Have you tried to learn Moho but gotten stuck? Well, you're not the only one -- I've been where you are now.

Maybe you tried piecing together YouTube videos but couldn't find where to begin or the order in which to watch them

Maybe you tried other online video courses but found they were outdated (no longer matched your version of the software), were too specific or way too advanced

Maybe you tried an introductory course which was nice but it was too short

I created this course to specifically address these issues. They are what I viewed as a gaping hole in the previously available body of Moho knowledge; namely, a decent introduction.

This course provides a detailed, easy to follow introduction to the latest version of Moho Debut and Pro, version 12 (not Anime Studio 11, 10, 9...). This introduction is 8 hours in length (not one hour) because it addresses all the phases of 2D development using Moho (not just one phase) including:

o Illustration

o Rigging

o Animation

It even includes a lengthy section on lip syncing a character manually and using a semi-automated process based on the free Papagayo product from Smith Micro.

Though this course is for beginners it delves into advanced topics such as:

o Smart Bones

o Reference Layers

o Target Bones

After completing this course, you'll know Moho very well. You'll certainly be able to tackle more advanced YouTube lectures to hone your skills to perfection.

Click on the Enroll button to begin learning the most powerful 2D illustration and animation software in the world: Moho Debut/Pro.

I'll see you in the classroom,
