Hi,
I am new to both Cartoon animator (Pipeline) software as well as this forum.
I am still in a state of confusion as what works and what doesn't with CTA 4.
A few quick queries:
1. Is breaking a character into so called sprite is the only way to animate it? Is there any other easier way to animate an image in a picture (not a standalone png image)?
2. If sprite is the only answer, do I need to have artistic skills to make them?
3. Why importing a MP4 file is not straightforward in CTA 4? It always gives me codec error message. I don't want to convert everything into larger AVI files if possible.
I will be grateful if someone directs me to youtube clips (if any) that has/have very succinct answers to above queries. I tried looking for ones myself, but ended up with myriads of them and didn't know which ones are really worth watching.
cheers
