how do i render a quick preview of my animation without exporting a movie?
file>preview only renders a single frame.
i tried the shortcuts i found in this forum (F5 and Ctrl P), but they don´t work. i´m using anime studio pro on a mac.

thanks for any help,
katz

ich werd mich mal umhören, ob noch mehr leute interesse hätten! danke noch mal für die schnelle hilfe!

nevermind, when i think about it thats quite a stupid thought. i´ll just make a new mask.
what about an anime studio pro workshop in berlin?

thanks so much for your fast answer!! it works well! and i´m happy to see that i wasn´t that far away from doing the right thing... the only problem is that i created my mask in the shape of the part where the creature should be invisible. so now its invisible where it should be visible and the othe...

hello, sorry for asking such probably basic questions, but i´m new to masking and its driving me completely mad that i just can´t find out how to do this... i would be very grateful for any help. i have a flying creature which is built like this: bone layer creature _>bone layer wing1 __>image layer...

thanks for your replies, unfortunately that didn´t help either. i couldn´t figure out what the problem is, so i solved it by making the character and all bones completely new. now it works... i don´t understand why, but i´m glad it does....

hi muffy, thanks for your answer. the arm image layer is inside the arm bone layer, which is inside the body bone layer. the arm image is bound to the arm bones, thats not the problem. i can animate it well. i just don´t understand the weird behavior when i switch to the spread-apart-view. it just l...

another question to this amazing helpful forum... i put bones in the arm of a character (on frame 0, arm positioned away from the body), then i use the offset tool to drag the arm bones in the right position, arm image layer follows, everything fine. but when i go back to the spread-apart-view the b...

hi muffy, great... sometimes its so simple, and still takes me ages to find out...!
thanks a lot!!

thanks, i just found out... i can turn off visibility and the invisible part is marked red in the timeline... but i can still see the layer. do you know what i´m doing wrong?

as i read in many posts there is supposed to be a layer visibility channel in the timeline... to make a layer invisible and visible again on different keyframes. its probably very simple, but i just can´t find this channel!!
where is it? i´m using anime studio pro 6. thanks for any help.

thanks, it works really well & easy this way! i only just discovered this forum, its great!

thanks a lot to both of you for your fast reply!!!
sounds like a good idea, i have to go now, but i´ll try tomorrow!

hello, i have a character who is moving and playing the trumpet at the same time. the trumpet is an image layer bound to the head bone. as the character is holding the trumpet in the hand it should also be bound to the trumpet. so when i animate the character, the arm should be able to move with the...
