Cascadeur is currently available in English only. The software's documentation and any legal documents, such as the EULA , are offered exclusively in English, too. Tutorials, forum, and Discord channel are available in English and Russian. Our customer support is prepared to answer your inquiries in English, Russian or German via our help desk system .

Q: What payment methods are accepted?

We've partnered with the renowned American payment service provider Xsolla to carry out your payment. The following payment methods are currently accepted: Credit card payments with Mastercard or Visa. Paypal Amazon, Qiwi, Yoomoney, Scrill, Webmoney

Q: Are there any functional restrictions in the free version?

It is our declared goal to make the full range of functions of Cascadeur available in particular to hobby animators, beginners, indies and students. Therefore the free version of Cascadeur has only the following restrictions: The number of exportable frames per animation scene is limited to 300 Limited number of joints for the exported scene Small Copyright-watermark in a corner of the Viewport The "multiple scene display" tool is not included in the free version. Apart from these restrictions, as a user of the free version you can also use all the features, including the AI-supported autoposing, fast rigging and all physical tools. Commercial users of the Cascadeur Pro or Business version have many other advantages, such as direct 1-to-1 product support by our trained staff. The upgrade to Pro or Business is worth it!

Q: Which license model covers academic use?

We allow and encourage the use of the free version of Cascadeur by students and teachers for educational and training purposes. Nevertheless schools, universities, private academies or online schools must still respect the $ 100,000 annual turnover threshold of our EULA , up to which Cascadeur remains free of charge. Hence, if you plan to use Cascadeur for educational purpose in your academic institution and you don't have enough budget, please contact our sales team. We will work out a fair solution with you.

Q: On how many devices can I install and use Cascadeur?

You can install Cascadeur on up to 5 devices per license. However, the license is not transferable to other persons, companies or institutions. By accepting our EULA , you agree not to pass the software on to third parties. For a EULA -conform use of the free version every user must register on www.cascadeur.com and create their own user account. You can manage your license and your registered devices in your user profile on our website. In the event of problems with device management, please contact our customer support .

Q: I only see subscription options. Does Cascadeur offer a perpetual license, too?

As long as you opt for the annual payment, every Pro or Business license of Cascadeur is automatically converted into a perpetual license after the minimum term of one year. This means, even if you cancel your subscription after the first year, you can continue to use the last version that was released during your subscription period - to the full extent and without time restrictions. Still, it's worth keeping your subscription. An active subscription to Cascadeur Pro or Business is a prerequisite for receiving further version updates and personal customer support by our staff.

Q: What is the best way to learn animating in Cascadeur?

We provide you with a wealth of tutorials and instructions on our website and other channels to help you get started with working professionally with Cascadeur. Here is an overview of the training material currently available: Step-by-step HTML tutorials Audio-commented video tutorials Online user manual There are also several communities in which other Cascadeur users and our support staff will be happy to help you with any questions: Cascadeur community on Discord Cascadeur's forum page

Q: Do you offer special support tiers for complex animation projects?

For complex projects such as AAA games or cinematic movies, we recommend booking an Enterprise license.

Almost anything is possible, from expert training for your employees to the development of special modules and workflow integration support.
