It doesn't seem to work. Either that or I didn't do it properly...

Is there a way to add a layer into a bone so that when I move the bone, the layer will follow horizontally only. I am trying to create shadow, so far I've been animating the shadow separately with the bon character. I'm just trying to cut my animation time in half :D Let me know if you have a soluti...

Try to uninstall useless fonts.

THANK YOU!! I only removed some of the heavy fonts and it solved my problem instantly!

Library was also slow, but setting to "old library" preference, solved that problem.

I am having my AS 9.5 "not responding" every time I try and add Text. How do you change the preferences to 'old library'? This is really frustrating...

I may have a theoretical solution. Can anyone who has AS 9.5 create a file with the word text on it. Don't create the text layer into a vector; just send it as it is. I have a feeling this might overwrite the "lengthy" memorized text that's causing my AS to freeze.

The font tool memorizes the last thing you entered, it's a nice feature but it has a flaw. I have typed up 50 or so words, it worked fine but now each time I try and use the Typography/Font tool, Anime Studio freezes. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to clear the cache from the Font tool???

^^ Good to know! Thank you!

uncheck the box next to CONSOLIDATE TIMELINE

It was already unchecked by default! But it works, I wasn't cycling all of the frames. I figured if one of the frames was set to cycle, all of them would as well. Thanks for the help!

Hope that helps

OMG!!! You just saved me SO MUCH DAMN TIME!!! I have been a rookie and selecting each bone individually for months lol! Thanks a million!!!!

you just need to go back and cycle those bones back to frame 1

It should work if you cycle back to frame 2 as well...and it doesn't work when I set it to frame 1 either.

Do you have consolidate time line channels selected in the preferences?

Is that in Project Settings?

I want to select every individual bone via manipulator tool, placing a key frame on the timeline, without having to select each bone one by one. Help me save time, what's the shortcut?

Is there a technique to make bone styled animation look like frame by frame? Maybe messing with frame rates or sample rates etc? If you mean making the animation choppy, kind of like in South Park, it requires lots of rest points throughout the animation and short distance between key frames. The b...
