This tutorial covers the Animated Layer Order feature and creating actions that change layer order. It deals specifically with the keys that are generated and how to avoid changing the order of the main time line after creating an action with reordered layers.

This tutorial shows how to use the Blend Morphs feature in Anime Studio 6 to mix together multiple 1 frame actions and insert them into the time line or into new actions.

This tutorial will show you have to create long chains of bones that can be controlled more easily using a smaller set of control bones. This technique is good for tails, tentacles, rubbery arms, etc. It demonstrates the use of the bone angle constraint. 

This tutorial demonstrates a technique I call compound bones. Bones can have a constraint that targets another bone for rotation or position but only one bone can be used for the target. By using the technique described in this tutorial you can create any number of "target" bones to control the position of points of layers in a bone layer.
