Character Animator

the whole upper body is outlined in yellow?

Howdy all, I'm really new to all of this and am still very much figuring things out. That being said, I have a lot of my first puppet rigged up, but for the life of me, I can't get the eyes to track. This could be because I have a cycle animation for the eyes? I'm really not sure. Any help would be very appreciated. 

When I start a scene the camera tracks my movements for a few seconds and then stops. The camera is still available it just won't control my puppet.

Hi..Why in Adobe the animator character does not move the hand of some characters like Eliza?

Trying to make a puppet from a base I made (Gonna resuse it a lot) However everytime I import the model into Character Animator The layer styles I made to the puppet do not show up in CHaracter animator. Is there a way to fix this or Am I just going to have to Merge Layers together? Heres a photo of the issue.

Even when clicking "File->New Project" - Naming it "Attempt3" in the case below...I get the following error.  I've read a bunch of libgit2 errors but haven't found any where you can't even create a new one...Thanks for any help 

Hi, I have been trying to export from Character animator as PNG sequence but I am unabke to import it properly in Animate CC, Can someone help? Thanks in advance

Hi there,Character Animator has been playing up a fair bit today for me.My puppet is no longer reading updates from the AI file.I'm opening the file using Ctrl-E to make sure I'm editing the right file.I've included screengrabs of the AI file and have added some random black lines at the base to double-check if CA is updating.  Have re-opened, there are more elements missing in the rigging section of CA.  It's not reading any changes to layer names or new additions to the file.  Added to this, the "angry eyebrows" are randomly now appearing off-centre from the eyes.Screengrabs are included below.  Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

Hello! I'm having a little issue that seems to be with draggable handles and recording. When posing my character's arm and recording it - either "live" or 2 frame captures - the model is not retaining the full pose when playing back from the start. The arm moves, but the draggable elements of the rig seem to be missing. The strange thing is that it will remember the full pose correctly when I pause mid-clip and start again or start playing just a few seconds before the pose. I'm not sure if this makes sense. I appreciate any help I can get!  🙂

Hi,I just installed Adobe Character Animator 2021 and it won't open.Nothing happens, I don't even see the splash screen.Sometimes I get an error and a log file is created on the desktop (such as "Character Animator_2021-03-25_100421.crash").Here are a few lines from this file :     Crashed thread: 33 [18672] THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL     Exception Code: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION     Exception Parameters: User-Mode data execution prevention (DEP) violation at location 0x0000000000000000     Exception Message: 3221225477 L'instruction à 0x%p emploie l'adresse mémoire 0x%p. L'état de la mémoire ne peut pas être %s.I tried rebooting and reinstalling several times but nothing changed.Any idea ? 😞Thank you

Hello, I have a puppet all ready to go and I recorded eye & face gaze movements using a webcam and it looks great during playback. Everthing is working and there seems to be no rigging issues. However, when I change the resolution of the puppet to be higher than "low (100%)", the pupils lock back into the center of the eyes and none of my recordings work (including eye movements left/right, blinking, etc). This happens when making the resolution higher than "low" and also when rendering as vector. I also noticed that while in vector or high resolution, I can't even use the keyboard or mouse to move the eyes. They just don't respond to anything unless I lower the resolution of the puppet. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it?  I attached an image of the exact same frame with both low 100% toggled and high 400% toggled, as well as an image of my layers.  Thank you!

Hello everyone! I am having an issue with eye following- the puppet isn't moving her eyes at all. I checked if pupils weren't marked as pupil range, they were marked just as pupils. I thought It might have to do with the fact that I didnt make circles for the character's eyes, but two almonds, since her eyes are half closed. I put decoy circles behind the puppet's makeup and tagged them as pupil range, but there's still no movement. Any suggestions?

Hi im currently working for a University and we are relying heavily on Character Animator to animate our 2D characters mouth. We work with professional voice actors, but when i import my pre recorded audio into CH and compute lip sync the mouth shapes are not correct with the audio thats being imported. I have been having to go frame by frame for 5000 frames and fix the mouth shapes because the program is not syncing them correctly.Please i need some help resolving this issue, i have to finish 40 mouth animations with more than 10k frames for each one. Doing it shape by shape is not cost efficient for me or the university. I really appreciate ur help thanks.

Can you record something then do animation on the character?

I am just starting out in Character Animator and have found the Okay Samurai videos very useful. I am wondering if anyone has advice on where to start. Has anyone put together a learning course that starts with fundamentals and builds from there? Or is there a reccomended playlist of videos? Are there any books or article to read? I am looking to be guided on how best to learn the program. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I am on PC. I can't seem to get my elgato HD60 sony cam to work in character animator. Every time I select it in the menu it either crashes the program or shows up for a second and then says "disconnected". Any idea on how to fix this? I also have another external web cam that does the same thing. Thanks!

I've been working seemlessly with Character Animator, Illustrator and After Effects. However, I updated my CC apps and now After Effects says the dynamic link is broken. I tried importing a new Character Aniamtor scene into my After Effects and that won't work either. It brings up the scene box (where you select the scene from Character Animator that you'd like to import) but it is empty. It brings up the same empty scene box when I try to replace footage on my character animator link in AE. Thank you! 

Here's the story.I have a finished character project that I would like to put in Adobe Premiere. I do export by adobe media Encoder and then it fails to change the format. I talked to support and they say it's character's file and it just won't work.Adobe support did a png and wav file ok but I don't really like that. It's too many files and I can't change the duration of the length because of all the files.Thanks for any help.

Apologies if this was mentioned before. I'm stuck in rig mode trying to match the mouth to the lip sync behavior. Everything is tagged "Aa," "D," etc. and for some reason, the tags don't go along with the Lip Sync behavior. It's stuck at 0. Not sure what steps to do to make the behavior work as "1." I'm literally stumped. I used the format of the "Chloe" PSD Puppet with a new puppet/build I worked on. If someone knows a solution, I tried finding the answer on YouTube and haven't been able to figure this out. Thank you.
