I cant' seem to draw a vector line with a stroke in one move. Say I create a simple line with the 'add point' tool. Two, or three points. I get a spline of the line but I can't find a way to create it with a stroke as I go along or close it at the end some way so it will know it should have a stroke...

Ok, very useful, big time saver.
I guess a Save Settings menu would still come in handy, because it could (maybe) be used across files and i feel being able to save settings profiles would give more control. Having said that, your advice is a big step forward, thanks!

Unless it's out there and I haven't found it, I'd find the ability to save Layer Properties very useful. For example, if I want to share the same shadow, or vector settings of one layer to another layer, now I have to copy them number by number. If I could save them with a name and then choose them ...

Ha, yes I guess one should always be wary about wishing out loud "why not add the option to..." because that's what ends up making software bulky.

Actually the whole movie starts at 0, but I have layers that start at other frames. In this particular instance, I have a series of different (and unrelated) animated events which appear in sync to a musical soundtrack. So I'm preparing them in separate files and then importing them at the desired f...

On the other hand, it seems to me as if ASP11 does put an extra keyframe right before the one you choose to be the new starting one. Imagining start at frame 100 again, I see ASP lets me move the position of the character without adding paths (the straight line path which I've come to learn indicate...

Right. So if my Layer Time starts, say, at 100, then frames 1 to 99 are considered like any other frame? If zero is editing frame and 100 is Start Time, whatever falls imbetween is a sort of 'limbo' :D I don't know why, but this concept tends to elude me quite often. I mean it hasn't yet sunken into...

This is not really a "How Do I...?" but more like a doubt. I'm using ASP for a major project (for big screen projection, so, quite detailed) and I can say It's working well for me. One thing I sort of fight with, though, is how the Set Layer Start Time command works, especially how it impa...

I'm using Pro11. But, oops... my bad! I totally missed the Save As menu on the Render Cache window! Great, make believe I didn't say anything :D Thanks Slowtiger. So that solves that. I guess it would still be nice to be able to change the res of the images, especially for print purposes. I guess on...

Is there a way to get some good quality still images from my animated project? I find myself using the images from the Render Cache but they never look very good and the resolution can't be changed (not that I've seen but I may have missed it). I find a good old export to jpeg, tiff, png, maybe even...

OK I don't know if this exists so I'll post it. A tool to find layers on the timeline could be useful. Especially if its' a long timeline. Say I have many layers, some are on, some are off. It could be useful to be able to tell the Layer palette 'take me to where this layer is active'. It would thus...

http://i63.tinypic.com/214e0ll.jpg This is the way my group layer looks, in the point where I'm using the Layer Ordering. The dashed line indicates the actions, if I'm not incorrect (sorry, still getting the ASP glossary under my belt :) ). Unfortunately I can't re-create the problem now that I've ...

You are spot on right about the Smart Bones, because my character in fact contains four different Smart Bone Dials. So maybe it's that that's bugging the Animated Layer Order. I still kind of like the idea of the Animated Layer Order because it has the advantage of letting me keep my layers down to ...

Don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what but I have this situation: a character has to fly around a tower. So I put both character layer and tower layer in a Group Layer and tell it to enable Animated Layer Order. Then I created the character's loop around the tower. I then moved his layer up...

That looks good. I'll... try to try it! As you say it would still be good if the good people at Anime Studio just threw that in, or, as you say, would hardwrite it in. Thanks a lot!
