Hi! Is there a way in Cavalry to group scenes like how you pre-comp in AE? or it's just that, "groups"?

Great tutorial. Currently, the squash effect and control center are only available in Pro. Pro is a subscription-based model, which unfortunately is one of the big reasons I have for avoiding Adobe and would prefer an alternative like Calgary :(
@nicktheritter4 ай бұрын
Totally understandable. I thought that too. After affinity’s sale to Canva, I feel less anti-subscription and more anti-big-tech-taking-advantage-of-me. The people behind Cavalry are nowhere near big tech and the community that’s built up around it is pretty fantastic. But hey, to each their own. I’m glad this could be helpful to you anyway.

Would you use this program also as the 'main' video editor? So bringing a blender amimation, voice over and animated vectors together into one video?
@nicktheritter6 ай бұрын
Not quite yet. I'd recommend Resolve for that. Cavalry doesn't handle EXRs too consistently. Color spaces are totally fleshed out, and many sound features are still in beta. Honestly, I don't like using AE for online/finishing editing either. IMO, that step is best done in a video editor like Resolve, Final Cut or Premiere.

Advice to others: If your number range is going from 120 to 50 instead of 50 to 120 when rotating, you need to edit the number range graph and flip it horizontally. I'm fairly certain that this was done but edited out of the video by accident or otherwise overlooked.
