Anime Studio Debut 9

Daughter uses it said it fine

Just got this thing about a few days ago. Started to look through tutorials and how-tos on this software. When I was messing with it for the last couple of hours, I had some likes and dislikes about it. Things I Liked: - Frame-by-Frame/Timeline: The timeline helped out a lot while I was messing around with making animations. Almost as easy as Adobe Flash. - Bone System: The bone system was also a nice little feature that saved me a lot of time. Its a nice feature, but I rather go with Frame-by-Frame animation as it gives me more control. -Freehand Drawing (Pen Pressure) The pen pressure feature helped when I was doing some rough sketches of making characters in animation. Things I Disliked: After 30 minutes of using the software, I found out this wasnt really as user-friendly as Adobe Flash. Heres why: -When doing the Freehand Drawing, there isnt any easy erase tool if you mess up your lines. Its either you have to undo it, or use the joints and fiddle around with the line until it fits your liking. -The scene settings didnt allow for me to have the resolution at HD. If you wanted something WideScreen, best go with 640x480 if you want to upload on Youtube. Conclusion: The software isnt entirely bad. For 22 dollars, its worth the money, but I kind of wish Smith Micro added a little bit more. Then again, they have a pro version, but its 300 dollars. Not worth my money. If you want something really user-friendly, try out Adobe Flash if you have 600 dollars lying around with you. Just be sure what you want to do with the software, for Anime Studio 9 isnt for everybody. I give it 4 stars because while its not the most user-friendly software there is, for only 20 dollars, its worth it.

I brought this product for my son and he loves it

Its ok.

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.

Good easy software to start with..

I only paid 8 bucks and im still disappointed.

Easy to load. Ran without problems. Tutorials are easy to follow. A first time user can have fun within a few minutes

Its too old really. I think it will be better if you buy an up to date Anime. This debut 9 isnt really working. Not worth buying.

I am looking forward to using this software soon. All the other online products I have tried did not work.
