use in your animation so if you're not an artist but want to make a quick animation for a presentation or an explainer video you can do that with the free stuff and if you like what you see you can pay for more don't like the pre-made characters you see you can assemble one to fit your vision using the actors function all these features make cartoon animator a great tool for those who know very little about animation but still want to animate cartoon animator 4 is really powerful and versatile but it's not quite the quote-unquote professional and industry standard animation tool it's not the place where you can both create and animate your characters from scratch you can easily import the assets from a psd editor and seamlessly jump between the two software well sure of course but in that case you have to know how to use both software and you cannot make an animation from start to finish like sketch in drawing and coloring included just by relying on cartoon animator 4. so if you're
