Activating Ember

Through Toon Boom Ember, you have access to a suite of AI-powered tools to enhance your workflow. By opting into Ember, you will be able to utilize the AI tools to automate time consuming and repetitive tasks and enhance visual quality of lower resolution images. Toon Boom has collaborated with AI providers to facilitate the integration of AI into your creative pipeline.

IMPORTANT These service providers will not collect or store your data nor will they use your projects to train AI.

By default the AI features are enabled. In order to be run Ember, you will need a license for both Harmony and Ember as well as for AI functionalities to be enabled in the Preferences dialog.

TIP The Enable Ember Functionalities option is located in the Advanced tab of the Preferences dialog.

After enabling or disabling Ember, you will be required to relaunch the software.

NOTE The Ember license is available with a subscription of Harmony 24.

If you are not using a subscription license, you will need to request a free Ember license add-on by sending an email to licensor@toonboom.com. Please include the email address linked to your Toon Boom account in the email.

IMPORTANT If you attempt to enable Ember to run the AI functionalities without an Ember license, you will receive an error message.

If you are working with the Harmony Database, additional steps are required to enable Ember.

For more information about enabling Ember in the Harmony Server, see Enabling Ember.
