Gauri Pawsey
GP
Researched and written by Gauri Pawsey

Animation software is designed to generate moving graphics from visual files. Depending on the program, users can animate a variation of 2D, 3D, hand-drawn, or computer-generated graphics, often with the option to add music or additional effects. The best animation software platforms may integrate with drawing software,video editing software or 3D modeling software. Artists and freelancers can use the best free video editing software and free animation software together to create their video animations on a budget.

To qualify for inclusion in the Animation category, a product must:

-Provide functionality for generating animated visuals from 2D and/or 3D images for use in video files
-Import media files from other programs or offer built-in drawing tools
-Integrate with video editing or effects software to finalize animated videos

Learn More About Animation Software

What is Animation Software?

Animation software is a type of computer program used to design digital animations. Generally, artists, animators, and designers employ this type of software to create captivating visual effects. 

Users can opt for 2D or 3D animation software to create motion graphics. While 2D uses sequential images drawn on a flat surface to give the appearance of movement, 3D is more technical and produces three-dimensional moving images in a digital environment. Objects are modeled or created in a three-dimensional space using polygonal mesh. 

Like other software, the cost of animation tools is usually decided by the number of functionalities and features it has. Advanced tools can charge a high premium but come with rich features and functionalities. For basic animation videos, though, the standard versions are usually enough.

Several free animation tools offer compelling alternatives for those mindful of budget constraints. These tools allow businesses and individuals to start animated projects without spending money, the only investment being the labor dedicated to the creative process.

Why Use Animation Software?

Animation software finds its use across various industries and creative domains. From simple cartoons to complex 3D animations, the software lets users in fields such as education, content creation gaming, film production, and architectural design bring their narratives to life in an impactful way. Concepts challenging to convey through traditional methods become more accessible and understandable through animated visuals. This not only grabs the attention of viewers but also improves their comprehension and information retention. The software also offers a distinct advantage in the field of marketing and advertising by enhancing ads engagement, making them more memorable and effective. 

Furthermore, animation software plays a pivotal role in brand promotion. Businesses have increasingly started utilizing informative videos with animation effects to spread awareness of their products or services. This type of contemporary marketing material not only explains complex processes or mission statements effectively but also offers an enjoyable experience for both creators and viewers, thereby increasing customer engagement. The best bit? The shareability of such content on social networks and video hosting platforms further amplifies its reach and impact.

Who Uses Animation Software?

The use of animation software is not limited to any one group. It spans various industries and interests. Certain individuals and departments are more natural use cases for digital animation studios.

  • Content teams not only have the most obvious benefits from visual effects but also likely employ people with a head start on graphic design or other visual art interests. Any company with a blog, an online video channel, or a simple website can use animated visuals to boost their content to an entirely new level of quality. 
  • Marketing professionals and their efforts may be closely tied to other content initiatives. In any case, marketing with the help of animation software is a powerful, memorable way to reach both previous and future customers. This can come as shareable promotional videos on websites or digital advertising campaigns. 
  • Product teams know their focus hinges on several factors related to the company’s overall mission and structure. Between user experience, general website work, and application content, visual and design efforts may already be one of their daily concerns. Integrating animation into the product team’s arsenal opens doors for creativity.
  • Production studios, like video production companies and graphic design service providers, have multiple projects that require or benefit from publishing tools like these. Video game development companies and film production companies are other major consumers of this software. 
  • Students and educators alike benefit from animation software. Students use the tools for learning, assignments, and projects, while educators use them to teach principles of multimedia arts.
  • Architects and engineers use 3D animation software to make virtual models of their designs. This helps them visualize the final product, conduct virtual walkthroughs, and identify potential design flaws.
