What do you like best about Harmony?

Harmony is a full-fledged animation program that enables you to work in different aspects of animation such as paperless, cut-out or 3D (CG). Unlike Adobe Animate, Harmony serves well for those who indulge in animation professionally. User friendly UI, easy to use, and many different offerings of the program makes Harmony as a go-to for animation. Built-in compositing is also a plus. Harmony is a well-designed, thought, developed program. I started learning digital animation with Harmony and I'm glad I did it. It took me 2 weeks to get the basics down, and after a couple of months I knew what I was doing and could troubleshoot many problems and obstacles I and my friends had.

Its community is helpful, friendly and full of professionals. Their website is also a really good learning platform for those who want to learn from scratch and for those who are not sure about the program. Also their tech support is amazing, fast and very knowledgable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Harmony?

Harmony, as expected from a high quality animation program, might be a little complicated for starters, and self-learning at first weeks might be discouraging. Also monthly subscription is expensive, and buying a license is way beyond reach for an average person to have at home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Harmony:

To get basics down, a lot of time and effort is needed. When the basics are there, Harmony turns out to be the most efficient and time-saver animation program one can ask for. Especially if the corporate license is there and you can do batch compositing, time efficiency is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Harmony solving and how is that benefiting you?

Harmony made digital animation way easier for me. From small tasks to animated shorts, I am using Harmony as my primary animation program. Cut-off animation and related character rigging in Harmony is way more efficient and accurate than Adobe Animate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
