The CTA is really fabulous and meets our needs for entertainment, but as I am of Brazil and for you Americans, it's kind of complicated the lack of detailed tutorials and personalized picture for me here in Brazil. I read English well but is complicated when we have questions we want to take. We want to buy the program and the packages but must be well prepared with the program. Please help me.

Thanks for the video. I'm having a go at the pro version for the first time. I'm using a photo of a stuffed toy monkey and trying to create an 'actor'. Even though I mask out the individual parts, when I get to the 'body calibration' area I'm left with rectangular boxes for the limbs in a semi transparent animation which shows darker areas where they overlap. Anyway, it looks dreadful. I've tried it many times but it's still not showing anything like I imagined. - where might I be going wrong?

I finally figured out how to import .PNG files. It is not that apparent but not too hard once you see how it works. A user manual would have been helpful. To import (insert) vector PNG body parts go to character composer, (top icon on left toolbar, then click on various body parts, click on "insert" in popup window. Then resize/reposition and go from there.

I just purchased this software, the Pro version. Much to my disappointment it appears that there is no way to import vector or transparent PNG files. When you import a graphic it puts a background behind it then you have to mask it out leaving a jagged or fuzzy edge, this seems backwards to me. Please tell me there is a way to use vectors to create new actors.
