I also think that the price tag of $299 is crazy high, but I also can’t complain with the end result for how my animations turned out. I do think that they can improve the workflow even more by adding in quick hotkeys so that you can access certain functions faster, such as pressing “V” should allow you to toggle the selected objects on screen to be visible or hidden to speed up the process of animating, but I do see a huge improvement from the past version of Anime Studio.

Don’t let this completely turn you off though, if you stick with it and actually learn how to use all the tools after the initial learning curve, Anime Studio Pro 11 has quite a lot of functions to pull off what you want to do to make complex animations, giving you a very powerful animation software to work with.

However, I need to point out that based on the quote that was posted by the animation team, the entire movie was not made using only this program, they only used it for certain scenes or objects in the movie, such as the underwater sequences and the seaweed movements.Īnime Studio Pro 11 has added a few new improvements to increase workflow elements to make it easier to animate and create content, but it is still a bit too difficult to use for most beginners, and the online tutorial provided appeared to confuse most of the viewers that watched the video.

However, I found it a bit clunky and hard to use, so instead I relied on just importing images and making them visible or hidden to animate each frame. Smith Micro has also updated Anime Studio Pro 11 to include the new frame by frame animation function so that you can do more traditional style animation, which is the style of animation I normally use for all of my animations, including the one in the below video. The program also has preset characters, special effects and resources that you can use to help you get started in creating your own animations. Depending on the time you put into your animations you can make some really detailed and unique content. You can use the powerful bone drawing tool to draw out your characters and then connect the bones to make a skeleton to animate your characters easily by manipulating the individual parts, the end result looks a lot like classic Flash animation. At the bottom of this article I will post my YouTube video that I created using the program. Older versions of the Anime studio program can be purchased from Amazon for a much cheaper price.įirst, I would like to point out everything you can do with Anime Studio Pro 11.
