I noticed that theres an importer for videos on anime studio. and when I first saw that I said to myself, Roger Rabbit. So I tried it out and it works cool.

Mike already did this successfully, see viewtopic.php?t=11443, there's a link to the finished piece at the end.

Yes, it can be done, and I'm still amazed by AS' ability with handling video so nicely.

don't forget you can use videos with bones too, just like image layers. I hope to work soon in a project with chromed videos, something like a human head video on a cut out body, for example.

a tip: you can modify the start of the video turning off the visibility on frame one and on any frame you want to start.
second tip: if you want to control the visibility, without restarting the video, just put it inside a group and turn on/off the group instead the video.

Thats a great Tip Selgin! (using visibility to modify frame start no. for video) I never knew that, thanks!
