What's the benefits of this software compared to using the silhouette studio?

I've never used Silhouette personally. This software is tailored for the beginner with some advanced components. But it's not the most intuitive software to use. You can find decent tutorials but sometimes not help with exactly what you want to do. More often then not i produce what i want in photoshop and import.

Oh yes. You will notice the difference in a heartbeat. Forget photographic work... Even outlook and other desktop applications are washed out

You can just about any image scanned or any Google search images. Great machine you won't be disappointed. Go to youtube and look for "cricflix" channel great teacher for new silhouette users.

This software creates 2 types of files: DST and PPL. If your machine can read one of those, or you can convert from them to ART, then this may be helpful. My machine uses PES files. I can create new designs, or add to / delete from existing designs with this software, but I haven't figured out how to import a picture and create a pattern from it yet. I think the lines have to be redrawn, and I'm not good at that yet.

Never used it so I can't answer. I know it's a $150-$170 software if you buy it individually. See if you can download the trial and give it a try.

There are two ways that you can "print and cut". One is by using a special new mat called the PixScan that is available for it, and an app that goes with it on your phone. With that you can cut around anything...it doesn't have to be something you printed from the Silhouette software. It can be a stamped image, or handwriting, or whatever. The other way is by creating the file in Silhouette's Design Studio software and then adding registration marks to your document before printing it. The machine reads these to orient itself on the paper when you feed the paper into the Portrait to cut.

I highly recommend Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. It is the easiest program to pick up. The tools and interface are a snap to learn. I've had the 2012 edition and currently have the 6th edition and they just keep getting better. All the brushes, pens, pencils just look more natural. Plus it's cheap compared to photoshop and adobe illustrator. I believe I paid 40$ each for both versions. They just came out with the 7th wich I am planning to upgrade soon. Go on youtube and watch what people can do with this program. It's amazing and beautiful. You will instantly want to buy it as soon as you finish the video.

As far I know, it should work pretty well, however GIMP is a free alternative that works fast and has as many features.

Possibly, Dragon Frame is very good a but rather complex. You could get the similar effect with Stop motion Pro which is easier to use but a bit more pedestrian.

yes but you must change it to svg through the silhouette program and you must have silhouette's studio designer edition.

I don't think you're going to get the fine-tuning of Final Cut. I like Ulead VideoStudio for its ease of use, but it doesn't at all compare to Final Cut. (No, you can't leave gaps in the timeline, and I don't think you can use the arrow key to go frame by frame either.)

Every machine is different, and it depends on what you're cutting. Check out silhouette for beginners on FB they're super helpful.

Can't say fr personal experience but what I use it for os similar and should do great. Very wide range of line size from pencil line to large shading.

I'm now using Edius and it's the finest video editor I've seen. It far exceeds Final Cut Pro or Adobe Pro in price and I don't suppose they could perform any better, especially not on my pc. I even tried it on my laptop and it works fine, the render time is longer though.

I didn't find any difference. I am using it and it is a little different from my friends full version, but nothing that I can decipher that makes a major difference in how to use the tools or publish. I hope that helps. I am using my version in a non profit and it works for how we utilize the program.
