Chapter Summary

This chapter covered the various options for importing content into Anime Studio. Using the File, Import menu, you can import a variety of files, including images, movies, Illustrator files, and 3D objects. There is also a script for converting Photoshop files (including layers) into .ANME files. The File, Import, Image option can import several different formats, including JPEG, BMP, PNG, Targa, and GIF, and movie import options include AVI and QuickTime (MOV). This chapter also introduced the Content Paradise Web site as a new source for browsing, purchasing, and downloading content. Once unzipped, the downloaded content can be used directly within Anime Studio using the File, Open menu command.

This chapter concludes Part II covering how to get a handle on the ready-to-use content. In Part III, we’ll dive into the drawing tools and vector layers and actually get some content in the main window to play with.
