It’s always very gratifying to get positive feedback on our software. But when it comes unannounced and without request for a review it is especially welcome. Diana Adams of BitRebels recently reviewed our software out of the blue. Diana and her son tested the software and were very pleased with it. Diana commented on the user friendly nature of the interface which is something we paid special attention to in our development to ensure it was attractive. She also picked up on the uniqueness of our sounds.

And I quote ..

“This software comes with a database of thousands of sounds to choose from and mood music (or you can add your own sounds). These are cool sounds too, like burps, coughs, claps, sneezes, whistles, heartbeats, footsteps etc… like I said, thousands of very crisp, distinctive sounds! I spent about fifteen minutes just flipping through and listening to the different sounds.”

Animateclay also reviewed our stop motion software recenlty. Don Carlson reviewed the software from a younger animators perspective and again had praise for its user friendly interface. Don made one good suggestion and that was to do with shortcut keys. For example “enter key” to playback , arrow key for rewind etc. as an alternative to using the mouse all the time for interface control. We take this on board and will definitely incorporate these shortcut key suggestions. Currently you can use the spacebar to capture images/ snaps, but perhaps a rewind, fast forward key etc. may be useful for stop motion animator also. Don gave us a B+ !  Wish I got as good when back in school right ! lol. Thanks to Diana and Don.
