The arrow keys only work when you click the timeline but should work globally to jump between frames. If they don't, whats the point? When you animate sprites or facekeys or transition curves or literally anything, you need to be able to move in time at any place in the app. It's really frustrating...More
As CTA crashes every now and then, it would be very useful having an autosave feature that lets me chose to make an autosave every few minutes so I don't lose my work all the time. I try to save often but then you are in the tunnel animating something you forget about that. Please add that...More
It seems when assigning text to speech bubbles or message boards, there is no way to prevent the text to be auto flipped 180 degrees when turning the object over a certain angle. I was not able to find any hint on this in the manual or anywhere else....More

It's so frustrating to copy and paste keyframes when the playhead moves everytime you select something. Normally, as an animator, you look for a point in time where you want to change something, set your playhead there, select the keyframe you want to paste und just use CTRL+C and CTRL+V....More

The Motions in Puppet Stage stopped working. They worked for me initially and today for one project but now the motions in the pop-up don't work in Preview or Record. It stopped in the middle of working with it but I don't recall doing anything special? I started a new project, closed and opened...More
A few more updates in the evolution in CTA5 vector animation and we'll have a software people will flock to for animation. Here are a few things that would make CTA even more powerful for animation. 1. VERTICES ANIMATION: The ability to take a vertice of any vector object and animate that...More
