It was such a painful experience with nested movie clips and no comprehensive integrated timeline - not to mention limited effects and no motion blur and sound sync was anemic.

I'm curious to hear what current users of Anime Studio think about the program so please post.Īlthough I love After Effects, I've not found it great for vector/cel animation, and with Flash Pro CS5 awhile ago I animated a 4 minute cartoon and (despite being very proficient w Flash & Actionscript3) I swore to myself I would never try cartoon animation in Flash again.

There is a 30-day free trial you can download btw. I'm not sure how the latest version of Anime Studio stacks up to TBAP (which I have to say has its own quirks but it does work well-I just need to make time to actually put it into production.) After watching the promotional video for Anime Studio, I can at least say it's come a long, long way since its early days as Moho, and its low price of the offer probably makes it worth the impulse buy. Sorry, I know that's not exactly helpful since I haven't used it in a long time but I just wanted to note the similarity and the huge price difference between the products. But it looks like Anime Studio has continued to grow up too and it's certainly remained a lot cheaper than TBAP. I had upgraded to Anime Studio Pro 5, but later switched to Toon Boom Animate Pro when that program became available because at the time TBAP was a more mature program for production work. In the beginning, I thought Moho was a bit awkward to use for switching cels but other aspects, like the rigging system, seemed promising. (The name was changed to 'Anime Studio' when it was purchased by Smith-Micro, to make it consistent with their other drawing product Manga Studio, which I still use to draw all my comic strips.) I used it for a while, starting back when it was called 'Moho' many years ago. Oh, and did I mention 2d motion tracking is also built-in? If you've ever animated characters in Lightwave before, you will feel right at home.įor 2d character animation it blows Flash out of the water, in my opinion. The new motion graph functionality is worth the price alone. Anime studio pro is not really suitable for traditional frame by frame animation, but more geared towards the trendy cartoon styles you see used in South Park, Powerpuff Girls, Family Guy, etc. I work with Flash, ToonBoom Harmony, and Anime Studio Pro. Even control bones are now supported (for example, control the squashing of an object with a control bone, just like in 3d apps).

It also offers vector drawing tools, 2d physics, automatic secondary animation (like wobbly stuff), a character room (which at first glance looks toy-like, but you can create your own templates), a real 3d space and 3d camera (bit like AfterFX), support for 3d objects to be placed in your scenes, automatic lip synch/Papagayo, inverse kinematics, vector layers, image layers, particles, bone physics and constraints, a 3d camera, full hdtv support, depth of field, export to flash, and much more.

The bones sytem is incredibly simple to use, and corrections can be made easily to the deformations when things go wrong in the extremes. However, Smith Micro does make such offers every once in a while, but this is the lowest I have seen so far.įlash cannot really compare to Anime Studio 9's graph editor at all (in Flash it never worked as it should).
