Design and Layout
Easily Create Objects
Create by drawing directly in Anime Studio with a new suite of enhanced drawing tools or import your favorite digital images or artwork.
•Draw directly in Anime Studio using a mouse or recreate the sensation of drawing on paper using a Pen Tablet. Anime Studio's vector-based drawing tools allow you to manipulate your art to get the exact look and feel you desire.
•Anime Studio also allows you to import your existing 2D images and Photoshop files to get started. Anime Studio Pro provides 3D import capabilities, allowing you to import 3D OBJ files from Poser, Shade, Amapi and other 3D applications to use in your animations.
•Import your own video clips in MOV and AVI format. Import sounds in WAV, AIFF, or M4A format and create your own fandubs and fansubs quickly and easily!
Organize Your Project with Complete Control
Anime Studio's new sequencer gives you total control over the creative process making it easy for you to organize and complete your project using multiple layers of audio, video, imagery, and animation.
•Set up your 2D canvas to the exact dimensions you want. With Anime Studio Pro, you can even turn your canvas into a 3D stage with X, Y and Z coordinates. Easily produce your animation with added depth and dimension.
•Using Anime Studio's vector-based graphics, you can freely adjust canvas resolution and size without losing image quality.
•Anime Studio 7 incorporates a familiar layer based workflow, making it easy and efficient to organize your assets and create your animation. Save time by reusing your art - simply create an asset once and place it on a layer, then refer to that layer any time you need to reuse that piece of art.
•Advanced layer features include Switch Layers. Anime Studio will rotate among all the layers in a set, showing only one layer at a time, saving you a great deal of time when animating body movements or facial expressions.
•Rig your characters, objects and scenes with Anime Studio's revolutionary bone system that makes the animation process easier than ever before. Bones create a skeleton that determines joints or flex points in your artwork. Manipulate the bones in your image into new positions without having to redraw! You can think of drawings in Anime Studio as soft rubber, and bones can be thought of as stiff wires inside the rubber that help you move and position objects on the screen. Bones are never displayed in a final render, they're just used as tools during the animation process.
•Organize your project in Anime Studio using keyframe animation and a timeline. All you need to do is position your image on the canvas and manipulate the project timeline. The program will interpolate the motion between positions for you!
•In Anime Studio Pro, you can also fine tune your animations with powerful timeline controls, including onion skins, tweening and graph mode. Create animations up to two minutes long with Anime Studio Debut, or unlimited length with the Pro version.
Finish for Web, TV, Film and Still Formats
With Anime Studio 7, you can output your finished work to a variety of standard formats.
•Output your finished animations to popular movie formats, including AVI, MOV and Flash (SWF export for vector based animations).
•With Anime Studio Pro, you can easily transfer your work to other popular graphics programs to utilize assets for other projects or to add color to your art. Output video and animation of unlimited length to formats including NTSC/PAL D1/DV Standard and Widescreen; HDV and HDTV 780p and 1080p; AVI, MOV, Flash and more.
Techniques
Traditional animation was created by drawing frames one after another, each frame drawn slightly different from the last. Anime Studio will help you simulate frame-by-frame animations, yet drastically reduces the time required for frame-by-frame animation.
Anime Studio offers you the flexibility to create animations using several techniques that can be combined to deliver the effects you need in your project.
•Rigging Your Characters Using Bones
Anime Studio's unique bone rigging allows you to create a skeleton that can be manipulated to animate characters, simple drawings, or objects that will be part of your animation, making animation easier than ever before. Even beginners new to animation will find this powerful feature to be a breakthrough.
◦Bone rigging helps to build animations by creating joints or flex points in your artwork. Add bones simply by point-and-click on your character, drawing or object. Then move the bones like a puppet to manipulate your image into new positions without having to redraw!
◦Add keyframes to your timeline and adjust your bone movements, then move down the timeline and repeat the process. Creating animation is that easy.
◦Bones are interdependent just like a skeleton. When you adjust one bone, all other bones connected will be moved in response to this movement.
◦Anime Studio's bone rigging also uses spring-like simulation to calculate dynamic bone movement, making a wide range of movements seem real, such as jumping, waving flabby body parts, and bouncing hair.
•Animating In Layers
Anime Studio takes advantage of graphical layers called Switch Layers, which makes it easier to work with a combination of connected movements that occur along a timeline. This is especially valuable for animating body movements or facial expressions, such as creating lip-synch animations, when each graphical layer can be a mouth shape for a different sound.
•Animate the Individual Points on an Object
Using Anime Studio's vector-based graphics, you can add points to a line and then adjust the line position as you change your timeline to create motion.
•Animate using Physics
Anime Studio Pro 7 features a powerful rigid body physics engine that allows objects to collide with and bounce off of each other. Set the density, springiness and gravity of objects and create stunning animations. Easily integrate physics animation into your existing animation projects. Set up motors to move shapes, force fields to control the direction of objects, or automatically convert characters with rigged bone systems to ragdoll physics objects. The Physics engine is a big timesaver, allowing you to automate parts of your animation.
More Features
Extra animation features include:
•Cycling keyframe interpolation. Anime Studio will automatically cycle a section of animation, repeating it over again as many times as you wish.
•Onion Skins show the position of the objects in your scene at a given point in time. Click on any point in the timeline to see onion skins in Anime Studio Pro.
•Actions are little clips of animation that are associated with a layer or group of layers.
Sounds and Special Effects
Sounds and Lip-Synching
Add a soundtrack and lip-synching to your animations! Record your own sound clips inside Anime Studio and adjust the pitch from high to low to fit your animated characters or import existing audio files into your project. Anime Studio 7 will automatically insert them into your timeline, where you can adjust the timing and length to fit your scene. Using the Sequencer, freely move multiple sounds along the timeline to adjust syncing. Anime Studio supports WAV, AIFF, MP3 and M4A formats.
Built-in lip syncing in Anime Studio is a huge timesaver. Simply load a sound file, and from the layer options of the layer you wish to synch, select the sound file from a pull-down menu. Anime Studio 7 does the rest.
•Lip Synching in Anime Studio Debut 7
Easily synchronize characters lip and mouth movements to sound file through a simple and intuitive process. This version of lip-synching is based on sound amplitude making the approach simple and straight forward yet still offering realistic results.
