Re: JSON output

As of version 11, the main project file (Anime Studio's internal format, .anime) is now a zipped JSON file, it's not a separate export. See this thread for a link to the official format documentation with some example code in Python for working with the new format (if you don't program in Python, th...

Re: Is there a short way to write a name to the bone

If you literally have hundreds of bones, with the new file format it is now much easier to modify the .anime file directly with moderately simple programming. Useful links: http://my.smithmicro.com/downloads/AnimeStudioDocumentFileFormat.pdf http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2...

Re: Unable to install trial

Did you actually put in your credit card details? Or just click Start Trial without putting in credit card details? It was not clear to me in your original post. I don't think the trial will install without a credit card check - it is not an option, the trial is a pending (delayed) order with "...

Re: Touch screen scripting? Possible?

Right-mouse hold and drag left-right will also modify Anime Studio numeric input fields - works fine with most pens where the side button is set to right-mouse functionality (including tablet PCs such as the Surface Pro). Not gestures, but there are also a range of programs for adding visual touch o...

Re: Trial Restrictions?

I think it is possible to be too concerned over specifications. Vimeo defines its SD material as 640×480 or 640×360. The standard preview for most YouTube videos (viewed directly in the YouTube interface on a desktop computer) is 854x480. Sure, you have the option to maximise to full-screen HD, but ...

Re: Thoughts on Anime Studio Pro 11

Don't forget you can also view the timeline in Motion Graph mode as well (affected by what you have selected), might sometimes be clearer about what is happening than the keyframes (particularly for a programmer, perhaps?) e.g. graphs of a selected bone's rotation and translation. However, you may c...

Re: Layer blending modes not working in ASP 11.2?

Immediate on-screen feedback makes sense in static image manipulation software, but I suspect it would cause a terribly slow frame rate for animation preview playback.

Re: Where do I install Papagayo?

Papagayo is a separate standalone utility, not a plugin.

It doesn't get recognised by Anime Studio, it runs independently and generates a lipsync data file (something.dat) that Anime Studio (or other software) imports and uses to change mouth (or other) switch layers.

Oh, and a belated hello to you!

Re: Where do I install Papagayo?

Have you created all the mouth shapes for your character, and are the named exactly the same ( AI , not lower case ai , not image extension AI.jpg )? If you open the .dat file with a text editor (Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on a Mac), do you see something like this? MohoSwitch1 1 etc 4 AI 7 etc 13 ...

Re: Trouble Importing .psd - Anime Studio Pro 10-Windows

Try under Edit > Preferences > File Handling (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling (Mac OS).
Look for Maximise PSD File Compatibility.

Or is there a compatibility option offered when you save to PSD?

Re: How do I install AS on multiple computers?

Contacting Smith Micro support might be your best move, unless anyone with more knowledge chimes in.

Re: How do I install AS on multiple computers?

There should be a link in the registration email, but that may expire. You could copy and use the downloaded installer from the first computer. You could use the Updates page to download the latest update, perhaps? http://my.smithmicro.com/anime-pro-updates.html or http://my.smithmicro.com/anime-deb...
