Character Animator

If I want to animate my character the Character doen't fit in the Picture - the head is allways cut off. I'm new and I have no idea how to fix that.

This is just a heads up. I recently updated to Ch 2.0.1 and my camera stopped working. I am using a Windows 10 machine I7-7800X 64GB RAM and a logitech C920 camera. I restarted and did everything I know to try to get it to show an image. It works in any other program and the mic from the camera worked just fine with in CH. I reverted to version 2.0 and it works fine. Thanks for all your hard work.

All my cycle animation are slowed down since i changed the framerate in the scene, is there any way to fix this ?

I love Ch! I've been using it for 4 years. Each version makes it better. However, one major factor holding it back is the lack of PadOS and iOS support. Removing this barrier would allow more people to experience and use Ch. Given that the facial tracking features on all iPads and iPhones since the iPhone X work with consumer social media filter iOS apps (eg TikTok, Insta) AND professional motion capture (eg Rokoko), then it appears that Adobe could add it to the iPad and iPhone. It would really help utilise limb tracking. Can you PLEASE consider it! Thank you!!

to be more specific i'd like to get a lipsync motion from audio and use that motion while i take head movements from my live webcam

Hello !I would like a lower face shadow cast on my character's neck. The problem is, when my character's head rotates, the shadow also rotates and it sticks out of the neck. Is it possible to limit the casting of shade to one area? I tried with a clipping mask but the shadow disappears.Thanks for your help !émilie 

Hi - I have encountered a deadline-shattering bug... I am working on a Mac formatted hard drive on my Windows system. I built 6 puppets that I saved onto this drive - every now and again I would get an error saying "bad rope operation", however, a notification would let me know that I have saved a new version. I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. Fast forward to today - I am unable to open any of my puppets - getting the same error "bad rope operation" whenever I try to open them. Opening and saving puppets to windows formatted drives works fine. Hope this bug report is helpful. I'm off to re-rig all my puppets now.

Is there such a thing like the razor cut tool from Premier which you can cut and delete sections of an item in the timeline. I am doing a recording on CH and I only want to cut and delete sections within the recording without having to to do the entire recording again. How do you go about cutting sections of the timeline in CH?

 And yes, everything is there. I just finished working on it..   I got this too: - Source File: C:\Users\Edgar\AppData\Local\Temp\crystal ball.prproj- Output File: C:\Users\Edgar\Desktop\Stuff\Adobe\Premier Pro\Crysta Ball\Crystal Ball Final.mp4- Preset Used: Match Source - High bitrate- Video: 1920x1080 (1.0), 30 fps, Progressive, Hardware Encoding, Nvidia Codec, 00:12:02:12- Audio: AAC, 320 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo- Bitrate: VBR, 1 pass, Target 10.00 Mbps- Encoding Time: 00:00:2706/17/2021 05:02:13 PM : Encoding Failed-------------------------------------The Operation was interrupted by user-------------------------------------- Source File: C:\Users\Edgar\AppData\Local\Temp\encoder .prproj- Output File: C:\Users\Edgar\Desktop\Stuff\Adobe\Premier Pro\sensor ruler encoder.mp4- Preset Used: Match Source - High bitrate- Video:- Audio:- Bitrate:- Encoding Time: 00:00:0007/13/2021 02:34:18 PM : Encoding Failed-----------------------------------------------------------

Hi,I did a small layer correctment in my original psd puppet file.. now my Ch file keeps reporting this and won't show any scene. I tried undoing a lot of steps to retrieve the old layout.. but now it still keeps doing it.Is there a way I can replace my puppet layers without having to do the rigging all over again?

So I created my puppet in photoshop however I accidently closed the original file in character animate and now I cant put it in to character animator. Does anyone know how I could fix this problem? Im very new to this program so any help would really mean alot.

How about adding a mouse pointer draggrer feature? Sure... I could also add a picture of a dragger and move it around I guess... but might not be as cool as a native system dragger that could have lights and a piece of cake with it.. 

Hello All! I have watched several videos about Adobe Character Animator, and I'm super interested in animating using Barbarasaurus. I wanted to know:1. How I can change the text in the headlines2. How I can add a different picture to the graphics cards3. How I can change the background while having Barbarasaurus still there. I know how to add a new background when the puppet comes without a set background, but it seems like one overlays the other with fully developed animations like Barbarasaurus.   Any help would be much appreciated. I really want to do a series to help some kids I volunteer with! Thank you!

Hello guys!I have a problem where when I try to work with this PSD it freezes my Character Animator completly. The cpu usage goes from 8% to 100%.

Hello! So I can create animations with CH and put it on a video.   Is there a way that I can create an interactive animation triggers and host it in a website?  If so, how do I go about to do this? I would like to have my drawings which I create in Illustrator show up in a web page with trigger buttons on the side.  When the visitor clicks a trigger button I want the drawing to do a set of animations in relation to the drawings.  I know this is beyond of what CH is made for, but I suppose it can be done.   Would anybody have any advise on how to accomplish this?   

Here's a request. If I make a robot with something like an equalizer for a mouth, is there some way to set it up so that the lights get brighter when the voice is louder? Or do I have to just fake it by using visemes for the lights?

Hello. I'm having a LOT of issues on my first puppet. It was based on Tull puppet.The problem that I really whish I could resolve is the mouth lipsync. It seems that the default mouth is overlapping the others when activated and I cant figure out what is happen.Sorry, I'm really noob at character animator.

CharacterAnimatorのタイムラインの中に「シーンオーディオからリップシンクテイクを計算」という項目がありますが、「シーンオーディオから 2 リップシンクテイクを計算」と、「２」が途中で表示されるようになりました。そのため、リップシンクをする際に必ず2つシーケンスバーが表示されてしまいます。この「2」の設定を変更する方法はありますか？どこを見ても設定が変更できる場所が見つかりませんでした。

Seriously... All you need is to make your triggers interactive with website users and you'll have a super more power software than Adobe Aninmate, Flash is already dead... and Animate is a real mess to work with.

I made a star backdrop twice over now and it is not letting me place it in a scene. I was able to get the 2nd one up as a puppet however as soon as i put it in the scene i get an error and failure to perpare scene message.  When i made the sky it did not rename the layers as copy so it has 1567 stars all named "1" under a group named +stars. is this the issue, if so is there an easy solution? or, is it simply to much for my computer. I am using fairly large files so I can have my back grounds in contant movement.  Thanks. 

I have taken some of the elements away from the camera.....Eye Movements, Eyebrow Movents.  However, I still would like the head to move when I move in the camera.  Head Tilting is what I really want.   Basically, the only thing I want the camera to do is track my head tilts.My problem currently is that the camera is not tracing my head tilts.  I never changed any of the camera settings, just disconnected the unwanted movements. How do I get the head tracking back?

Hi, in rig mode the background color is white, which is what I want, but when I go to scene mode I get this which is not what I want.
