How can I import my drawings into anime studio and put them sequentially on the timeline simply to animate them. I tried importing images of my scanned work but it won't separate them on the timeline. I don't want to retrace them or vectorize them because they lose their life. I just want to animate MY original drawings.

save them in a switch layer, then just switch to the pic you want to show.

Or even better theres this image sequencer embedded script you can use.http://www.hubumedia.com/anime-studio-s ... yer-script

In the scripts menu (Pro only) use Scripts>Image>Import Image Sequence.

Are these images frame-by-frame "tweens" (if so Synthsin75's advice is good). But if they're storyboard or extreme keyframes and you need to make the transitions between them in AS you'll need to do something else. And exactly what that "something else" is will depend on how different the individual drawings are... For example: can you readily morph one into another or are the poses completely different - e.g. pic 1: someone's face in CloseUp ; pic 2: long shot of them running away from camera... IOW how far apart are these "extremes"? And will you need to hand-draw other breakdown frames? If what you have is, in effect, a graphic novel you might find that Motion Artist is a better tool!
