Note that drawing inside of Anime Studio Pro 11 is much more effective in this version according to Smith Micro, I just didn't get a chance to test them. With big improvements to importing layered Photoshop files into Anime Studio Pro 11, I had no problem bringing in my drawings to animate. I don't use a Wacom tablet for animation, so most of the files I use in Anime Studio Pro 11 are imported from Adobe's Photoshop CC 2015. Working with Anime Studio Pro 11Īs usual, Anime Studio Pro 11 is easy and fun to use. This can reduce timeline clutter and help you focus on specific channels for easier editing and animation. Timeline Enhancements NEW in Anime Studio Pro 11 - You can now show and hide channels on the timeline based on your preferences. If layers are re-arranged, Anime Studio will maintain its own layer ordering but still reflect the visual changes made from Photoshop. Improved Photoshop File Support NEW in Anime Studio Pro 11 - Now new PSD layers will be applied into Anime Studio when the active file is updated in Photoshop. Use the Re-parent Bone Tool at any time to reset the parent or unlink bones completely by clicking off the canvas. Animating objects where a handoff occurs is now easier and smoother than ever.Īnimated Bone Parenting NEW in Anime Studio Pro 11 - Now you can switch parents for your bones mid-animation and Anime Studio will automatically keyframe the result. This enables collaborators to work simultaneously while easily updating changes into respective stages of the pipeline.Īnimated Bone Targets NEW in Anime Studio Pro 11 - Now you can easily switch from one target bone to another when working with animated bone targets. Layer Referencing NEW in Anime Studio Pro 11 - Now you can duplicate layers while maintaining a connection to the original. Of course, the major addition is frame-by-frame animating (see above) which is something users have been requesting for some time. For now, I'll just give you the highlights. You can get a complete list of new additions to the program here. Not that that the previous ones were small, it's just that there are so many improvements and tweaks there are too many to list here.

This is one huge upgrade over previous versions of Anime Studio Pro.

Or perhaps they are only just figuring out how very powerful and easy to use Anime Studio Pro is? Considering that Anime Studio Pro's user base has been primarily hobbyists and internet animator, the fact that a pro-level animation company like XX is using the software speaks volumes for it's increasing appeal to the professional animator. In addition to adding a long requested feature to their newest version of Anime Studio (frame-by-frame animation), the Oscar-winning animated film 'Song of the Sea' used Anime Studio Pro 11 to animate approximately 3 minutes of the film. Smith Micro must be riding high right now.
