<p>Toon Boom Studio V3 is Released</p>
<p>Montreal (July 6, 2005) - Toon Boom Animation announced today the release<br />
of Toon Boom Studio V3. Toon Boom Studio V3 has a number of new and<br />
enhanced features - including the new Text and Transform tools, as well as<br />
improvements to lip synching - that make it easy for you to create cut-out<br />
animation.</p>
<p>Toon Boom Studio V3 is a great tool for playing with cut-outs: it includes<br />
a number of tools that simplify this animation style:</p>
<p>* The New Free Transform tool enables users to apply any combinations of<br />
scaling, rotation, skewing to animate faster</p>
<p>* Users can also add text for effective communication in web presentations,<br />
comic strips and more</p>
<p>* Automated lip sync tools allow fast sound track synchronization</p>
<p>* Improved sound scrubbing enables accurate adjustments to the lip<br />
synchronization</p>
<p>* Users can animate with key frames and use interpolation to create<br />
animation faster</p>
<p>* The library enables users to save drawings, animation cycles and motions<br />
for reuse</p>
<p>* The time line makes it easy to organize layers, set the timing and attach<br />
motion paths to elements</p>
<p>* Cell-swapping and templates add even more speed to cartoon creation</p>
<p>* Users can easily create dollys, trucks, zooms, and other eye-catching<br />
camera moves, with the 3D space and camera</p>
<p>In addition, Toon Boom Studio V3 offers a simplified user interface as the<br />
Drawing and Sceneplanning modes are now one.</p>
<p>Toon Boom will be showcasing Toon Boom Studio V3 at Flashforward New York,<br />
from July 6th to 8th, 2005. A Technology Showcase titled What will you<br />
animate now? will be held on July 7th, at 11:30 am in the Sutton Place, at<br />
the New Yorker Hotel.</p>
<p>All orders that require shipping will be done during the month of July. All<br />
