New features in the motion graphics software that combines AE-style layers with a node graph in every layer include:
- A full particle system, with forces, trails, flocking, and GPU-rendered sprites
- Animated grid layouts with the new Layout node
- Loop, For Each, Switch, and Solver for repetition and frame-to-frame feedback
- Cryptomatte support for mattes from your 3D renders
- A rewritten Lens Blur, plus Measure, Twist and Field Gradient
- Precompose multiple layers
- New AI models, per-model settings, and live generation costs (AI generation uses Caddis Tokens separately)
- Layer locking, responsive toolbars and timeline zoom that follows the playhead
Caddis is developed by motion designer Mike Gaynor. It’s priced at $129 for a perpetual license and is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux. A 7-day free trial version is available. Watch a video and find out more on Caddis.app.
