Thanks Paul, I was happy that worked out, too, a small success in the larger scheme of things. Photoshop to the rescue.

for the tip. Looks like it would help me to upgrade!

Yes..do I need 8 for that? I would need both static and dynamic images..thanks.

Thanks for your observations. Yes, the sleeping bag project was actually meant to be integrated with other explanatory regular video, with much more description to go along with it, but the guy that hired me got dropped for unrelated reasons, so I just threw things together at the end, then added th...

I thought I'd post some work I created earlier this year. They were both great learning-curve projects, with some obvious flaws, but as a way to sink my teeth into Anime Studio I think they were successes. I have to thank Dale Hemenway for his tutorial on creating characters, that really helped me a...

Hi, I am currently using Anime pro 6 and I am needing to find a way to create precise sine waves. I have tried copying over renderings created in illustrator, since you can't import earlier than illustrator 8, but this is not as precise as I'd like. Is there a way either in Anime 6, or 8, do do this...

Thank you for your advice - I hadn't thought of putting things together later in a video editing program and next time I will do that. I am not sure if I understand what you mean by placing each scene in a group layer. Perhaps I am not using the word scene correctly? What I mean by 'scene' is that i...

I am working on a project that involves a number of different scenes with two characters, both of which have multiple aspects. So far, I have learned how to make changes to each scene, placing the characters in different positions and placements, without affecting the previous scenes - except for wh...

Any way; all fixed? Yes, I hope so - now to try rigging the bones again, at least I can see the drawing once I 'manipulate bones'. But I am a beginner with this software. I am VERY encouraged with the ready help to be found here, so I won't pull my hair out so much, knowing that I can seek advice o...

Thank you very much for checking. I decided that I needed to create a new file, but since I didn't want to lose my work, I copied all the vector layers individually and made sure they were placed correctly within the bone layer. It took me about an hour but I now see I can manipulate bones. - Jonathan

I put the file here:

If you can share the file, it would help on discover the problem. Meanwhile we can only guess: 1) The bone offset makes the layers go to other place. 2) Some times, bones with strength = 0 (all bones) makes the layers go to infinite when the bone setup is active. 3) All layers are bound (and offset...

I'm having this issue: after creating a character, separating out the elements in each layer (everything is within a bone layer) and adding bones, when I click on the 'manipulate bones tool', the drawing disappears and all I can see are the bone strength shapes. At first I thought I didn't have the ...
