At our school I often find that more and more of our fellow pupils use pivot as their primary animation software, but do not be deceived by the propaganda that's out there it is one of the worst if not the worst animator soft wares that are there on current retail market. I seen many people use it i even tried it my self although some people may find it fun to play with and it is easy to get a hang of, but it is just crap; in the sense of the animation quality and the creativity you can create. It is the most limited software that there is. None the animators should ever use it for animations. Instead use a very cool useful, creative software called Flash- I have used it a lot and I just admire it for the functions it has to offer. and how easy it is to use you can animate with flash about 35% faster than pivot. Also filing saving in pivot is limited to .gif files and .piv(pivot) files.

I understand that the point of pivot to create stick fighting but even for that is does not manage the task it was designed for the design quality and edibility of the animation is very limited and you cannot add as many special effects. So in a nutshell Never NEVER EVER use Pivot instead us a better quality soft wares like flash. Overall rating: 2/10. Judge for yourselves get a demo version try it out an you'll see what I'm on about. Damian Gaslawski...signing off.
