How to Add Animated 2D Character, VFX with Live Video for Video Animation Maker | Cartoon Animator 4
Cartoon Animator 4 Free Trial: https://www.reallusion.com/cartoon-animator/download.html
From version 4.5, Cartoon Animator supports both transparent video (MOV) and image sequence (PNG) export, while providing useful features such as exporting selected items for fast video compositing, Fit-to-Object-Size output for optimized video editing, and much more. This update allows video makers to easily add visual effects to animated items, along with compositing 2D animation with video on all major video editors.
In this tutorial, Declan will show you how he used CTA 4.5 to easily export 2D animated characters and visual effects as transparent video (.mov) to After Effects so that he could composite them with live action video clips and the benefits of Smart IK Motion Editor which can auto-switch invisibly so 2D character posing for animation is a fluid, and logical process.
