Hi all, I was wondering is there a way to export just a character from anime studio? For example if I had just an animated head like this :D is there a way to just export the animated head without any filler or background in it?

-Thanks

Just switch off visibility of the remaining layers.

Turning off the other layers still leaves a white background, unless I misunderstood what you meant.

That background can be exported transparent if you use a codec which supports alpha. For example, Quicktime PNG Millions of Colors+

Thanks so much for the reply! The png did work, however it exported the animation as a series of pictures, any way of exporting it as video?

Yes, you exported as PNG files and not as Quicktime PNG file, as I said.
In the export window you must select Quicktime Movie. Once you press ok, a new window will be opened with the specific Quicktime options. There you select PNG codec and Millions of colors +.
The exporting result will be a single .mov file, with PNG compression and transparent bakground.

You can't export to Quicktime when running at 64bit. To solve that, simply go to File>Relaunch in 32bit mode
The software will be closed and reopened in 32 bit. In that version you can export to Quicktime.

With Anime Studio open go up to file and then in the drop down select relaunch in 32 bit. If for some reason that is not there its because you did not let it install while installing the program. To fix this reinstall both versions of anime studio.

Gracias por su ayuda Víctor cuando usted me ayudó!
