PSD to Cartoon Animator 5

[pwihms]

I'm using Affinity Photo 2 and Affinity Designer 2, and at times using  Clip Studio to create animated characters, props, and backgrounds. Part of the process to import pre-animated props is to save them as an image sequence, group them together, and export them as a PSD so that they can be imported into Cartoon Animator.  

With any of the Affinity and Clip Studio products, saving the image sequence files in a PSD, Cartoon Animator comes up with an error:

Failed to create/update G3 character from PSD file.

There are issues present, please see Error Log for more information.

Please click Learn More for character creation details.

PSD Flow Error

If I import the PSD file, from Affinity or Clip Studio, to Photopea and re-export it out as a PSD, Cartoon Animator will read it just fine.  I tried these many times under various PSD settings, with the same results.

Is this an error due to Affinity as well as Clip Studio and the ability to save a PSD file so that Cartoon Animator can read, or is there a setting that needs to be made when exporting as a PSD?

I would hope you have asked about this on "Cartoon Animator" forums if they exist.

Having no idea at all about what "Cartoon Animator" wants from a PhotoShop file all I can suggest is trying the PSD (Final Cut Pro X) export option.
