Perhaps he meant to add the word "mixture," as in "live action animation mixture..." You certainly are on an argumentative tear here, today... Whazzup? Someone pee in your cornflakes? Chill out, dude, at least he wasn't using txtspeak or misspelling "loose" for "lo...

Weird, but amusing. Love the nostrils on the elves that protrude...

VERY well put, crsP! You stated it SO much better than I ever could have. Yes, Painter and Photoshop ARE primarily raster tools, BUT, both possess rudimentary vector pen tools, WITH bezier handles, which perform quite admirably in creating paths, lines, and fills. I also own Illustrator and Flash, b...

If you check the User Manual, there's a keyboard shortcut for it ~ Click on a shape with the Select Shape tool, and then use the up/down arrow keys to move the shape forward or back. Hold down the Shift key while pressing the up/down arrow keys to move the shape to the top or bottom of a stack. (Pg ...

Welcome, Bonteberg! You will LOVE Anime Studio! Yes, there is a learning curve, and you have to somewhat abandon anything you've learned with other software until you understand AS, because it just works differently, but OH! When you start to understand it, it is SO EXCITING and FUN! You will soon f...

That is really smooth! I can see it as a swaying skirt very easily, or a cape with a flourish, so many different applications.
Great job!

Stunningly beautiful work. Especially since you did so much with photoshop, and then created the 3d effect with AS.

And people say AS is limited in what it can do...
You are proving a lot of nay-sayers wrong.

VERY nice work!

Yes, I think that is just due to "persistence of memory" visual limitations of the human eye. There are articles discussing the timing of movements, and how to figure out how many seconds actions and distance should take, but at some point, you have to remember that is animation, and not &...

I submitted a problem I was having to SM, and their VERY helpful Support department gave me a VERY prompt reply. The helped with my issue, and informed me that Smith Micro does NOT provide training support, but that they do offer training guides and videos to help Users become a Pro using their soft...

The vector painting tools of other applications (like Flash), as well as the more accurate vector drawing tools (like Photoshop and Painter), show that it is not an impossible task, just one that takes additional application programming. I would be happy if AS simply included Bezier Curve handle cap...

If Selgin is Victor Paredes, it's not just his avatar, it's also the mouse, and the tie guy. All 3 are in the Anime Studio Content Library...

Funny how the Crazy Talk Animator Showcase uses Anime Studio, isn't it???
You'd think they'd make that animation in Crazy Talk...

@Slowtiger - THANK YOU. I was trying to find that listing, but could not (I have a head cold this week, my brain is fuzzy).Using an incorrect FPS when your intent is to upload to YouTube does one no favors. (I wish Smith Micro would have the Time Line Numbers change when you change FPS. Seeing '10's...

Under Edit>Preferences, I would suggest changing the Default Interpolation from Smooth (the default) to Linear. I would also try increasing the FPS from 24 to 30FPS, which is the Video standard. 24FPS is the Film standard. Unless you plan on converting your animations to film, use 30. It is much smo...

The only way to maintain transparency is to export as .png.
But it seems a bit odd to insist that everything you do will end up back in After Effects.

Once you learn the software, you may well find that you don't need After Effects...

I do not know if this works in 6: It does work in 7. Open a New document. Set the gradient BEFORE you draw the shape. ...Choose gradient from the style bar ...Double click the squares on the gradient bar to change the colors, or just use the B&W default. ...Draw the shape with either the Shape T...
