And you can’t specify point sizes: you enter text at a large size and then use the Scale tool to shrink it down to a more appropriate size. Rather than clicking on the Text tool and then on the text you want to edit, you select the Arrow tool, click on the text box you want to edit, and then select the Text tool. Some of Headline Studio’s text-manipulation tools are also frustrating. For example, each antialiased window casts a shadow on a textured background that fills the screen, and because there’s no way to turn off the background, you can’t see any other program’s windows while you’re working in Headline Studio.

Like other MetaCreations products, it doesn’t use the standard Mac interface. In general, working in Headline Studio takes some getting used to. Another drawback is that you can’t add more time to an animation at the beginning or end. Once you’ve created an object and animated it, it can be difficult to make changes without affecting the rest of the animation. That means you can view smooth transitions while you’re building your animations, before you decide how many frames to export based on the target size of the final GIF file.Īlthough Headline Studio’s lack of reliance on frame-by-frame animation gives you a degree of flexibility other products can’t match, it still pays to plot every step of your animation in advance. With Headline Studio, you don’t have to specify the number of frames in your animation until you save it as a GIF image. Other Web graphics tools support tweening, but those programs are frame-basedyou choose the number of frames you want in your animation and then specify an action to take place over the course of those frames.
