Fun and Useful,
I am a photoshop user so the concept of layers and design tools are not foreign to me. I have also been wanting to work with vectors, since I don’t have Adobe Illustrator, I thought this might be a good substitute.
This is quick easy animation software. There is a learning curve, but it is not that difficult, if you are somewhat familar with other graphic and movie software. Another nice thing is this software comes with a 20 minute video that shows you how to do many of the important features. The video starts off with the drawing tools, and then moves on to the charactor wizard. It has pre-set facial features and body parts so you can easily create unique charactors with the pre-set tools.
One of the coolest features of this software is the bone rigging, which you can use to make your charactors and animations move. You can also create your own charactor using shapes, drawing, and the library of eyes, mouths, and other features. Another nice thing for artists is charactor tracing. You can draw an image and then scan it into the software, which then traces it, and allows you to add colors and animations. You could use one of the charactor wizard bodies and bring your home drawn animation to life. The power of this software is limited to how well you learn to use the tools and your own talent and creativity.
As far as the learning curve, watching and working through the 20 minute video and then following along with the other tutorials would be a good idea. There is also a beginning tutorial when you first open the software and PDF help files. You can also toggle between regular mode and beginner mode, until you learn all of the functionality of the tools.
As far as making animated video clips it is possible to do some really amazing stuff within a short period of time. The software is powerful and not that difficult to grasp, making it great for beginners and more advanced users would enjoy it too. In fact you can’t beat it for the price. That being said, the main feature that Anime Pro has that Debut doesn’t is the ability to export as a PSD. If you are not a photoshop nerd then you will not miss this function.
In order to export still images as jpgs; click on file>preview, and then on the bottom left hand corner of the preview menu, you will find a save as button that allows you to save in JPEG, BMP, Targa, PNG or copy to the clipboard. The great thing about this function is that I can use this software to create vector graphics for the web. Over all this is an affordable, easy to use, animation tool that could keep you entertained for hours and also a very affordable vector graphic solution.

|Simple, Fun, and Easy Animation Software,
First off, I can’t manage to draw a stick figure. Seriously. But I’d like to draw something for entertainment. Cartoons sounded good; I mean, cartoons aren’t the Mona Lisa, right? So I should be able to do that, right?
Well, without help, that’s not going to work. Along comes Anime Studio Debut 8.
What I really like about this program is that it’s easy and fun to use. The tutorial doesn’t assume you are an artist and have lots of experience already. It starts with the basics. Drawing a circle. That’s about as basic and you can get. Can’t draw a circle? You can download one from the program. That’s more like it!
By providing stock shapes and images, along with simplified help, Anime Studio allows people without a shred of talent to actually create something on the computer screen. It’s so easy to use, there is little of that, ‘what does that mean?’ and ‘I don’t understand what to do next!’ feelings. Many drawing/art software assume you’re at the level of Van Gogh to begin with. Anime Studio doesn’t.
Strongly recommended. Finally, a program that doesn’t assume you have a lot of drawing talent and familiarity with design software before one even starts out. Anime Studio Debut 8 is a winner of a program!

|Teacher’s Review,
I am a teacher and have a high-functioning autistic student who has trouble completing traditional assignments. While very smart, it takes an extremely long time and a lot of prompting to complete assignments and projects. I wanted to try this software, to offer my student an alternative choice for a book report project. We read a book as a class and he was required to summarize the book with a comic. It is much harder than it seems as students have to determine the main idea and then of course use the software to animate.
I was concerned when I loaded the software, watched the videos, and read the directions about the software because it seemed complicated. I made a very basic animation to test it and demonstrate to my student. The student was fascinated with the software and watched all the tutorials on the software and googled all the information they could find. Their parents said they researched at home, the fact the student wanted to work on anything at home besides video games, the parents were very happy with. Needless to say the final product was fantastic. It was not perfect but the student put a lot of work into it, their main ideas were spot on and it was a great alternate assessment. The student continues to ask to use this software and as a reward is able to make animations when all their work is completed. I am always looking for products that aid in my teaching and student learning. This product does that.
