Intro to Cavalry - A guide for motion designers who want to ditch After Effects

Are you a motion designer that's interested in checking out Cavalry, but find it hard to get started? Cavalry is more than just a tool to make weird digital art, and this quick intro will help you get started. The trick is to think in Systems and how to make something Dynamic, rather than just animating linearly. Start by putting a shape into a duplicator, see how connecting a color array changes things, slap an oscillator on an attribute.

the fact that you're this small a channel and yet your editing is so good and i'm genuinely so inspired by this is insane, this is some excellent stuff ♥

Cavalry needs more of this - we need this.

[AntonyNorthcutt]

Cavalry needs more content like this :)

[Cutsii]

You need to create a lot of this bro! Some of the people might not know this yet but imagine if they notice this! It can also grow this channel. I can suggest this good ideas that you can add up to your content.

Make an insane lyric video compare it to ae, Make a photo slide show that ae is using. Or check templates in AE that is possible to create on this software, and multiple motion graphics that content creators are using, or create a motion graphics for manga or animation! This will help a lot. We'll wait for that bro!

Few minutes back i was keyframing for oscillator effect in cavalry, now i know the easy way 😄

Really feels like this would benefit from being node based.

mending cavalry atau davinci resolve ya untuk mograph?

[kiddpenn]

Looks pretty cool! Would you be able to attach a video to the shapes in this program so it could have duplicates of that video flying around in 3D space? Or is there a better AE alternative for that?

[rootopiaa]

can i bring illustrations from illustrator and animate it in cavalry?

[DoubleSupercool]

Any way to visualise the connections, ala Nuke/Houdini/TouchDesigner etc?

[nedschi]

Thanks for the overview. I've seen some TouchDesigner videos. And it seems to be a great software. But also hard to learn. What would you say about the comparison between TouchDesigner and Cavalry?

[meta_inc]

Brother please make some tutorial like i wanna ads some charts like bar graph, pie charts and show some data in my videos so how can I use cavalry for this please help us

[helohalo]

I haven't tested it out yet but o man this seems like a life and TIME saver. would you say Cavalry can completely replace AE?

[ultracoolboy]

I'm trying to use the program and I just wish they had keyframes work the same way with after effects like just having to click the dot to add it instead of all this dragging

[shin-ishikiri-no]

Does Calvalry support video or image files on the project scene?

[helenxue]

Gona name all my layers "something good" now. 😆

Hi ELLIOT, good??? i exporte for MP4, and not possible, what the solution for this message ----> " failed to gl context "

[siyaram]

Hey Elliot,

Can we make videos like dan koe in it?

[udopiarecords]

Pacing of the video is a bit fast, try slowing it down just a tiny bit. Especially since its an informational sort of tutorial video. Other than that, very nice job, thank you.

i really love the software it's so powerful in motion graphics but why the pro version cost more than after effect ( almost double the price in my local currency) sadly I will still using after effect for know
