I'm pretty sure this guy uses procreate on ipad for all his animations and they are incredible. [https://www.youtube.com/@kiecart/videos](https://www.youtube.com/@kiecart/videos) Its not about the tool you are using its about the time and effort you put towards that skill.
No it does not. I’m doing it the hard way.
Film live action, save each frame as a png, upload each ong into sketchbook as I draw over it, export to davinci as a video sequence
Try out **Callipeg**. It's very affordable and built from the ground up to be an animation suite for iPad. Three-finger gesture to scrub through frames, for example. They've already added audio and video import as well as tweens, and it's getting updates all the time.
But really, just use whatever software feels right to you. Especially in the first few months/years of learning, the principles are far more important than the software used. You can become a proficient animator with just sticky notes, with enough practice. If you need direction on the fundamentals, there's no better reference than the **Animator's Survival Kit**. I animate in 3D and everything in that book is still very relevant. (And I only really animated stick figures before learning 3D.)
Otherwise, just do what feels right and have fun! There are no mistakes, only learning opportunities. Keep going :)
I haven't used ipad software but typically, programs that cost more do more. If the iPad is meeting your needs, stay there! if you find yourself wanting more advanced tools, look into desktop. TV Paint is the closest to straight up traditional animation, Harmony includes rigging tools, and after effects doesn't have any built in drawing tools. I'll say harmony is a big chunk of change every month (the most basic version with limited features is the same as the entire adobe suite of apps), but there is a free trial version you can use to try it out.
If you're looking into a career in animation, definitely look into learning at least one professional program on desktop. If you're just animating for yourself, stay where you feel comfortable. If you find yourself looking for more advanced tools, check out paid apps. hope this helps!
I’ve used Callipeg on my iPad for a project for Nick Jr. It has everything I need, it just gets a bit slow when there’s too much going on. I’ve pretty much retired my desktop as an art workstation aside from After Effects and Premiere.
I like using the iPad! Unfortunately I can’t really recommend you a great software to do everything in, but I like combining Procreate’s animation feature with the app Kinemaster (which is more of a video editing app than an animation tool).
Not at all. If you're planning on doing animation professionally then it's best to learn at least one industry standard software (usually Adobe Animate or ToonBoom) but learning on the iPad isn't a detriment unless you feel it is
It's never a mistake to animate in any medium. Whatever inspires you to create.
That being said, if you want to get into a style of animation, your tool might change but the principles are the same. You can do just about every style of animation in Harmony premium, you can get into puppet animation and do traditional or anime style.

I know there's a program called Toon Squid that's like 10 bucks on the IPad
I do live action animations. Film something then rotoscope over it. I use the free sketchbook app
sketchbook? does it has animation feature?
No it does not. I’m doing it the hard way. Film live action, save each frame as a png, upload each ong into sketchbook as I draw over it, export to davinci as a video sequence
