Has anyone tried dragging an mp4 for use as a background. I tried and ca5 asks for a codec I can't find.

Here works, think you need a codec for your computer. Try this one

Hi Ems,

Cartoon Animator 5 doesn't accept MP4 files.  There are free file converters online.  Files must be changed to .WMV format.  I also suggest keeping file sizes as small as possible for better productivity with the software. 

have a great weekend.
