Can't import any more puppets into puppet maker

Hi,

I downloaded additional puppets from the adobe website. They downloaded as .puppet files.  When I double clicked on them they would import and open up in Puppet Maker where I could use them to make various puppets. I imported 10 or so new puppets into Puppet Maker that way.

 

I then downloaded some additional .puppet files and now when I double click on them instead of loading the puppets into Puppet Maker they simply open up in they open up in Character Anmimator Record window on a timeline and do not get saved within Puppet Maker anymore. I want to edit the puppets in Puppet Maker just like I did with the first ten I loaded but its not saving them there anymore.

 

I am using Adobe Character Animator 2024, version 24.6, Pro Mode. I am on Windows 11 desktop.

 

Attached are 3 screenshots. One shows all the puppets I imported into Puppet Maker by clicking on downloaded .puppet files. The next shows a new batch of .puppet files and my double clicking the drumbot.puppet.  The last shows that instead of opening up within Puppet Maker the drumbot now opens directly into Character Animator in a new timeline. 

 

Any thoughts on how to get them to import into Puppet Maker like the were at first?

Not all of the downloadable puppets are available as Puppet Maker puppets. Puppet Maker files have the .maker extension. The process of turning an ordinary puppet into a Puppet Maker file is a complex one that is not yet available to most users. Currently, only the puppets on this page can be imported as Puppet Maker files
