Frequently Asked Questions
about our Royalty Free Animations

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:
1. All demos are low resolution and are NOT full size. This greatly reduces quality and the demo size to allow for faster download times.
3. All demos are only at 15 fps, not the full 29.97 fps that the animations come in. This allows for faster download times of the demo.
4. All demos are watermarked with the words "Studio 1 Productions" across them. This will NOT appear on the version you purchase.

Who is using Studio 1 Productions animations? 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.

Are the animations I buy from Studio 1 Productions full resolution and full size? Absolutely. Animations are full resolution of 720 x 480 at 29.97fps and broadcast quality. They are for film and video use.

Are all the animations loopable? Almost all of the animations are loopable. All of the animations that are labeled "loopable" will allow you to loop them seamlessly. There are a handful that are not labeled loopable, but have a very long runtime.

Can I buy just 1 or 2 animations or do I have to purchase the whole package? We only sell them 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.

Can I download the animations? At this time we are ONLY offering World Flags as a download. Other animation packages are too large to download.

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 yourself. You MAY need to convert them to a .wmv format, depending upon your needs. We recommend you consult someone with web design experience as we do not provide any support on how to do this or on how to use them with your web site.

I have a Casablanca Editing System, can I use your animations? Yes, you will need the Disk Transfer software and you will need to order the disk version of the animations. The downloads are ONLY in QuickTime format. Then you will use the Disk Transfer Software to load the AVI format animations.

Don't all animations come pre-rendered? All of the ones 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. So all you have to do is import them into your editing software and drop them on the time line and you are done.

Why don't we show a full resolution demo of the clips? Well, it would take a long time to download just 1 clip to demo it. Some clips are as much as 500 megs in size, thus taking several hours to demo 1 clip. Therefore, all demos are reduced size and at a lower resolution and only 15 frames per second. This allow for the previews to load much faster.

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.
