The program was considered to be groundbreaking in the field of computer animation when it was initially released, and was very popular in the late 1980s and the early 1990s. Eventually development on the product ended and it became no longer supported by Autodesk.
Animator gave the ability to do frame-by-frame animation (creating each frame as an individual picture, much like traditional cel animation). Animator Studio also had tweening features (transforming one shape into another by letting the computer draw each in-between shape onto a separate frame).
Animator and Animator Pro supported FLI and FLC animation file formats. Animator Studio also supported AVI format.
From the continuously-running Egghead Software store demotape, circa 1990.

Evil Dead - 1994 DOS Animation Autodesk Animator Pro
In 1994 I made this cartoon adaptation of the movie EVIL DEAD. The process involved using Autodesk Animator Pro, in DOS, connecting a tape cassette player plus my computer to a VCR. A couple years later I entered this into a Chicago High School Film Contest and took first prize.

Autodesk Animator Demo Reel
Autodesk Animator demo reel from 1990. This was recorded from a videotape sent to Egghead Software stores to be played on a repeating loop as an advertisement for Autodesk Animator.
The video was run through a stabilizer (TBC) and had noise and levels corrected. The original stereo audio has also been preserved.

Navisworks for Demo & Construction: Timeliner & Animator
Navisworks is commonly used for model review and clash detection. What else can it do? This webcast will show how to illustrate the construction sequence of adding and removing model elements based on a schedule. The models used were authored with Autodesk Revit, Autodesk AutoCAD Plant 3D, and Autodesk Inventor.
What will be covered:
-Setting up Selection Sets and Viewpoints for use with the Timeliner
-Using the Timeliner to show demolition/removal equipment, then construction of new equipment
-Using the Animator with the Timeliner to include a fly-by in the sequence

Poser-Autodesk Animator Pro Test 1
I love the retro look of Autodesk's vintage DOS prog, Animator Pro. Who'd have known it would work so well with another venerable (but not nearly as old) animation program, Curious Labs' Poser 4?
For this brief clip I rendered a series of still images using Poser's toon option. P4's toon renderer is really lame. However its output is easy to dress up in Animator Pro. This sequence stars Edgar from the Pro Pack, animated using a BVH mocap file. The Animator movie was colored and composited in several passes. When you build videos in Animator Pro you MUST do sequential backups, because the program gives you one (count 'em, one) undo. Fail to back up and redo a lot of work!
