Tinkering with AnimeStudio

So, after messing around with some Anime Studio [Pro 9], and some yapping back&forth on twitter with the always great Lar de Souza, there was a mention[my fault entirely] of Bacon Shark.

With the Octo-shark Vs. Vegemite Girl and Sharktopus and Shark-valanche and Sharknado and Shark-in-your-eye and all the other aspiring B-movies... hellllllllo BaconShark.

Music scored by John Williams and performed by The John Williams Orchestra.

And yeah.. animating water coherently and believably is kind of a pain!

So here's an hour's worth of goofing around in AnimeStudio.
Exported to AVI, then converted to MP4 in Any Video Converter. Dropped from a 110mb file to 11mb file.





Okay, so after watching it here... WOW... issues!
There was loss of layer order...and some animation I never did [like the shark turning in the middle of the stage].  I also have no idea why the water & sky keep changing colour.. they were supposed to fade to black in the last 10 frames of animation. Issues, issues. Stuff to figure out.

So, obviously, converting the file may have done something, like losing frames, or I may have exported it incorrectly or something.

Still.. for only going on what I can figure out with the program, not too bad...
but definitely not good. Think I'll stick with the drawing and colouring thing for now until I can beef-up my chops with this program.
