I want to buy a copy of animator or animator PRO, what's the difference both in price and functionality? Can I buy from yourselves, and if so how much? If not who do you recommend, which version numbers should I be looking out for? We use COREL draw a lot, will I have any problems putting together presentations using COREL show by importing animations *.FLI into the "show" ?

Autodesk Animator is the original, low resolution animation program, and Autodesk Animator Pro is its high-resolution cousin. Animator is now sold in a bundled package called "Multimedia Explorer." Although you can still find copies of the original Animator around, Explorer is usually a better deal, even with the discounts you might find on the original Animator. The Explorer includes a CD-ROM of clip art and stuff. Either of these packages are sold through retail outlets. Animator Pro (or Anipro) is sold only through multimedia dealers. You can get the number of the dealer nearest you by calling 800/879-4233. AniPro is resolution-independant and requires a 386 or better. It's got a lot of extra stuff, but you'd be best talking to your dealer about what all the extras are. As far as its use with Corel, perhaps someone else on the forum can jump in on that. I don't really use Corel that much anymore. – Jack
