Transparent Footage for Video Compositing

Make animated videos with animated characters and real video footage.

Cartoon Animator (CTA) is a 2D animation software that users can use to freely group animated elements and export them into transparent footage (.MOV). Along with its extensive library of full-rigged characters and motions, CTA enables video editors to easily create their own animations, without prior experience in animation or graphic design. Start compositing 2D animations with your videos!

2D CHARACTERS IN LIVE ACTION FOOTAGE

Mixing animated characters with real video footage results in creative virtual reality compositing. Create 2D animations with vivid facial expressions, smooth body motions and 360 head in Cartoon Animator. Then add lighting, shadows, motion tracking, camera effects, and color correction in video editors.
