What’s new in Cavalry 2.0?
This article on Cavalry 2.0 just shows me I really do need to dive in and learn Cavalry as it looks so fast and powerful.
And here is a second article on smaller new features in the update.
Smarter ways to work with Text in Cavalry
Chris Hardcastle at Cavalry has this article on smarter ways to work with Text in Cavalry.
I really do need to start learning Cavalry, it seems like the real re-write of After Effects so many people are asking for.
Cavalry updates it’s Free license to allow High Def before the release of version 1.2
Now it is time for me to give Cavalry a try, with the update to remove the Watermark and increasing resolution to 1920×1080 for the free version. Of course some features will now be behind the paywall, like Forge Dynamics, Dynamic Rendering, Lottie Exports, Google Sheets Asset, Control Center, Command Line Interface, and all Beta Features.
New Features coming in Cavalry 1.2 Motion Graphics and Animation Program
Chris Hardcastle at Cavalry has posted about what is coming in version 1.2 which will be out soon.
New features include Forge Dynamics with Collision events like visibility and colour.
Improvements in Text which include a preview of Style Behaviors with procedurally styling text.
Enhanced Drawings tools with Bezier manipulation and a stabilizer mode for pencil to automatically smooth curves.
And a bunch of other new stuff.
I really do need to give Cavalry a try. It looks really powerful for motion graphics, though it will never have the integration with Premiere that After Effects has. Still want to give it a try.
Animation program Cavalry has been updated to version 1.1
Cavalry the new 2D animation software has been updated to version 1.1. You can check out the announcement here. The most exciting is the text features which are already supposed to be better than any other program out there, but it’s versions 2.0 should be really impressive.
I have barely played with the subscription based Cavalry, but it does seem pretty easy to understand and use for someone who has used After Effects at least. You can try it for Free at limited resolution with watermarked output, but its $20 pounds or month or 16 Pounds if you do a yearly.
There are quite a few videos to get you started with the app. I really do need to delve into it, because it seems like they were trying to make a modern After Effects, and especially when the new font tool is out this should be well worth checking out.
