What's New in Version 4.30.2305

Add Smart Export to After Effects (Beta)
This feature lets users export image sequences and JSON files of the scene and character. With AE Script for Cartoon Animator, you can easily import your animation work processed in CTA to After Effects for further post-production.

It exports CTA objects as image sequences and stores them in their dedicated folders, and generates an additional JSON file that keeps the camera and object data which can later be used to reconstruct the identical timeline tracks in AE.

Add Render Object Sequence
Besides After Effects, for users who use other video editing tools, we provide another way for you to load CTA animation work to external video editing tools. "Render Object Sequence (Beta)" allows you to export layered/separated image sequences with transparent background for you to effortlessly choose whichever object of the sequence and import to your video editing tool for further post production.
