Hi hi! I’m a rising animator who really wants to learn how to make animatics, but I don’t know what program to use for editing. I was wondering if you had any advice? I really admire your work, so anything you have to say would be super helpful ^^ (I’ve tried capcut because that’s a really popular one, but I don’t like it because it take so much of your information :/)

thank you so much!!

No thank YOU for the awesome ask! I love talking about editing and animation :D

I have a lot more experience using computers for editing so as I've said up there, I'd highly recommend Davinci.

FOR PC USERS:

Davinci Resolve

Pros: Amazing colour grading, automatic rendering, SO many options for a free program, reminiscent of Premiere Pro (if you wanna get into industry).

Cons: Not as many editing transitions (if you edit like a tiktoker), there is a paywall if you want more stuff also - steep learning curve.

Final Cut Pro

Pros: Very light program, lots of transitions.

Cons: The interface is garbage I hate how it looks.

Adobe Premiere Pro

Pros: Industry standard, easy to use once you get the hang of it, can transfer skills to other programs.

Cons: Heavy heavy heavy program, may kill your PC, it costs MONEYYYY (but some unis and schools may offer as part of your course 👀)

FOR IPAD/MOBILE USERS:

Capcut

Pros: TONNES OF TRANSITIONS, keyframing, simplistic interface, good for beginners.

Cons: No colour grading, can get glitchy if you have long clips, the interface (and using it on mobile) is sometimes difficult to use - like clicking on different things.

Alight Motion

Pros: Similiar to Capcut in the fact that it's a mobile app BUT it looks more like PC editing software, also multiple easy-to-see timelines.

Cons: Paywall for more stuff. Not as many options in the free version.

iMovie

Pros: Very simple editing software. Fantastic for beginners.

Cons: I don't think it has tweening. Also can get glitchy.

FINAL NOTES:

I hope this helps! There's tonnes of apps out there you can try using, but ultimately it's just up to you to find a process that works for you! Some people animate on powerpoint, some people take tonnes of screenshots of their characters then screen record themselves flipping through their gallery - animation can be anything so just have fun!

I "animate" by drawing different shots in Clip Studio Paint then key framing the character's movement over a background using my program (davinci). I sometimes colour grade so the whole video has more of a consistent colour theme. Like purple. For Watcher Grian.

ULTIMATELY it's a process finding what works for you and don't stress if you don't figure it out in one go - you collect information from all the artists you see and that's how you learn what works for you.

Alright yap session over.

Go, be free and one with nature.
