#Animator vs. AniPro
3 messages in this thread
OK. So bundled with my "multimedia" ccomputer was Autodesk Animator. In the
past few months I've found it to be an excellent little animation program.
Knowing that Animator Pro is around, I have 2 questions: 1- What does AP offer
that's missing in AA? Convince me that AA is a mere toy compared to AP. 2- Is
there an upgrade policy from AA to AP?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
Andrew – the file to look for is called APRO13.RLS. It describes AAPro in our
press release. The main difference is the ability to run in resolutions higher
than 320×200. You'll find the 320×200 particularly limiting around text.
Upgrades? No, but from time to time, when AAPro is upgraded for example, all
registered users of Animator receive info and a discounted upgrade price (was
less than $200 last time). No release of AAPro is likely in the near future.
