First off let me clarify that my only experience in working with animation software is through the mini-free online apps and websites I use for my classroom on occasion. We chose the Anime Studio Pro 8 for our son (12 years old) to learn basic animation with some additional features and tools. He wants to be a video game designer when he grows up and from the reviews we read this would be a great starting point, but by no means a professional tool for selling your own games.

We selected Animae Studio Pro 8 because it was more user friendly than what a lot of other programs seemed to offer. There are a LOT of free tutorials online, through YouTube, and trouble shooting tips all over google’s search engine. He managed to pick up basics in just a few days and created a short in about a week. Overall he said it was cool, but he wanted more details and less work… seems to be consistent with the reviews in the past. I would say for the price, this is a good starting point for animators and those who think they would like to learn animation.
