Alternatives to Adobe Animate and After Effects?
For context, my style of animation is 2D combined with live action footage (like space jam... sort of).
I would love to move away from adobe, but I dont know a lot about other software’s enough to make the jump. I've had experience using different softwares, like ToonBoom, but not enough to make the jump just yet.
Basically **I want to know if theres any softwares that are similar to both Adobe animate and after effects, either as one software or two separate softwares that work well together.**
Animate and AE work so smoothly together for me and makes to process of adding animation to live action footage so easy, whilst still being able to tweak and edit if needed.
I used to use toonsquid on my ipad for a simpler alternative, but I would be animating directly onto live action video. This works great, but animate and AE give me more control like I said before and works a lot better for more professional/higher quality work.
Is toonboom my best bet? Im interested in TV paint too but Ive never used it before.
