Installing the plugin was incredibly simple, so, thats a good start  

A couple of things I've found so far are:

1: Rendering out via the plugin takes a lot longer than if you were going to render a png sequence without the plugin - the sequence took nearly an hour?

2: When rendering out via the plugin, I've noticed a couple of gremlins with the render, one of the characters slides around, and the eyes go a bit strange.

3: Also, for some reason, when rendering out via the plugin, the characters import into AE slightly squashed - I can fix this manually, no problem - however, its a little strange - I can look into my AE settings to see if anything is wrong with the way AE is set up?

I've rendered out a little sequence - its not a final sequence (and I need to fix the directions of the eyes, this was really just a quick render to see how it talks to After Effects, so, don't worry, I will do MUCH better tests and renders, this is just something to get the ball rolling.

Overall though, apart from the few little things I've noticed on this quick test, I think its great, I love the way each character renders out as a separate image sequence, that will really help when working in After Effects as you can reposition the characters if needed.

I will do more tests in the morning

1: Create the character in Photoshop using your psd templates as a guide for rigging.
2: Import into CA4

3: Set up the head turns in CA4 composer (love this, so simple to use)

4: Animate in CA4

5: Export as a png sequence - transparent background

6: Import in AE as a png sequence 
7: Comp the scene in AE + Add motion blur before rendering

What I can see from your plugin, and what I LOVE, and I genuinely mean that, is that if you animate characters interacting you can export them at the same time as separate image sequences. before I would render the whole scene as a png sequence, but having the characters as separate sequences from the same scene means I can reposition in AE if needed, a HUGE bonus, and this alone, for me, is brilliant.

Re export times, not using the plugin, it only takes a few seconds (less than 30) to export this sequence - with the plugin it takes just under an hour - which, to be honest, is fine, however, I would have thought that as there are 2 characters, it may only take a few minutes, as, its really rendering out 2 character image sequences, so, I'm not sure why its taking so long with the plugin, its maybe a bug, or, maybe something wrong with my set-up?

However, to import the project into AE only takes a couple of seconds, which is great.

To be honest, the only real issues I've found so far, and I'm sure your tech team will be able to fix these are:

1: The sliding of the character - really weird, I'm not sure why its doing that

2: The render time - I would have thought it would only take a couple of minutes (I don't mind waiting whatever it takes to be honest, I just know some people may moan about this)

3: The project when imported into AE is a little squashed (easy to stretch out though).

I'm more than happy to share the project - the animation itself isn't great, so don't judge me on this - its only something to test the plugin out on at the moment.

I'm away from my work machine at the moment, but I will share the project in a couple of hours  

In short though, the plugin does work, and thats the main thing (and why you have a beta group to iron out all the little gremlins)

I'm going to work on a proper sequence (with different/better characters next week) - and I will keep you all updated throughout the week.

have a lovely weekend all,
Chris
