My first few attemps of making an animation. Reviews are welcome.

I exported a test animation from Calvary and it rendered correctly to .mp4 (left), but when I exported as Lottie and then dropped on the Resolve timeline (21.0.11b11 Studio) it gave me a black screen.

UPDATE: It seems that empty Text Shapes are the issue. Resolve doesn't know what to do with a text shape that doesn't have any text and freaks out. I have deleted most of the extraneous parts of this thread to clean it up for Google in case anyone else has this problem.

Hello everybody! I'm a newbie to cavalry, and I hope to get feedback on my recent project. I started learning Cavalry recently and made my first animation in 1 week, before it I was watching a few tutorials on YouTube for maybe one week straight, and after it I made this animation, everything from scratch, without copying anyone. What do everyone think about it?

dragged my logo in, moved a few sliders and its done. It's a particle field background template. No account needed, no credits, no paywall. Completely free.

We are currently developing a website called animdock. It is basically templates library for creating such easy content with no effort. Go to site, select a template customize it to your liking, press record, stop, and export it as webm video.

We currently have 15+ templates ready but library will expand overtime. Some templates working well. Some are in early stage. some function might not be work correctly.

Here is my favorite templates

Shape Collider: You can import your svgs multiple at once and and drop them naturally on canvas. or on your logo, Tweaking with gravity and mouse interaction settings are so fun imo haha!

Comment Rain: I don't do youtube content myself but if you do, you can fake your comments by using this template click record, hit stop and export.

Please check it out. link here: Animdock

And please let me know what can we do better. Do you use such website regulary if we go build over it?

I don't know why , I was following a tutorial just as it is , in the tutorial the guy added a stagger through behaviour so I was doing that . But for some reason the stagger is getting added to the timeline but it's not visible on the duplicator or on the whole structure. I've tried basically everything idk why it is happening, plzzz help 🙏.

Also , it's the same case for other behaviour's as well.

longtime AE motion designer switching to Cavalry and I've been loving it so far

but there's this text over the composition that is really annoying and unnecessary imo

I don't like these texts over the composition, I even gave up the timecode display because it was over the composition, these information should be shown below on the playback controls bar in my opinion.

Anyone knows how to hide this text please?

Thank you very much!
