I am prior military and when I was overseas I found a copy of Anime Studios but lost it. This year I received Anime Studios Pro 10 and have a couple of questions I was hoping y'all would help me out with...
1) For a first project I was going to take an old photo of my brother and I and turn us into the South Park Canadian thing with the flapping head just to get an idea of how things could work. When I cut the head out in photoshop, I can't just save the head and inport it into the program. Any ideas on what to do?

2) I drew some pictures to place into the program however I can not place bones into the image to have the body parts move. I took the image and re-drew it on the program but the finished project looks sloppy.

3) would a drawing pad thing work with the software?

1. Are you using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements?
It sounds like you're trying to export the head as an image from Photoshop. This should be easy enough. You just need to create all the parts as separate layers, then export them. Try and save them as a 32bit .png images to retain any transparent areas.
You can also import .psd files into Anime Studio which is a real time saver as it retains layers, and auto-updates when you save any changes from photoshop. (File>import>image)

2. Create a bone layer, then move your imported image layer under this layer. Look at the bone tutorials that come with Anime Studio (Tutorial 4.1)

3. Anime Studio plays well with Wacom tablets. I sometimes use it, but prefer my Logitech Performance MX mouse.
