What is your opinion about the "new" Animator Studio?..I got the Demo-CD, and
it looks pretty good……then again, so does EVERY demo disk!! What are some
of your "real-world" opinions?

stick around section 4 for a while, you'll see plenty. 🙂
FWIW, the product is very powerful, and the majority of challenges seem to be
that it requires a lot more free resources than the typical Windows 3.1
application. many of its functions conflict with some of the fancier memory
management configurations out there. although docs (manuals) are available on
CD, a detailed hardcopy reference manual is not included in the software (but
can be purchased separately. is not an NT or Win95 app, nor is pliment each other very well.

It seems to have a lot of bugs at this point. I've had it crash
several times and nobody (Auo try
everything out.

some are bugs, some are conflicts with other programs and settings. it's a 1.0
product too, remember. gads, anyone remember the nightmare of DOS 4.0, Coredraw
4.0? Wordperfect 6.0? etc.
>> I've had it crash several times and nobody (Autodesk customer support) seems
to know why. It's also VERY slow if you're trying to work with full screen
animations – as you may be used to doing with AnimatorPro. <<
we're in windows. 16-bit EOS. Pharlap kicks serious pixel butt. what can i say?
have you tried working with uncompressed formats as a session tactic? things
load and save much faster.
>> Seems like it was designed with Windows .AVI in mind – 320×240 size, but
chokes on 640×480 (I have a P75 with 48 MB RAM). <<
quadrupled data… figures it would handle it about…. 25% as fast. <g>
>> On the positive side, there are a lot of great controls and features. I
haven't worked with is long enough (too many crashes, freezes) to try
everything out. <<
keep at it. a lot more in there than most folks realize. -dave
<the two compliment each other very well.
Why so? According to the users manual in Animator Studio it seems to claim it
can do the same things as anipro just differently. May be except POCO. Please
explain your points further.
Thanks a lot.

Mei-Tien,
There are several things that Animator Studio is capable of doing like Animator
Pro. However, a feature such as manipulating an 8 bit palette is not present in
Animator Studio. Features that are specific to 8 bit shine in Animator Pro
while Animator Studio is more capable in the 24 bit arena.

Jh,
I see. Thanks.
