Anime Studio Debut 9

Updated the manga studio 5. Bought by my daughter after taking a graphics art class at our local community college.

Im still learning it right now.

Seems good so far. My disk came a little scuffed, but installed just fine. Ive been busy so I havent really got to use it much. But its totally work the 6 something paid.

The anime studio very well still a beginner on using it but Im still trying learning it step by step but good as a hobby.

I love it is good for 2nd animators who wanna just to get a feel of animating

I got this for my 11 year old son to bring his drawings to life. It is not easy or user friendly. Im sure it will do what we want but figuring it out is taking a long time. If you have patience and have the time to read and figure it out then I think you will like it but I was hoping it would be a bit easier to get going.

I have been using Amorphium and other animation software for several years and got Anime Studio Debut 9 when I wanted to create some animated cartoons - the bones feature is a big time saver - great program.

easy to use lots of tutorials on you tube

I was waiting a very long time to buy this, for I had never had an animating program. Once I got it though, it told me that I had to pay $40 if I wanted to go more than 2 minutes. And it was very confusing to use if you wanted to draw your own figure, unless it was a shape. And to learn how you had to read this large instruction manual. I am sad to say that this is two stars, but I was just expecting better from it.

Anime Studio Debut 9 is by far one of the least user-friendly programs I have ever used. Even very simple actions take an excessive amount of clicks through menus to get done. For example, lets take an incredibly simple function like drawing a vector-based circle. You draw your circle and you want to modify the fill and stroke. Sorry, but you cant, those options are greyed out. Even though the circle is already selected because you just drew the darn thing you have to first click on the Select Shape tool, click the shape, THEN you can change properties of the circle. WHY?! I just drew it, let me change its attributes right there and then! Another massive gripe I have with Debut is that your project dimensions are limited to 788x768! This is a huge limitation that basically cripples the software for me. ASD9 has some cool features, like bone-rigging, that work really well, but is rendered unusable due to the frustrating and unintuitive user interface. Fortunately the software is cheap enough that trying it out isnt going to break the bank.
