I believe i posted this in the wrong place the first time... Sorry about that. I'm having trouble using switch layer i made for the head of my character with Blend morphs. I know how to use Blend Morphs, but not how to blend the two. Is that even possiable. Anyone has a link to a tutorial about this...

I'm trying to trace over a movie of a human head. I have it all setup, but i can't see the movie under the layer. In the old version of AS i would just lower the opacity, but it doesn't seem to work with version 8.

I'm need to send the source files to a client. So that they can rework it if needed. How can go about doing this? Thanks.

I'm working on a full body action shot of man turning around... using switch layers for this. I have about 8 body poses in this switch layer. It works, but i don't like the nappy look. Is there a way to make the turn more smooth using switch layers? Thanks.

I plan on releasing the cartoon series on DVD in the near future, but first free on Youtube and Vimeo. I wanna make this as simple as possiable. On youtube it's gonna be 1280x720. Would that be the best settings for DVD?

Also, would 25 FPS or 30 FPS be the best choice? Thanks guys.

This was one i was having trouble with...https://vimeo.com/43787410

And this was a quick test to see if the background was the problem... https://vimeo.com/43789316

Any advice on backgrounds for animation would be awesome. Thanks.

Again, read youtube's own help page about this. Vimeo usually should look much better. I spent all day on this stuff. ALL DAY. My problem was the highly stylzed background. It was making the overall render look bad. So i replaced the background with something more simple and it looks sharper. I gue...

No, it looks sharp, just the way i want it. Then once uploaded to Youtube and Vimeo... WOW, looks like burnt waste.

I'm having trouble with getting the settings right in APP. What would be the best settings for animation using this program? Or is it the same as film? After i save my Anime Studio short as a Quicktime File, 25 FPS, 1280x720... I then bring it into Adobe Preimere and save it as a H.264, HDTV 720, 25...

Is it 1280x720 or bigger? I want to try to make the qaulity sharper. And sometimes 1280x720 looks crappy. Thanks.

Good stuff.

If its for tv/film then a QuickTime uncompressed at correct aspect is best,yes. For YouTube/Vimeo follow their compression guidelines. But you should really move the decimal point in the 25.00 fee to 2500. This is a more realist price for 3 mins even for a graduate starting out. About 150 dollars f...

Hey, i think i got a job animating. It's not paying much at all. It's 25.00 for three min animation. I'm know i'm getting rammed up the arse, but i could use the experience. Hey, when you finish an animated pieace, how do you send it to a client. Is a Quicktime file the professional way to send it. ...

Good message and the animation is awesome! The quality is really good.

Are there any good tutorials on making explosions from sctratch?
