Using the scanner option, the programme will scan in a preset number of images (either drawn or cut-out figures manipulated on the scanner surface), save them to the hard-drive and record them in the on-screen dopesheet which can then be edited and re-arranged as much as the operator wishes. Using the camera option you don`t need to pre-set a number, just click as required. There are 7 levels of animation which can be viewed in motion seperately by selecting an individual level or the levels can be merged and viewed as a composite at the click of a button (or two). Scanned images can be rotated automatically, if required, either clockwise or anticlockwise. Playback speed is adjustable with frame rates of 8, 12, 15, 24, 25 and 30 frames per second. Individual cels can be duplicated, deleted, replaced with blanks or other cels, renamed and coloured to make a final, finished animation project which can be converted into an AVI complete with soundtrack. The Dope Sheet and Project settings can be saved for future reference.
