Save Time With Advanced Animation Capabilities

Anime Studio offers you the flexibility to create animations using several techniques that save you time and make the animation process easier than ever before. Combine techniques to deliver the effects you need for any project:
Animate Using Bones. Anime Studio's unique bone-based animation technology allows you to create a skeleton that can be manipulated to animate characters, simple drawings, or objects that will be parts of your animation. Add keyframes to your timeline and adjust your bone movements, then move down the timeline and repeat the process. The program will interpolate the motion between positions for you! Animating is that easy.
Animate In Layers. Anime Studio takes advantage of graphical layers called Switch Layers, which make it easier to work with a combination of connected movements that occur along a timeline. This is especially valuable for animating body movements or facial expressions, such as creating lip-synch animations, when each graphical layer can be a mouth shape for a different sound.
Animate the Individual Points on an Object. Using Anime Studio's vector-based graphics, you can to add points to a line and then adjust the line position as you change your timeline to create motion.
 
 
Create Amazing Special Effects

Add special effects to your animations. Customize colors and fills for your objects using the Style palette. Add line effects such as Shaded, Soft Edge, Splotchy, Spots, Halo and Gradients. Manipulate the camera around your scene to create action and drama in your projects.
