Yeah, I would say it is a bug because the manual only says you need to use PNGs, but doesn't specify that transparencies aren't going to work well, and ASP's own included rainbow brush with transparencies doesn't render like the preview. I would maybe try making brushes without transparent pixels, t...

So your brush is made with the colors you are using? I think if you can make the brush just monochrome (I don't make my own brushes so I don't know the details on that) then colorize them with the color picker you would have less issues. Check out the rainbow brush, it looks like crap when rendered ...

I'm guessing you'll want to reduce the line width in your character, and maybe reduce the brush spacing. BTW I really like your character

Check if you have 'enable GPU' checked in Preferences, I am guessing you don't.

OK, this is the last quick test before bed, I set one of every layer to ADD layer blending mode, then created a new layer outside all the wormhole layers with a gradient radial with transparent inside, black outside, and set it to Hue. I need to basically redo the whole thing with some more unique r...

Yeah, I just threw the pic of the spaceship in front of the effect so you could get an idea of what exactly was going through the wormhole :) The whole thing needs work but slowtiger's method of creating the wormhole physics is genius. I'll definitely mess with the layer blending, thanks for the sug...

Speaking of layer referencing, I think it would be a great help to have an option to 'lock child keyframes to parent' for using for frame to frame. Then you could animate on the child layers while working on art from that level without getting everything messed up by mistake. It seems like a small t...

So here's my test, the shot isn't planned and I just used a static frame inside my video editor for the space ship, and animated it there. but I think it looks great and after working on it more, designing the art for the wormhole better and planning the shot properly, I will have something nice to ...

Thanks slowtiger, that was WAY more helpful! After a bit of headscratching I figured out your explanation, I'm rendering my first go at it now, there is some testing I'll have to do to get the right look for my animation, but the technical bit is taken care of now, it looks great and should be effec...

So this is what I have mocked up right now, I don't know how 'wormhole' like it is actually, more like entering warp drive:

Seriously, if you don't have any idea about a scene, search google for examples, do some sketches, and make your own version. Research is an important part of the artistic process.

Wow, thanks, you are so incredibly helpful.

Thanks Greenlaw, that settles it, 24 FPS across the board :) PNG is much nicer to work with, I figured out Layer Comps in ASP last night, it is super easy, though I don't see a way to render all layer comps in one batch, which is OK I guess. Previously I thought I was stuck without a way to render t...

Just seeking some advice on animating a spaceship coming out of a wormhole.

Shift < returns to frame 0, Shift > goes to the end, Alt < and Alt > skip between keyframes.

Thanks for the extensive reply :) Much of that is overkill for me but I'm sure very helpful to many reading this. I'll just be using ASP 11 and Movie Studio, the effects and editing capabilities of that setup are enough for me by a big margin and I want to keep this simple. I'm just making little fi...
