To make this manual insertion a little easier, the program provides a Select Switch Window where you can import all of your different premade mouth positions and have them ready for you to switch out. You will need to listen to the audio yourself and then manually insert the correct lip positions to create the illusion of movement. While this software has tools to help you sync your audio with your character’s lips, it is not an automatic process like with any program that uses motion capture software. We also found a library of prerecorded phrases you can insert into your animations.

Most 2D animation software edits sound, but few have the ability to actually record audio. You can use the software to edit the audio as well. This software has freehand drawing tools, brushes and vector conversion so you can trace imported sketches or design new character directly within the program.īoth versions of MOHO record dialogue and sound effects directly in the program. We found it incredibly fun creating our own characters, especially since you have control over nose, eye and mouth placements so you can really make unique facial features. The character creator gives you access to preset character features that you can mix and match as well as change colors to create your own unique actors. We will say that while there are plenty of options, many of the premade characters, backgrounds and effects look amateurish compared to the premade designs of other programs like CrazyTalk Animator. This includes premade environmental effects such as rain, smoke, fire and explosions. We were surprised to find that the library is full of premade characters, backgrounds and other assets to quickly create and populate scenes. You can easily switch back and forth between the two modes while in the program. We found that beginner mode takes away some of the more advanced tools so the software is easier to navigate and use. Within MOHO Debut, you can choose to be in beginner mode or standard mode.
