Dale: I've used Animator Pro for a couple of major and minor projects and found it fairly easy to learn for a program that does as much as this one does. I thought that the tutorial was about the best I've seen and the manuals are also quite good. I haven't had to rely on anybody for support except for the people on this forum. I've had mixed experiences with dealers on AutoDesk software, but there is at least a place that I can call. Most places require me to call their product support lines, which are often awful. Chris

That's a good recommendation, Chris. Makes me wonder how many of the charges made by this other user were problems with the user and how many were problems with the product and the company. I prefer a good manual to all other forms of support. Generally I don't like tutorials (I find them inadequate and usually irrelevant), but I do want a company that will back its products in the vein of WordPerfect Corp., Borland and Microsoft. I've had good support from IBM for two of its products, too. But I get concerned when a company relies on commission-dependent sales people to provide support. They usually don't know, and they definitely don't care. –Dale–
