Hello,
I am new to the forum.
I wish I realize a project : make the trailer of a comic book like :

but unfortunately I have some problems with Anime Studio Pro 9.
I make images of my characters on Photoshop with a tablet, then I imported on Anime Studio, but my problem is how to make the software convert to vector?
I tried the solution of the Tracing Image Auto (which automatically creates points) but then how to animate my character? When I put the bones on Auto Image Tracing, it moves the image itself and not the character.
I hope you understand my gibberish, someone please have a solution?
Thank you in advance

Re: heelp with AS
firstly, don't double post.
now - why do you need to make it vector? the examples you show aren't vector, and if you are drawing the artwork yourself, you should separate the body parts into layers and then just import, rig and animate the PSD. Making this style of comic artwork vector will really slow down your process due to excessive number of points, and you'll never get a similar 'painterly' feel (if that's how you're drawing)
watch this: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=24533
Also, read the manual.
After that, maybe you will have more specific questions.

Great comics. What funks said -- you don't need vectors for this. There's very little animation in these clips, it's all about the framing, viewpoint, and drawing. Make sure the originals in Photoshop are 2 or 3 times the final pixel resolution you will work in, so if you have to zoom, the quality is still good enough. Try to cut out the drawings with a 1-pixel feather around the outline so you don't get any unwanted lines around your drawings when you import them into Anime Studio.
Have you looked at Motion Artist by Smith MIcro? It's a little cheaper than Anime Studio Pro and it might be just what you are looking for.

You can't have everything. Where would you put it?
Re: heelp with AS
Thanks both for reply.
I actually hesitated between these two programs, but I'll see what offers Motion Artist.
