A decent tutorial manual

The Cartoon Animator reference manual and also the video tutorials are very good, but it would be nice to see a tutorial manual to get users started with all the main features and uses of Cartoon Animator 5. The Moho Tutorial Manual springs to mind as an excellent example. Unfortunately, I can't link it as it is installed on my PC.
Whilst I don't really want to do a comparison between the two software, as they both have their own merits, Cartoon Animator being much quicker in the creation process for one, I found it much easier to learn Moho because of the manual. Whereas with Cartoon Animator, whilst a process might be really quick and simple once you have learnt it, finding out where to learn it can be a pain in the butt.
Anyway, just a thought. :)

I agree.

Thanks for the feedback. I will pass this on to the CTA team.

I'm not sure if you are aware but we do have a Webinar taking place later today called "Start your first project with Cartoon Animator 5".

If you are interested, please see the page below for more information and to register.

Thanks for that Peter. The Webinars are very good, apart from the upselling, but as I found with Moho, a more structured approach works best with me. I've been using Cartoon Animator since Crazytalk Animator 3, through 4, and now on 5, about a year longer than I've been using Moho, but I still feel I know Moho better due to the Tutorial Manual, hence why I suggest it. :) Having said that, I think I am signed up for that Webinar. Lol.

I agree there should be a manual.

I find the whole process of rigging and taking to CTA5 from vector or even PSD files very cumbersome.

If I hadn't gotten the free tutorials of 2danimation101 with CTA5. I would have really struggled with learning CTA5.

The issue is every major software has a manual and CTA5 should have it too.
