Frequently Asked Questions

Can I download the animations? No, we only offer them on DVD-R disks.  Our animations are uncompressed to give you the highest quality.  This results is very large file sizes.  Each volume of animations is anywhere from 4 to 16 gigabytes, requiring 1 to 4 DVDs.  Downloading this amount of data would not only take several hours (depending upon your internet connection), but would require a huge bandwidth allocation.  We offer over 3000 animations and we would need several terabytes of online hard disk storage to make them available as a download.

Can I buy just 1 or 2 animations or do I have to purchase the whole package? Animations are ONLY sold as a complete package. We have them priced low enough to make the affordable to everyone. In addition, we just don't have the time or man power to burn a custom disk for someone with just 1 or 2 animations. We hope you understand.

What Type of Disk are They Provided On:   Industry Standard DVD-R

Can I Play the Animation DVD's directly in my DVD player that is connected to my TV?  No, they are not playable in a regular DVD player that you use to watch DVD's on your home TV.  The files on the DVD's are for use in video editing packages.

A word about the online demos:
All demos are small, short, samples of each animations.  Demos are low resolution and are NOT full size. Demos are watermarked with the words "Studio 1 Productions" across them. This will NOT appear on the version you purchase.

Can the animations be used on a website? Yes, HOWEVER - You must understand that these animations are intended for use in video productions, film productions and for TV. Since the animation come in a resolution and screen size for video and film productions, YOU will need to convert them to a smaller size and to the format you need for your website.  We do not provide any support on how to do this or on how to use them with your web site.

We have a large list of clients, including ABC, ESPN, Fox, NASA, CBS, PBS and many other TV stations, videographers and in-house corporate video departments. Our animations are fully broadcast quality and are designed for video production, film production and TV productions.

I have a Casablanca Editing System, can I use your animations? Yes, you will need the Disk Transfer software, if you don't already have it, for your Casablanca Editing System. Then you will use the Disk Transfer Software to load the AVI format animations.

Don't all animations come pre-rendered? Animations from Studio 1 Productions are pre-rendered. Not all companies provide them this way. With some companies once you get the animation you need to put it on your time line and render it to the format you are using. This can be very time consuming, that is why we provide them pre-rendered in AVI and QuickTime format. So all you have to do is import them into your editing software and drop them on the time line and you are done.

How do I use the animations in my editing software? Do to the large number of programs on the market for editing, we recommend you contact the tech support people for the software you are using. Generally, if you look in the manual for the software or a book on how to use the software, you will find information on importing or opening the animation file with your software.

What Is Your Refund Policy On Animations?
We have provided demos for each animation online. There are NO refunds on animations (or music, software and stock footage) since they can be copied to a hard drive and still used in a production after the masters have been returned. This is why we provide online demos. Defective items will items will be exchanged for the EXACT same item. There are NO exceptions to this policy.
