I see several examples of CTA characters doing little loopable animations in Cloud Animator. How would I create my own characters and motions and import into Cloud Animator?

I answered my own question on this. I see that you export from CTA into a gif format and import it as an image.

Hi , IAMATTAMAI

You can go to CTA3 and follow the steps as following images


And go to Cloud Animator, Press "Ctrl + V". The GIF will automatically apply to the stage, and upload to the content manager.

I don't see a capture to Cloud Animator in the Mac version. Latest 3.21 Pipeline version.

Hi, hyteckit, 
Now the "Capture for Cloud Animator" function is only support to CTA 3.21 PC version.
However, you may try the other function, "Render Image" as followings.
1. Go the the Render> render Image


2. Select the Format to GIF". And then, select the "Sequence."
You also can setup the render size at the "Frame Size." Besides you may setup the "Export Range".
You may check the "Transparent" box if necessary!
 

3. Click the "Export", and then select the save file folder, and naming the Gif. 
Click the "Save"


4. Just go the save forlder, and then drag and drop the GIF file to the Cloud Animator.
The GIF will automatically apply to the Scene and upload to the custom image.


You may try the tutorial, if yiu still have question, please let us know anytime^^

I really love the Cloud Animator and learning that I could integrate it with animations made from CTA ...

I just tried it, using the tutorial above,  it was simple enough to do,  but got a 'to large message" and learned that there is a 3MB limit for the import. 

My question is, So where do I wanna be in my frames/timing to stay under the 3 MB?  

Thanks for any help!  Great job of the Cloud Animator you guys!

I think it will be my new go to....looking forward to signing up for a business account.

Hi thesestars, 

Glad to hear from you, and thank you for enjoy Cloud Animator. 

I think that your question is that how can you know the GIF size if you create it by the CTA3. 
And you would like to know the GIF size info in the CTA3 timeline, and stay under the 3 MB.
If so, we have not provided these function yet. However, you may export the GIF by the Render->Render Image, and then you can know the actual GIF image size.

We hope that you will have fun and enjoy it~
By the way, we will have a Cloud Animator webinar, and probably will be happened in summer. 
Hoping that you can sign up the webinar later, and you may know some small tips in that!!

Best Wishes
