Using Ani Pro

OK, good point. See you in COMART, section 17.

Jeeeeeez!!!! All this AAPRO bashing is getting out of hand! I've been
using the product since it's release (and AA before that) for FULL SCALE 2D
animations and I think it's FANTASTIC! The tutorials and documentation are
excellent. Anyone who can use a mouse and read english should be producing
simple animations in no time. Of course it has a few drawbacks (you can't
please all the people all the time!) but overall, this is an incredibly
rich product with excellent capabilities.
Rather than complaining so much, why not use this forum for constructive
criticism and suggestions (instead of whining), or write ADESK directly
with product suggestions.
Whew…
My two cents

Incidentally, this is not aimed at any one specific person (even though
it's addressed that way.)
The purpose of a forum is discussion, not product worship. I understood
that it could be used to communicate with ADESK and other users, and to get
help.

I, also am using AA for swell animations. I am composing an ongoing
document of suggestions to which I'm adding a couple of times a week. I
haven't sent it, yet, for that reason. I don't think it hurts, tho', to
mention some of these things here. I'm not on top of the product enuff to
offer many suggestions to end users, many of whom are long-standing
professionals in the area, but have posted queries of my own, ASKING for
suggestions on how to get certain effects. So far, nothing has come
back…………

No one ever said that it wasn't a powerful product. Just that it was a
little difficult to use, and that it doesn't necessarily have to be that
way! A slightly different user interface would allow many more people to
create awesome animations…
Doug, Slightly different interface? How about *totally* different
interface, like Windows.

My opinion? Windows sucks. But then, what do *I* know… Windows is here to
stay, and so is slow animation for a while…
Hi David,
From your message here you look like you're very knowledgable about
Ani Pro. I'm shopping for a PC based animation package that I can
incorporate ("import") into a larger multimedia authoring package like
Authorware Pro for Windows or ICON Author. 2 big requirements are:
1-animations of fairly detailed technical graphics (like blueprints) 2-I
also need sound cababilities. If you're familiar with a Mac product
called MacroMind Director, then you have a sense
of the sophistication I need. Can you tell me if AniPro is what I
should be looking at or if there is something else (PC/Windows based) out
there.
Thanks, John
