Highrise 955,

Thanks for the link, but I already had those listed in my original post as "already watched." I guess I've seen all of the available masking video tutorials. No problem, I'm sure I can figure out the rest myself. It just goes slower that way. LOL

Just last Fall 2013. I had to find a substitute for Adobe Flash because we were moving my college classes from being on-site, to online. We didn't want the online students to be stuck paying for Flash. It is a rural community college in a very low-income area. I looked online for the whole summer an...

I know, there's no way to really make the comparison that was attempting to make. I was surprised at the render time for a number of reasons -- but it is, what it is.

Gotcha.

Hello all, Can you share links to the best tutorials for "animated masks?" I've already seen the tutorials on the Smith Micro website, the Anime Studio Tutor site and at Incredible tutorials site. They are very good, but I'd like to see other video tutorials if they are out there on the we...

So, even if the file originated in 9.5 -- He still would not be able to go to 10 and then back to 9.5? Maybe he opened the file, but did not initiate a save in 10? Well to be honest with you, I've heard many "untruths" from this person in the past, so I'll write it off as that. I appreciat...

To heyvern, About the backwards compatibility issue with saving/opening project files: A friend of mine uses MAC (I use primarily PC), he says that he was able to save a file in 10 and then open it in 9.5. I was not able to do this with my project files. To your knowledge, is this different between ...

Thanks for the feedback to everyone. My previous experience with animation programs has been with Flash, Maya and 3D Studio max. I think they might have different/better render engines... I don't know, it just seems like are able to render a lot faster. I'll look into the layer comps for myself, but...

That makes sense. Thanks for the input.

Hi, can anyone shed light on what this error code means? One of my students is getting this when trying to open her anime project on her MAC. She is able to open the project on one MAC, but not her other MAC. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Could not open file. Err...

The final render was approx. 35 hours for a 60 second animation. We then removed all instances of the motion blur and it still took forever to render. I'm curious, does multiple nested layers affect render time? She has a number of sub, sub, sub, sub folders. Just trying to understand the program......

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, I did I bunch of testing last night and looked carefully at what she had going on all of her layers. She put motion blur on 20 layers (maybe more!). Unfortunately, I was having a lot of trouble disabling the blur. Like I said, I'm still learning this software myself ...

Hello, I'm relatively new to this particular software program (I love it!). I'm using both Debut and Pro because I'm using it to teach colleges courses and we needed to give students an affordable option by allowing them to do the course work with Debut. So here's the situation. I'm trying to help o...
