In CA4 all characters are by default shown facing left. If you flip your character to face in the opposite direction (facing right) you will discover that all bone and face related features become reversed. Left becomes right and right becomes left. E.g. if you are in 2D Motion Key Editor,...More
Usually, when you want your character to move from one pose to another, you need to set the starting key (say, at frame 50) and the end key (say, at frame 80). Normally, for a single swimming lane you would have to click "V" to set the first keyframe, then move to the end frame and move your...More
When you need to modify a template animation, e.g. a cat sitting down, Remove Motion feature seems like a great idea. Problem is, removing it one by one the way it is today is a very tedious and obscure process. Obscure because 1) you are not always clear which part of the animation you need...More

Hi, I use Artrage as it's is one of the best handpainting apps out there and has full psd output/input . I use it for everything. CA4 'almost' already supports it but doesn't have the realtime hook up as i can see in your demo with the other apps (photoshop etc). It would be super amazing...More
