Studio quality animation software?

[necroreactor]

Hello newgrounds, I have found some animation software that has pulled my interests towards it. This software is called, "CACAni," and I don't think anyone has heard of it just yet. The software supposedly makes it easier to create studio quality animations and is only $300 dollars which I think is cheaper than flash but idk, i'll have to check again. Anyway, the capabilities of this software look amazing (to me) and I think it would be something I should save my milk money for.

If you don't believe me watch this example of what it can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H96pyjRPuOc
And here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEnx5T1jzmA

Here's the link to the product: https://cacani.sg/product/cacani/

Yeah, that introduction video is kind of retarded, but it gives a good example of what it can do and how useful it is.
Anyways, what do you guys think? should I give it a try? should you guys give it a try?... Let me know please!!!

"CACANi" does seem like it can be very useful in cutting down on time. But be careful in not relying on its auto-inbetweening capabilities way too much. Using them once in a while can help cut down on time, but you should definitely work on your actual animation skills. Developing your animation skills goes a long way in both the quality of the works you produced, as well as gives viewers a certain feel to your style. I would also advise you to not get too caught up in the quality of those example animations and let that influence your decision. After all, the ->main<- reason why the quality of those animations is so good is because of the amount of work that the animators using the program put into the project, and not because of the program itself. The best advice I can give is to test it out in the trial version and see if you like it. If you just buy it on a whim, you could end up spending money on a program that you may not like. Either way, I wish you the best of luck with your animations. :3.

That aside, I heard about "CACANi" from one of my friends on "DeviantArt." I checked it out and am interested in trying it out once a trial version becomes available for Macs. :3.

Thanks for the advice, I will try the trial first.
