>> Overall: What are the main advantages to upgrading to animator studio from animator pro if you have in addition to animator pro a video editing package such as premiere and a photo editing package such as photoshop? << the advantages are numerous, sam. to give you a taste of what's included, classical animation has typically started with a soundtrack (actors and actresses playing the roles of characters) and then the animation follows it. AS allows you see visually see a soundtrack and create animation frame by frame according to the sountrack. the implications are staggering for traditional animators. the fact that AS is a soundmonster it probably the biggest advantage over the products you listed. AS also includes support for various PhotoS pieces and Kai's Power Tools. in a nutshell, you can now give unattended multimedia presentations (video and sound) using standard MM file formats. this is the tip of the iceberg. and i don't do hype. <g> -dave
