A brand new motion design and animation application. By motion designers for motion designers. Cavalry is for Motion Design, Generative Art, Character Animation, Data Visualisation, FUI and much more.
What would you say are the main advantages compare to After Effects? I understand that it was narrowed down to motion animation only, but would love to hear what you think:)

@noskovvkirill As a motion designer having used Cavalry for a while now, I have to say it opens up your animations to experimentation far more. Procedural workflows mean I end up in places I would never have got to otherwise.
It's rare I do any traditional animation in Ae now much preferring to deffur to Cavalry. The Ui is much cleaner and looks less cluttered (say goodbye to precomping to tidy up). It’s a bit of a learning curve to approach animation the way Cavalry wants you to, but it’s worth it.
The basic and fundamental techniques of animating easily transfer across to Cavalry from Ae or whatever software you did use before, so if you’re coming from 3D or 2D the workflows can be quite similar.
Out of the box, Cavalry is like Ae on steroids (for 2d animation at least) and they’re constantly adding and improving it.
@dominic_brooks Thanks for such a detailed answer! You got me. I guess it worth trying out. I wish the makers would describe more details on the main page because the "elevator pitch" kind of message is a little bit unclear to me. "Say goodbye to precomping to tidy up" in your message was convincing.
Congratulations @adam_jenns on the launch. Nice work on the product.
What was your inspiration behind building the product?
I found the product quite useful. However, the signup flow was not smooth. I would improve it with proper steps. For eg., you need to create a user first before downloading the app.
@nutpanda the free version has no quantity limit but has a size limit of 960x540px and small watermark. Paid version has no limitations. Take a look at our instagram when you have a minute. https://www.instagram.com/cavalr...
great tool! especially with the free plan, I can try it before I buy! :) Good luck!!!
I'm working on an animation tool too. soon to be launched for beta users. :)

Hi. This looks interesting, but you need more information in the documentation. For instance, I can't find information about what file types are allowed, whether I can use my CC fonts in your system, or information about exporting options. APNG? Transparent? This sort of information would influence my decisions. Please add that information to your site.
