Anime Studio and Adobe Flash are both modern programs used for
animation. Though they have
similarities, that both are also quite different.
Adobe Flash is a program that is produced by, you guessed
it, Adobe. Flash has been around for
almost 2 decades now, though it has been used over several different names. Flash
can be used to create vector graphics, animation, games and apps, so it a very
useful multimedia program.
Anime Studio is a program that has had several different
distributors with the latest being Smith Micro.
It is purely an animation software.
It appears that both programs use vector images with some
abilities to use raster images also. The
biggest difference between the 2 programs though is the process that the use to
animate. Adobe Flash uses frame by frame
which is in conjunction with the “traditional” form of animation, which were
cells. Anime Studio on the other hand
allows you to use bone, which in turn allows you to move parts of an object and
not actually drawing out each new image to animate.
Adobe Flash was an industry standard for use and is still
considered the professional program, being used to create some well know shows
such as Danny Phantom, Happy Tree Friends, Total Drama, and a few others. One of the
drawbacks of using Flash though would be that it is known to be a bit difficult
and hard to use.
Anime Studio on the other hand is beginning to get more
credit as a program and is improving to the point that some prefer it to using
Flash. It is getting credit as a great beginners
program because of its functionality and the fact that it uses bones instead of
frame-by-frame.
I am still looking into more information on these programs
to figure out which would be the best for me to use. To I want to use the
easier, beginners program that I have already learned the basics too; or should
I teach myself the more difficult but “professional” program so I know it for
the future.
