"Needs Improvements"
Version: Anime Studio 5.6
Pros
It has some OK features on creating animation.
Cons
I find the interface to be very poorly designed.
Summary
I downloaded 5.6 because I was trying to find a trial version of 6.0 The only place I found the trial was on the Smith Micro website. However, there's a catch. The ONLY way to download the 30-day trial is to give them your credit card information. If you do not cancel before the 30 days they will charge your credit card.
I have never in my life heard of a software company having a 30-day limited trial that requires a credit card. To be honest that sounds like a scam to me. Of all the years I've been online (over 12) I never had to give my banking information to download and use a trial program.
They just lost my potential business. -
"very inconsistant"
Version: Anime Studio 5.6
Pros
bones feature is very easy to use although the bones can move parts you didnt want to move but can be corrected sometimes . this is an okay software for simple animation.dont expect that it can provide multiple characters in one scene.
Cons
all the features are very eradic. the color fill especially and the auto fill and auto close features dont always work. you cant do much with this software its very limited. its okay for the price as a beginner animation toy.I found it frustrating .
Summary
I expected this to be a fun animation device, instead I spent hours developing failed animations that looked terrible after I downloaded them to Youtube. all the charachters have to be either facing front or facing sideways. its almost impossible to turn figures sideways and still use the bones. and overlapping images never work right. the layers never worked the way they were supposed to work, sometimes they did , sometimes they didnt. very inconsistant.and you cant simply draw pictures like stick figures because this program uses shapes only.you can alter the shapes as many ways as possible but you still have to use shapes to create charachters, you cant just draw lines unless they are very thick lines. the auto fill for filling spaces with color is very inconsistant.you can only fill spaces with color and then alter the variations, like soft edge or gradient but to only one image per frame, as I said , its very limited. the only way to draw a line is with their pencil or shaper tools and there is NO eraser offered. you have to delete any line you didnt want. most other simple programs like this at least offer a choice between a pencil or brush and an ERASER. also you cant insert extra frames in the timeline to extend a sequence once the timeline is filled with keyframes and any image you alter after frame 1 will become distorted from then on. this I found extremely frustrating. if you want to change a part of a charachter into the movie you have to go back and fix every single frame and then the movie is all messed up and arm and leg movements are twisted and morphed. so its faster to just start all over. then to try to fix it.

"The software appears to help with animation, but..."
Version: Anime Studio 5.6
Pros
SInce I was unable to use the Tutorials...I will never know the cons. I removed it from my PC.
Cons
Not being able to print out the tutorials effieiently (one page at a time), and only viewable on a web browser, I elected to remove the software & not waste any more time. Sharing my screen with the sotware program & tutorial doesn't work for me.
Summary
Obvioulsy there is a reason why the tutorials are made available in this fashion and inconvient, but no one in support could tell me the reason. Just seems dumb to force me to share a screen with the tutorial pages. (Same as above): Not being able to print out the tutorials effieiently (only one page at a time...which is what support told me), and only viewable on a web browser, I elected to remove the software & not waste any more time. Sharing my screen with the sotware program & tutorial doesn't work for me.

"Advanced Skill a plus"
Version: Anime Studio 5.6
Pros
This is an excellent all purpose program featuring a lot of familiar flash-like qualities such as object, vectors, and frame-by-frame editing. The bones really help make a more fluid animation, but careful editing is necessary at times.
Cons
Not for beginners. If you've used 3d programs and flash then you'll be able to understand it quicker. It has a high learning curve. If you are new to Animation then I would suggest getting an instruction book on Anime Studio before trying it.
