You may have been wondering what the ProAnimator Importer plug-in that ships with ProAnimator actually does. It’s actually a great creative tool, allowing you to harness the fast and powerful ProAnimator animation features and apply them to your After Effects 3D layers.

Interesting JD,
I wonder if you can use
Video as well?
I guess I’m off to find out

VFX: You can use any AE Layer, especially video! Quang: Yes, that’s what I said.

Yeah it worked great! But I used a Illustrator File instead, made 8 rectangles and used JD’sMundine V Clavero video, Hope you don’t mind JD, I needed something to test it with

I thought of a cool effect for this, make snapshots of a video, and use each individual image on it like a “flip book” animation.
Thanks JD

Definitely, there are so many creative possibilities with this technique. I’ll do some other examples and post them too. Perhaps you guys and gals could create something cool and share the link! JD

Thanks Kamotho, I’m always happy to hear from my friends in Africa! Best, John.

Yeah thanks for the reply the only issue I’m having is that when I import an Audio to the after effects I can’t play it in the final material. Why is this? Maybe I’ll post the animation I did with Pro Animator sometime soon! Thanks a lot man.

James you need to choose to render with audio in the Render Queue Output Module. It’s off by default. Best, John.
