Combining two or more projects

Post by troyhughes71 »

Is there a way to combine multiple anime studio pro 11 projects into one?
AKA "copy and paste" one project into another.
Can I do this using insert "Anime Studio Project" or "Movie"?
I searched for tutorials on this and have found nothing.

You can always import a Moho project or parts of it into another.

Good to have that confirmed, but I am asking how it is done.

(Note: It's been years since I last used version 11, so I'm assuming this part hasn't changed too much...)

Alternatively, you should be able to just copy and paste what you want from one project to another. Just have both projects open, drop all the layers you want to copy into a Group layer, then use Copy Layer and Paste Layer to move the group to the second project. Note that this is not the same and Copy and Paste...you MUST use Copy Layer and Paste Layer.

Import Project also works well of course. The project will appear broken down by parent groups, so you may need to arrange the project in a certain way if you only want to import parts of that project.

Hope this helps.
