Great Software, Though the Manual Needs Some Work,
This was an amazing piece of software that will take you to the next level in regards to creating anime. I did also try the Debut version of the software and though it had some of the functionality of the Pro version, this version by far was superior. The program, though a bit complex to learn at the front end, truly takes off once you have mastered the controls, and makes the task of animation much easier than the frame by frame animation of the past.
One of the things that I enjoyed the most on this program was the automatic figure image tracing functionality. In just one click you have the program doing all of the work to develop the vector drawing that you need to move forward.
As I said the manual for this is a bit cumbersome, but there are definite parts that I found to be more helpful than others. All-in-all though it does take some time to master the controls and the skills needed to be successful in this type of program, and I found this out the hard way as I slogged through my initial learning within the program.
If you are like me and have a passion for drawing comics, this is a program that will definitely blow you away!

|Nice product and a great gift,
I got this for my 13-year old son as a Christmas gift. My son has been interested in animation and has been doing stop motion animation for a while. While the learning curve is pretty steep, he loves the software and is already creating short animation clips. It does take a time to learn, and of course, the animation is only as good as the input (artwork), but the tools for animating your art are pretty impressive. Overall, we are pleased with the product and would recommend it to aspiring animators; just be ready to sit down and really study it for awhile to get the most out of it.

|AWESOME ANIMATION SOFTWARE,
This is an awesome animation software program, the other reviewers said they don’t know how to use the software since they had not invested the time to test and learn to use it, this latest version allows the user to import PSD Layers made in Photoshop or Painter into ASP9 and position them in a 3D scene changing the Z parameters with the Layer Tool, just make a scene with an Animation and a background and insert it into a Bone or Group Layer, insert multiple Bone or Group Layers with scenes into a Switch Layer to make multiple scene clips that can be made into one long Movie if you like, the same technique can be used for Onion Skin Animation, putting multiple Drawings into a Switch layer and advancing the Timeline marker and selecting what Drawing or Image you want to appear onscreen for the number of frames you select, the Drawings Tools have been greatly improved from previous versions, Drawings are made by click and drag or using a Pen Tablet, click and Drag is best, art skill and a good knowledge of Animation are very important to make quality Animation, everything you need to make great Animation Movies with Lip Sync and Effects is here, if you do this for a hobby there’s a lot of ready made material that comes with the software, ready made stuff is great for testing, if you are a professional you can use your Art Illustration knowledge to test the software until you can make Drawings the way you like, you can make far better Artwork than the ready made stuff that comes with the software. I recommend if you are a professional and don’t have the money to buy Toon Boom Animate Pro, I also recommend Toon Boom Studio but it costs more but overall ASP9 is great.
