Yes, it is Anime Studio 6.

-Eric

I’ve tried the trial version, but found it hard to use. I was also new to animation, so that was a big problem.

Here’s my recommendation: If you’ve never done animation, download a free program like Creatoon to get started. Once you’ve become familiar with the basics of interpolation and timeline stuff, then move on to another program like Toon Boom. I would either try the Toon Boom trial or, if I could afford it, would spend the $30 or so on Anime Studio Debut 6. TB and ASD6 are both vector based programs which are different from Creatoon. It’s a whole ‘nother ballgame, and there’s no sense wasting precious “Free Trial Time” on learning the basics and not actually getting to enjoy the end results of the program. I believe their trial is 90 days.

Toon Boom has made changes since I tried it last. They did away with bones and went to something more like Creatoon uses. I wish I could compare the products better for you, but that’s the best I can do.

I hope that helps.

Help!
