The highlight for this week was the release of three new Anime Studio tutorials detailing the enhancements in the new version 8. I recently obtained a copy of Anime Studio Pro 8 through the generosity of Smith Micro. So, I’d like to publicly thank their staff for their kindness as well as releasing such an awesome product.
