I recommend Illustrator and Photoshop, if you don't already have them. I use Photoshop more in conjunction with animation, but I have imported Illustrator files into ASPro, but not that often. I also use ArtRage for various things. It's a "natural media" painting program, dedicated to pai...

Lucky you. Could that investor finance my next Mac? I think you've got all software you need (except video editing?), or even more. Lol. I'd love to see some of your work. What is the most user friendly editing software between: Sony Vegas, Final Cut, Adobe Premiere, or 'other' for editing an anima...

Use whatever software you feel comfortable with, and what fits your style. I use TVPaint to animate frame-by-frame and AS only for pans and cutout stuff. Others use Photoshop or even Gimp.

You know you could zoom in nearly endlessly? This way the size of the tablet not really matters, but of course you'll use a big one anyway. (I use a cintiq 21.) Resize the project window to your needs. Other software sometimes has a mode where all palettes vanish and leave the project area only, an...

Funk, Thanks for the response. I get what you're saying about using the pen for the Anime windows. It's just that now the area on the tablet to draw within becomes much smaller. And on top of that if I can't trace my own artwork than the tablet seems to become rather pointless. I do like the scanner...

A Few Questions From a Noob

Hello everyone, I'm a straight up and down noob. I've been doing traditional animation since I was a kid, but I have a big learning curve ahead of me here. I'm using the latest version of Anime Studio Pro and have purchased a Wacom Intous 4 tablet. Forgive me if I use the wrong terms to describe thi...
