Moho Debut 13.5 | Create your own cartoons and animations in minutes | Software for PC and Mac OS

Mojo Debut is a great intro to animation at a really cheap price. This will allow you to spend a small amount of money to see if you really like the Mojo tools before you spend the money to upgrade to the pro version. My kids use Mojo Debut and have picked it up very quickly. They love it and have already been creating animations and learning as they go. For the price you wont find anything close to this amazing animation tool set.

You can think of the debut edition of Moho version 13.5 as having a reduced feature set for almost all the types of options that Moho offers. For example, you can draw, but there are drawing features in the professional version of Moho that are not available in the Debut version. Likewise, you use the bones feature in Debut but there are advanced features of the bones mode that are only available to users of the professional version. I my opinion you get a lot of features in the Debut version, moreover, there is an upgrade path for the Debut to professional edition of Moho; if you are an animation beginner this might be the path for you. While there are a lot of tutorials on Moho available on YouTube, I recommend giving the tutorial that comes with Moho a try first, this tutorial is only in pdf but is quite easy to follow. Finally, in comparison to its competitors, who mostly offer subscription based services and are quite expensive, Moho is a great deal. Even the professional version is reasonably priced for what it does.

I have not created animation on a computer before so I was curious to see how it works and what its like. I feel the Debut version of this software is a great way to get your feet wet with the concepts and tools used for creating digital animation. There is a PDF file that includes a step by step tutorial of how to get started in creating animations of your own. I also found some great videos made by McCoy Buck on YouTube that really helped me learn the software basics even though he was using the Pro version. This might be a great way to see the features in action before purchasing if youre on the fence. This tool appears to have previously been called Anime Studio many years ago but the tools and layout are very similar to Moho Debut today. Moho Debut allows the creator to create custom drawings and objects using vector drawing tools which provides endless possibilities for the creator. As an example, I created a stick person drawing using the basic drawing tools. Then I created a bone structure for my character which allows me to move the arms and legs of the character and bring it to life. The next step is to record an animation using key frames (for this example) which allows me to specify where I want objects positioned at this specific point in time from one keyframe to the next. Its very similar to tools I have used while editing videos. Since I dont have great artistic ability, I was happy to see a character building tool and a library of characters that come included with Debut. This makes it easy for beginners to quickly get going with creating a scene and to begin telling a story with these characters. I also enjoy seeing the stock pre-created scenes that appear when opening the application. Many of these have backgrounds and animations applied to the characters so you can see examples of what types of animations are possible with this tool and you have the freedom to experiment and explore the inner workings of the scene to see how it was created. If you are a beginner, give Debut a try before going for the Pro version unless you already know there are tools in the Pro version you will need. I do like that this tool is not subscription based so its a one time purchase. They also sell additional character packs and other add-ons via their website. Overall, I have been happy with this tool after spending about 20 hours learning the various features and tools. Im sure there is much I have to learn still but I like what Im seeing so far.

Excited to master the debut so we can dig in to the pro. I did get both as I figured we would have one installed on 2 different machines and that the debut version would be good training ground. I will upload some creations once I get a little better. The large number of features makes this a valuable addition to my business.

My 12 year old son figured out how to use the software within a short time and already had a custom character that he designed and animated. I think it is a fun program and I think my son will have a good learning experience designing and animating characters. It does come with a few preset characters you can work with for making animations.

Initial impressions- Initially, I opened the software in beginner mode and then needed to dive into tutorials. I thought that I would be able to pull up characters and get them to move quickly. However, I am now on my 15th video and have not yet created a character and can tell I will need to study and further educate myself on this software. I have learned about bones and manipulated an existing flytrap and was able to move its parts around but can tell that there is quite a bit I will need to learn and understand. A lot of patience will be needed. There is an incredible amount of potential and I look forward to further use. However, I would not expect to be able to create a character in five minutes unless you have existing experience. There are a lot controls to understand. I will continue to use this and update with time and use.

Fast delivery, great program and good price.

This is a fun system that allows you to learn the basics of animation. It does take some time to learn the program, but once you learn a technique, its easy to move to another. The software has a beginner mode that really does make it easy to learn. Once youve mastered that, you can delve into more in-depth animation. I was intrigued with the difference between this and the pro versions. Glad I opted for this one since I am such a novice. make sure you read through the tutorial as it offers so much information. The system is wonderful, allows you to learn by example, and gives back once you do.

I puchased this Moho Debut 13.5 recently, wanting to mess around with doing some 2D animation and learn a new bit of software. After installing it, I had the impression I had used this software before - and turns out I had. This is Smith Micros Anime Studio rebranded as MOHO. I already had both Anime Studio Pro 9 & Anime Studio Debut and had used both in the past. So there shouldnt be much of a new learning curve for me with this Moho Debut. If you are new to this sort of thing (2D animation software), this software might seem a bit challenging at first. Take your time, read the tutorial manual and the user manual. There are also some good videos on YT that can cover the basics of getting started. One thing about this Debut version of the software, its basically the PLE (personal learning edition) for the full version of the software, Moho Pro 13.5. You can do most of the basic things with Debut, but you need the full version to do more advance work. All-in-all, Im happy with my purchase and look forward to seeing what new features there might be in this 13.5 release of the software.

Im technical, but have very no experience in animation software and was hoping to introduce my kids to digital art and animation. That said, this software will take some time to understand the process, learn and practice to get a functional animation.
