Should this happen again, i got a temp fix as well, it involves a process called com surrogate. CTRL+ALT+DEL, then go to task manager, go to the full set of options and look under processes for Com Surrogate, if you see even one version of it, right click on it and press "End task" or hit ...

Oh my god! Undertale! Sans! Wow, kudos for the interesting choice of work in Anime Studio, not every day someone does sprite work here. I can answer part of your issue, when you start Anime Studio Pro, open your project, and apparently, you know where the split screen button is, right? just past the...

Here's a few rough ideas: -One of your settings surpasses a number limit (for example, you cannot enter higher than 1024 in layer shading, 128 in many other settings) Also check for obvious Snafus (like the opacity exceeding 100) This can reset them to the highest value possible, worst case scinerio...

If exporting an animation: File > Export File > Preview animation (if testing animation only) Ctrl + E If exporting a picture: File > Preview File > Preview no antialiasing Ctrl + R Hopes this helps, just follow the instructions for animations as needed, choose your format if a picture, set your fil...

In Anime Studio Pro 11!

Well, this is a refreshing release period, bring on the new version!

Woo, just registered for the webinar! I am so excited, as someone who uses anime studio for art, comics, and animation, i can hardly wait to see what tools they'll add to the belt. I wonder if they took my idea about day and night global layer effects, the only reason i ask is i mentioned the idea t...

Ok, i'll give a crack at this, listen up! You need to use animated layer ordering by putting all your layers in a folder if you want to move layers during animation. each object you want to move must be on it's own layer, you cannot move a chunk of one layer to another live during playback, it's all...

Resolution control: still cannot believe you are stuck with web resolutions, offer higher quality, please! In Pro, you can set your resolution to a maximum of 9000x9000. I don't see your point. DPI, or dots per inch, is stuck on 72 dpi for preview, and 96 Dpi for rendering, this is very small on pr...

Multiwindow Rendering: so we can use the 2/4 way port setup for creating things at different qualities or demonstrate things in multiple views. New layer type: reflection, make it a point to target that can be used to create reversed, 3d oriented, or shadow (one color) across multiple layers, offer ...

Anyone getting this error message in V10? The document wasn't saved properly. The file may be marked read only, or you may be trying to save to a read only disc. It's weird...so I save the file with another name and it saves ok.....but...open this second version file again and it won't save with sa...

nice! how did you do that on 5.6? The samples are all new, but I've been using ASP since 5.5, These ones all came from 7, but I've been using AS for years. And to answer your 3D question, KenW, I put a picture in the background, and placed cubes over it, all fitting to the shape of it, then I dupli...

I use AS for art, too! I've been using AS since 5.5, and I do Pokemon artworks, I've dedicated myself to doing ALL of the Pokemon in ASP, I have nearly 100 done so far. My project got started in February, and spans through right now. Here's a few samples: http://a.imageshack.us/img715/3870/rayquazal...

Some food for thought. In 3d, it is possible to create a reflective surface using light and a nearby object. So why not 2d? The concept is this, the surface would be a vector shape, and when this effect is active, it could record in raster (or vector) whatever is nearby it, while play is on, and the...
