Definitely faster for me!! I had an animation that took 7 minutes to render. ASP7 takes under 2 now. Love that it uses more than one core to render!! Suggestion to Mike, maybe a preference feature that allows you to specify how many cores are going to be used to render, like Blender does, and also t...

I have found with 44.1/16 the sound can go off slightly when you're playing the video through ASP but renders OK. I think that's because there's so much going on that it can't play everything correctly, kind of like when you've got a squillion vector points and the animation playback get's jerky. Yo...

Being a stickler for quality I always prefer to use the highest quality sound I can. I found out long ago, however, that ASP has trouble with most things over 44.1/16. Problems I've encountered are the audio not synching with the animation, the audio tempo altering, the audio not even playing, and i...

I have a better solution for you. 1. Buy the program but don't buy the backup disc. 2. Before or after you install the program, (it's not really important), burn the install file on to a blank CD or DVD, depending on the size of the file. 3. Enjoy the fact that you have a backup disc without having ...

I reckon the fan is the best idea.

I've found that when you lay a mask over complex group layer/bones/switches that ASP hides parts of your animation until you render it. Anyone know why this occurs??

I'm also on a Mac and only have issues with one or two codecs. What codec are you using? Have you tried using other codecs? In my most utterly humble opinion the best codec to use is animtion as it retains full quality. You can convert/compress the file later when you're editing it or going to put i...

I never thought of that. I've wasted heaps of times going back in time machine to get retrieve my animation file after I'd changed frame 0 and saved it. No longer!! (slowtiger, you said the f word!! I never thought of you as a swearer, most likely as the person in your profile picture, [don't know i...

Hey, Vern!! Thus far I have found your tutotials to be fantastic. I think that the membership I paid was extraordinary value for money. If I had a tip I'd say don't shorten them just because you think they're long. As a viewer I have learned watching you take the time to go through the actions and m...

Hey there, DK.

I had a look at the site and gave up after a few minutes. Feedback, of the constructive sort, has been left.

Hey there. I'm getting heaps of lua errors with the scripts. There shouldn't be any reason why they won't work on a Mac, should there?

I can't click in the FPS box to type anything in. I've tried to alter FPS as son as it's opened, after importing the audio, after typing the text and after synching has been done. If I can't change it then the only option would be to sync at 24 FPS, import the .dat file to ASP6 and then rescale the ...

Good to have you back, Vern. I really enjoyed your hair brush tutorial and I'm looking forward to seeing your new ones.

With the new version you can segment your audio in to bits and import them all as separate audio layers. Using the sequencer you can then move each audio segment along the time line to assist you with your animating.

Have you tried re-installing the program? Couldn't hurt and could fix the problem. Whether you want to un-install it first would be up to you.
