I've been using Knobman for several years now, and more recently WebKnobman- due to OSX compatibility issues with the standalone app. This is a great program and web app, but as my clients needs and design ideas have expanded, I have run into some limitations with it.

About a year ago, I started creating knobs in After Effects & Illustrator, and then using various texture packers and filmstrip compilers such as StripGenerator from WavesFactory. This can be tedious at times, with mixed results.

I wanted to find out what everyone else is using or if anyone had alternative methods for knob and slider creation. Also, besides nomenclature, is there difference between "sprite sheets" and "filmstrips". Are they interchangeable terms?

As always, your comments and recommendations are greatly appreciated.
