Character Animator

Not sure what to make of this... I had everything working well, opened the puppet to edit the art, and when it saved and reloaded, suddenly the puppet was just frozen in the recording and streaming panels. My camera and microphone are still active and working properly, it's tracking my face and the volume meter is accurate, but the puppet won't move at all. I've broken the rig before and it at least moves the entire puppet with my head, but now it's just a still image. I've restarted Ch (and the whole computer), and seen similar posts where the problem was fixed by changing audio devices or toggling the camera and mic inputs off and on, but nothing has worked for me.

After updating to version 3.4 existing projects now has an issues returning to original setpose. The only way I can get the hand draggers back to their original pose before I can export out and preview, I have to click play/stop about 50 times and it slowly returns to the actual starting point... if I do not return them to the orignal starting point I m getting errors where the timeline plays but gets broken with certain draggers are offset in the wrong placement and pays from that point in time. Also another way to get the Pose back to default is to click also about 50 times on the timeline or click the refresh the scene every time I preview.. very anoying and breaks the workflow ... Hope this gets fixed soon.

Hi! I think that this could help someone. In the first time I used Character Animator, after a minor change (just the color of the nose) in a puppet in Illustrator, the Ch had some problems in reproducing the puppet. I closed the program and couldn't reopen it. I tried a lot of times. Restartet the computer several times, there was an open project that crashed and the program didn't openned anymore. There was the messages, "open a project in more than one computer at the same time could cause..." and the program didn't responded. SOLVED: I was using a Logitech Camera 910. When I removed this hardware, immediately the program runned normally. God bless you.

 Why do my arms move up so quickly? Also is there a way to make the walking more fluent?

So, I have made some clipping masks in illustrator and taken then to Ch without problems(clothing, basically). It gets the clipping group as a single layer, and fine. But I have two arms in wich it is not working. Actually, three, but one got solved just recomposing layers in illustrator. I have tried the same, but it does not work: it gets it as two different layers and therefore the <linked file> in illustrator appears completely, not being the inside of the clipping path. I have tried renaming, reordering...i can´t make it work. Any ideas? Thanks

I am face two error's when I try to launch Adobe Character animator "MFPlat.DLL was not found" and "MF.dll was not fount"

It would be really nice if there are options added to character animator so we can animate puppets laying down and standing up from the laying position.

I have this walk cycle, it's frame by frame.  It's 8 frames I have on cycle layers.  I want to control his mouth/face while he's walking.  How would I do that?  I added a mouth 8 different times onto each frame and tried to let the cycle layers play through but it doesn't work, it stops the cycle and goes back to my idle cycle.  Any info would help.  Thanks.  

Hi, I'm fairly new the character animator and am having issues with imported audio. I have imported an mp3 file but when I click play nothing happens. I've also tried a wav file and an mp3 file that had worked previously but is not working now. I've also tried creating a new project and putting it in that but it's still not working. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 

Attached is my first puppet, I am trying to get it smoothed out, but having issues figuring out why some parts aren't connected, and would love to be able to animate the mouth but can't get it to look right.

I am NEW...I need to I think save the clip in Character animator...file extension chj?? something something. Then I want to import it to premiere pro... I am a teacher trying to create dynamic lessons for my elementary students.  Please explain it like I'm five. Thanks!

Could anyone help me with this? For me it seems to be set up fine, it works also in similar cases of other characters. Just no idea what I am doing wrong...

Hi,I tried opening the tutorial on character animator and these are the errors that are seen when I click on them. "Internal error code: (1431844275:478+8) bad argument #1 to 'FindTabByID' (number expected, got boolean)"What should I do? I had a problem where it was crash before as soon I booted it and click on an actor but later I uninstalled and installed it again. It started to work but now this has come up. What do I do? Please help Thanks.

Dear community,I am just slowly getting desparate searching for a mistake I made while seting up this puppet. The head is movieng completely wrong, as well as parts of the shoulders, while walking. one eye seems to be moving ok, the otherone does not. Any ideas on how to fix this mess?Thank you!

I opened several puppets yesterday and now they are 'married' to each other and I can't separate them. Any suggestions?

Hi,I have a puppet in a scene and imported an audio file for lip syncing.However, when I click on the puppet on the timeline and go to Timelie, there is no option to compute lip sync from scene audio.Am I missing something? Using 3.4 latest update.I have an option for "Compute 2 takes from scene audio" but that seems different?

Heyo ! I'm having trouble with one particular function on my puppet (a modified "blank" puppet to be precise):Even though every other option is working properly and my both eyebrows are named with a "+" in Illustrator and crowned in Character Animator and tagged to the corresponding face part they seem to be deforming the top of my character's head when i move them.I checked every property to make sure they were independant and they apparently are but they still drag the top of my puppet's "head background" as they go up and down.Any idea how to fix this ?Thanks !(Here are some screens of my puppet's CHAN and Illustrator)

I am adjusting a character from a blank chacter template and I am having trouble with the neck rigging. I have attached some picture below of the issue. You can see the neck stretching in a distorted way, whether it is up or down. It looks like there is a pin near the neck causing the distortion but I cant find anything wrong with the rig. If you have any ideas please let me know, I have tried so many things at this point.    

Hey there, just started using this program and I'm wondering if Android or IOS are supported to use as a webcam. Thanks.

I have installed, uninstalled (back to 3.31), and reinstalled version 3.4 on my iMac 2017 and 3.4 locks up when it attempts to "prepare a scene" (White background only).   In an attempt to make sort it out I created a new simple project in 3.31 using Dr. Applesmith, installed 3.4, which then attempts to open the last opened project and it worked for a short time but when I then opened a previous other project it locked up again.  It appears all other new Adobe apps (PS, PP, AE, AU) are working.

While I create arm position with Dragger, there is happening a bending error. I've tried Arm Ik on/off and auto bend on/off but still the same error. Can you help me with that? I added a video attachment.

Hi I want to use CE for a scripted comedy showIn the script the characters need to do several things that are not obvious for me how to do them in the software (or if its possible).They need to eat potato chips, drink from a glass, kiss, fight and cry. How would I get characters to do this in the software?

Hello. I'm farily new to character animator and photoshop.  I've an eyeball shape, an iris shape, and a pupil shape. I've grouped iris and pupil to a pupil group and they move just fine. No eye lids. Eyeball shape is oval and iris shape is circle. I want the iris to show through the eyeball rather than the entire circle sitting on top of the oval shape. I'm trying to find masking tips, but am not having any luck. Any tips?
