Pretty excited about these new features. Particularly the nested layers, switch groups and mask groups all working with bones. New Flexibind improvements are also great. Should make character rigging quicker. Hopefully v10 will see proper motion blur and the option of switching to bezier drawing to...

I really liked 9.5 but my wish for version 10 is "Real Motion Blur" PLEASE!

I'm not sure but I think is CrazyTalk Animator >.<

I really doubt it (x

Motion capture if for 3D animations, NOT for 2D.

I'm broke these days...

If you are asking if it's going to be FREE... Is not >.<

I was hoping for version 10, but lets see what this version has to offer

A great addition will be that smart bones can work switch layers & change the layer order

Try rendering in other formats just to test it,
I always have issues rendering video formats in anime studio
thats why I always render png sequences and then I do the final render in After effects.

I'll love to hear your experiences on finding jobs, where are you getting them? Maybe I'm looking on the wrong direction :( Well I get my jobs on Elance and the best price I can get is $1000 for 1 min but not always, one time I got a 3 min job for $4000 but it was just 1 TIME ... I'm always competin...

I wish I could get $4600 for a 20 sec animation (x Where are you getting your jobs? That's because you are doing 20 second commercials in "less than one day" :D So you are saying that just because I can work fast, I deliver poor quality or something? I was kind of being sarcastic when i s...

Where are you getting your jobs?

Well I have to agree, sometimes i have to wait 1 week to get an approval on something but still you are not working "the waiting time" and yes it takes me like a week to finish a 1 minute project but not because i need a week but because I'm kind of lazy (x I always end up finishing most o...

How long will you need to do this? This sounds like a job for at least two weeks. So add up your costs of 1 month, and quote half of it. Come on! Really 2 weeks? 20 Seconds you can do it in less than 1 day :) (3 Days MAX) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------...

This is a terrible idea (x

Hope this helps. It's actually easier to do than it sounds. :) Yes it was so easy :) THANK YOU! I really like this script, now i'll be available to work faster because I used to animate all the text in after effects but it's painfull slow even on my faster computer but now I can do it all in anime ...
