CARTOON.TELEVISION.PROGRAM.PRO.V1.1R11                          

   + CTP is a PC compatible computer program specifically designed for   +
    broadcast quality animated series production. To run the CTP you    
     only need a standard PC, a simple scanner and any video input/output 
     board. 

     This program is of special interest to all cartoon freelancers and 
     producers, because it simplifies enormously their work flow: with a 
     simple click on their mouse, cartoonists will achieve what previously 
     took several hours. With the CTP, they can accomplish the entire 
     production process from start to end, and become in this way full 
     sequence producers. In the same way, production houses will be able 
     to work with many more external systems at the same time, but with 
     unified criteria, increasing their productivity which will result 
     in more income.

     CTP is definately the "new kid on the block" among traditional 
     animation software.  I've tried out most of the major and a few of
     the not so major packages available and I must say CTP holds its own
     very well for being in such an early stage of development.  The 
     interface is clean and well thought out, the tools all standard.  
     The terms used are all standard animation terms and its quick and 
     easy to learn.  It renders incredibly fast and accepts input from
     any Twain scanner!  Animators, don't miss out on this new package!
