#studio tutorial
9 messages in this thread
I'm trying to slog my way through the Animator Studio tutorial and I've run
across the second werido problem. (the first being some extremely strange
results when trying to add the splash to the diver avi.)
I tried to do the scriptor example on pages 209-213, and when I attempt to
preview by clicking the PLAY SCRIPT button the titles fly by and then my system
locks up!
a complete reboot is needed to free things.
Is this a known problem? Is it fixed in the new release? I'm trying to love
this program for an upcoming review for a computer mag, but so far I'm
beginning to lose my enthusiasm.
Also FWIW, why does entering Animator Studio make my digitizer (ACECAD D-9000)
lose it's active size settings and revert to the whole tablet area? And why
does this situation persist even after I leave AS and go on into other programs
until
I finally reboot? Come to think of it the reason I abandoned trying to work
with Animator Pro was the flakeyness IT exhibited with the tablet as well. No
matter which driver or settings I used. ( anything within an inch of the sides
of the screen was reachable with the curser only after repeated passes)
Anyone have some insight?
Thanks

how large is your swap file, how much free (actual) hard drive space do you
have once you are inside Windows, and how many resources do you have available
when inside Windows (use Program Manager/About to report this)? this type of
error usually occurs when there are not enough resources to accomodate the
playback.

there is a known bug in the wintab driver.

My swap file is 60 meg with over 300 free on that drive. system resources are
55%.
FWIW, funny, but the wintab driver bug doesn't show up in Corel, Photoshop,
Fractal Painter, Fauve Matisse, MSOffice, Photostyler, Truespace, Adobe
Premiere, Pagemaker, Quad Studio, Midisoft Studio, Cakewalk, etc. only in Anim
Studio! What does AS do differently that brings this "bug" out from hiding?

this looks fine.

yeah, i know, and few of these deal with pressure sensitivity. this is an old
topic. <g> revisited. yet again. <g> i can drag up the old threads on this
again if you like, but there is no resolution to this yet and both the
developers of the drivers and tablets are "aware of the problem".

From Brent Blackett – Acting Manager for AAStudio.
We developed Animator Studio with the WACOM pressure
sensitive tablet drivers, which work very well, especially
with the pressure sensitivity. We are aware of the
compatibility problem with the CalComp and plan to resolve
it in a future version.

Thats good. It makes me happy for the owners of Cal-Comp tablets.
How about MY ACECAD D-9000 Non pressure sensitive straight ahead no fancy
frills digitizer though?

" ACECAD D-9000 Non pressure sensitive…"
I'll give your message to QA and ask them to check into this. Thanks
Nik
Thanks!

Hi Al,
QA's comment on the ACECAD: "Animator Studio uses wintab. We do not have one
of these in QA though this should work."
How does this compare to your experience? Are you using ACECAD's Wintab
driver? Does this work? Some people report that after AAStudio, the tablet's
drawing area is reset.
