Book Reviews of Anime Studio: The Official Guide

Book Review: It's what you need to know
Summary: 4 Stars

Good manuals are hard to find. This one is good. Not only clear explanations, but a CD with all the files you need to do the exercises and the final files to see how various functions are built.

I did a video course for Anime Studio Pro, and it helped get me up to speed rapidly. This manual fills all the little gaps where I still had questions.

If you use Anime Studio Pro, I'd suggest you get this manual. I recommend it.
