Will there be PAR support for Animator Studio It would be great if a driver to do that would be available as it is as of this time this is not the case. At first when I saw this program I was not very enthousiastic about it. But know I have tried it for 2 days and My opinion has changed completly, get me a PAR ANI support driver like the one in the making for Adobe Premiere and I'll be very pleased. Christophe Van Oyen

Christophe: With all of the products out there doing such similar stuff I kind of lost track of Animator Studio. What types of things are you doing with it? What does it do that Razor Pro or Premiere don't? Bob

Well, I have Animator Studio on my machine since 2 days ago, due to the fact I was on a Fair Stand with Autodesk Belgium, to present Architectural Visualisation and on that fair Animator Studio was shown as It was just released. At first when I saw it 2 months ago I did not see much Use in it, but using it for 2 days has completly changed my mind. It has the possibility of doing perfect sound edits with the sounlab, it has the possibility to do great 2D animation (all you could do in Animator Pro possible and much much more) You can paint on your animations like in Fractal Painter, you have Kai Power Tools Gradient designer etc… included that you can use on your animation, you can also just edit stills and do Photoshop, Photostyler things, you can fade animations. It is not exactly like adobe Premiere and Razor Pro it has much more to create an animation and a little less to join animations. I jus know that it seems a driver is made for the PAR which will make ani's look like AVI files to Windows and that would indeed be great, It seems adobe is doing that for use with premiere. I doen't look bad at all, BTW I just noticed I posted this message in the wrong section yesterday. Christophe

Christophe: Thanks for the AniStud rundown. My toolbox is a bit bloated right now and for sanity I would like to keep the number of tools to a minimum. So far I have managed without Animator Pro, maybe I won't miss AniStud. If one could work directly with PAR files I may get more interested in this product. Bob
