2. Exploring the Anime Studio Interface

• Learning the interface elements

• Interacting with the interface

• Using keyboard shortcuts

• Hiding and viewing interface windows

• Rearranging the interface

Before you can use Anime Studio effectively, you need to learn to use its interface. The Anime Studio interface is composed of a series of docked palettes. These individual palettes can be undocked and moved around the interface to where you need them to be. It feels a lot like an Adobe product in that it has plenty of palettes and windows. If you’re familiar with any of the Adobe products, then you should feel right at home with the Anime Studio interface. But even if you are comfortable with the interface, there are some “under the hood” details that will help you use the software even more efficiently if you take the time to learn them.
