Released as the mature evolution of the historic Aura software (originally developed for the Commodore Amiga), TVPaint Animation 10 is not trying to be Flash, Toon Boom, or Blender. It is trying to be a digital light table —and it succeeds brilliantly. For studios and independent animators who believe that a line should have the weight of a real pencil, TVPaint 10 remains the gold standard. While most modern animation software relies on vector math (lines that can be reshaped infinitely), TVPaint 10 is a bitmap-based program. When you draw in TVPaint, you are drawing with pixels.
In an era dominated by subscription models, cloud-based vector workflows, and AI-assisted tweening, TVPaint Animation 10 stands as a rugged, unapologetic bastion for traditional animators.
It does not ask you to be efficient. It asks you to be an artist. And for the right person, that is the best feature of all.
famously used TVPaint for The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (2013) to achieve its stunning watercolor-and-pencil aesthetic. Cartoon Saloon (Wolfwalkers, Song of the Sea) relies on TVPaint for its hand-drawn, textured look that vector software cannot replicate. In the indie scene, films like The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and countless short films have used TVPaint 10 for its ability to preserve the artist's unique hand. TVPaint 10 vs. The Modern World (2024+) It is important to note that TVPaint has moved to version 11 and 12, which include 4K monitors support, a revamped color engine, and better layer blending modes.
However, remains a favorite among "legacy" users and those running older workstations (Windows 7/8/10 and older Macs). Version 10 is lighter, faster, and lacks some of the UI bloat of later versions. For pure frame-by-frame animation without particle simulators or 3D integration, many pros argue that Version 10 was the peak. Verdict: The Digital Pencil Sharpener TVPaint Animation 10 is not software for a hobbyist looking to animate a YouTube intro. It is a professional instrument, like a grand piano or a lathe.

At our Bible college, we decided to switch to OpenLP because it was free. We found it to be feature-rich and easy to use. It's also constantly improving.
Hello, I love your software! Praise the Lord. The fact that you all are willing to provide this for free is amazing.
OpenLP has made a tremendous positive impact on our services. The singing has increased tenfold as even those with poor eyesight can clearly see the onscreen lyrics.
I have been using OpenLP for a couple of years and I found it very easy to navigate and despite never having used this type of software before was able to get a service up and running in a couple of minutes once I had installed the program.
Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for a great product. I'm traveling around to small churches helping them upgrade their media environments. With little or no budgets, OpenLP has been a great help. I wish I could capture the look on a pastor's face when I tell him it's a free software.
Sunday morning I set the up projector, gave a 10 minute lesson to the young lady who does our overheads. Everything went smoothly. She was so excited, the congregation thought it was great, our priest was ecstatic.
