Customer Rating: Summary: User friendly, easy to useComment: I love this software! I am using the demo version and waiting for my full version order. This is the Professional version and it's easy for any amateur to use, which I am. It comes with tutorials with easy to follow steps. I feel confident that I can do a huge project with this, by myself! I just received the Official Guide and it's a wonderful read. Not boring at all. Kelly L Murdock did an excellent job with manual.Customer Rating: Summary: Could be better, but still great funComment: This product was not the type of animation software i was looking for per say, but that does not mean it won't fit your needs. When I first bought this software,(not from amazon although i wish i had), i was hoping for a more traditional look instead the animation reeks of flash.
It a personal preference because I like the traditional Cel-animation like in an anime. This software is meant for ease and can do a lot of the work for you. It does all the in between frames all you have to worry about is the "key frames." It is fully capable of producing a fully professional work but like I said its a preference thing.
It you want animation that resembles more of today's web cartoons then go with this software. An overall mediocre product. If you want a more traditional look your best bet is elsewhere.
side note:
-sometimes the program will maneuver a different path than you intended.
-limited working area
-i could not figure out how to get the facial expressions to work
instead it would just carry the one i chose throughout the entire animationCustomer Rating: Summary: Anime Studio Pro for Mac reviewComment: Software works fine. Unsure if there if there was supposed to be a manual included, though.Customer Rating: Summary: Do You Feel Like A Cartoon?Comment: If you at times feel like a cartoon character, now, this may become a reality thanks to the hardwork of the folks at e--frontier.With capabilities to import any image and add rigging to it,your dreams become a digital reality.
Maybe I should've gave it a higher rating,but it did take some doings to get things to work (still a lil buggy?)An improvement is needed in the color pallette (to eliminate all the import/export for quality) and I'm still waiting for my rebate/discount as well as the promised extra content( I'm an artist so the extra wasn't that important,would like it tho).Look for my new cartoon coming someday to a web nearest you(google,veoh).Customer Rating: Summary: Import onlyComment: This is a basic 2-d animation program only. You will first have to draw your image then import it. The drawing toolbar is extremely limited.
