I'm just new in anime studio 5 and just created a simple cartoon film on it. When I played it back in windows media player it is just a tiny square animation in the middle of the player. I'm a bit disappointed I thought I could watch it just like looney tunes that can fill up my entire 17" laptop screen. Or is it possible to do that? I need to hear from you.

When you say "it is just a tiny square animation in the middle of the player" what do you mean? Is the area around the "square" part of the render? Was the AS camera view zoomed out?

Did you hit the "full screen" mode in Windows player?

You have to check your project settings.
What size is the final render set for? Is it the default 320 x 240? Did you try a larger render size?

Is this the standard or pro versions? I think the standard has a limit on the resolution of the final render but I'm guessing.

Lots of information you left out for us to help.

Tnx Vern, actually I'm using anime standard not the pro and I am indeed new using this software. There is this square blue line as if the paper space of this software and I draw my animation inside that square I'm not using any camera in this instance just simply making drawings frame by frame inside that square paper space, after doing it I exported it to quicktime movie. When i watched my production in windows media player it is very small and not filling up the entire area of my windows media player screen, I tried to zoom it in using my movie editing software the problem here the color quality was very poor.

Some further detail on one of Vern's suggestions:

Go into the File menu, and select Project Settings...

Choose a project Dimensions setting from the Presets drop-down list.

The default is only 320x240 - small but good for quick-rendering previews, some Internet sites, email attachments, and some mobile phones and hand-held personal media devices.

Change it to something like PAL or NTSC (television dimensions) and export it again - I suspect this will be more what you are expecting.

You can also set custom dimensions for multimedia, specific web sites, etc.

Note: Many computers will struggle to play back at full screen resolution (1280x1024 or higher) and it's wasted if you are outputting to normal DVD (as compared to one of the HD formats).

Thanks Myles, probably that solve my problem.
