Hello everyone,  

I am still on the trial and I have a few questions before purchase.  I will be using the software to create website graphics, animated logos/text, and infographics in video form.  I also might use it for explainer/tutorial videos from time to time.

I don't need anything complex for animations.  I have tried a variety of cloud solutions such as Animator and Vyond.  I usually stick with Adobe because cloud animators and video creation software is more expensive and they have less features.  For example, Vyond charges $89 a month but I can get the full Adobe Creative Suite for $79.49 a month.

  1. Black Friday/Cyber Monday is around the corner.  I don't need to use the program immediately.  My free trial will expire close to this time.  Should I wait to see if there will be a discount to purchase or should I purchase now?
  2. Is there a comparison that compares CTA4 to the Adobe Suite?  I know Cartoon Animator 4 is less expensive than Adobe because I don't have to pay the monthly fee.  About 4 months of Adobe will pay for Cartoon Animator.  The workflow still seems like I still need to use the Adobe suite.  There are no alternatives to After Effects or Character Animator.
  3. Is Cartoon Animator 5 coming out soon?  I am afraid if I buy now, Cartoon Animator 5 will be released at the beginning of next year.  I will have to repurchase again.
  4. I don't like the folder structure in the program  I prefer the way it is in Adobe where I can see big pictures of the characters and the actions.  Plus there is a search.  Is this available in the paid version?
  5. Is there a way to add multiple scenes into a single project?
