to this platform it is cheaper to buy Animate Pro 3 and then upgrade to Harmony Premium. If substantially more I will need to consider shelling out for advanced now even though I may not need it … To break up the cost would be nice thoughĪnd yes, i know, i could download the essentials and advanced demos and try both BUT I am trying to short circuit that journey if possible … If it is $99 now and $100 or less down the line to go to advanced, thats fine. I am a hobbyist - so not making money out of my 2D stuff. I am initially considering upgrading to Harmony 12 essentials from TB Studio for $99 BUT how much would it cost me to then upgrade from Essentials to Advanced down the line if I felt the need for the extra features? I can upgrade from TB Studio to Harmony 12 essentials for $99įrom Animate to Harmony 12 advanced for $199 I notice once logged in one can see the costs of upgrading to Harmony 12 from TB Studio and Animate BUT the price is not available if one was to buy Harmony 12 essentials now and then after a while decide to upgrade to Advanced or Premium.
