Character Animator

Was editing my puppet and added something on my photoshop file waiting for it to connect and then got this error. I cant connect back to the original, I just keep getting this error. Please Help!

Is there a way I can change a section of the audio recording in CH?I would like to change a single word from the audio recording, but I want to do from CH so I don't have to re-import the audio track and re-do sync and everything. Is there a way I can mute a section of the audio track and put another word on top of it and then comeback to the original audio track?  Obviously I am trying to keep the timing of everything in the very same spot and that is why I don't want to re-record the original track. 

When working ....it shut down due to power failure...now the project file not opening ....it showing this error...is there any solution for this? or I've to work from scratch again..

Just started rigging my character and I can't seem to get the eyes to function normally. I used the Blank Puppet so it may be the way my eyes are drawn? Any ideas?

I built a puppet downloading the "Blank" character and replacing parts with my own artwork. Everything worked fine, then I decided to start adding Head Turns.I watched some videos, I'm pretty sure I followed the correct heiarchy, but afterward, the head would float off the neck. I looked up some tutorials and followed a few suggestions here, and things just got worse.  Current issues:  - Pupils spin when I turn or tilt my head - Mouth, eyes, and bottom of the face warps on certain head movements - "Smile" layer no longer shows white teeth on frontal view, only skin tone. -Pins not holding bottom of the puppet down -Original head sticking to neck problem I tried to get all parts marked to the correct Independent toggle, double checked my handles and tags, I can't tell what I've done (it's only my second day messing with it), but I am sure my fixing was actually my breaking.  

Previously I used arm movements by draging a wrist handle with the mouse to a certain position.   Is there a way that instead of dragging the handle with the mouse that I could use a transform behaviour on the dandle and then move it to and X or Y position?

Is there a way to make items with the Dangle behavior, such as hair, not activate between Keyframes? For instance, if you take the sample puppet Chloe and record a few seconds, then add keyframes that simulate a camera cut—say from 100% scale to 200% centered on face—the hair will move, even though it shouldn't because it's just a "camera" move. And if you combine a move along the X axis the hair move can get really funky. I've tried keyframing Dangle and Physics behaviors but that doesn't seem to do anything. I'm on the latest version of CA 3.3.1 (not beta), macOS 10.15.6 Catalina, most recent MBP 16 inchThanks in advance for any suggestions.

I would like to display my output steam to my Microsoft TEAM meetings without sharing my desktop, is this possible?

Hi,I downloaded a free puppet (Tull the cat) that worked great.  I wanted to edit the color and save the puppet under a differenname, but when I import the new colored puppet it is not rigged like the original.I did not change any of the rigging... I simply renames it so as not to make a mistake on the original puppet.Please help.Thanks

So I have the same exact puppet that I am using for different projects. Is there a way to copy / transfer the rigging from one project to another project for the same exact puppet?   

My problem is I have watched the video that pertains to the problems listed and still can't get how to fix them. I made a screenshot of the rigging issues and yes, I have watched Dave countless times talking about Behavior, Rigging, Tagging, and handles. I finally got her mouth the work. I'm close but yet far.Please help, I almost gave up until a miracle her mouth worked.

Help. I tried to take my whole folder where the project that I had working the way I wanted it onto a different computer. But when I opened the project in the copied over folder it didn't recognize the puppet file and nothing worked. I tried reimporting the puppet and it didn't pick up any of the behaviors that I had set. How do I switch the files to a new computer and not have this problem?

Below you'll find a video review of what it looks like bugs to me.  On the video you'll see 2 problems that I still have, but hopefully I can fix them by creating a separate file.  The main sticky problem with Character Animator seem to be missing parts from the the files I am working with, either complete missing layers or only partially showing layers.  Triggers don't show on the screen when I trigger them, but they still show in the timeline.  This happens more often if I do some changes from my illustrator file, the Rig Mode screen catches the changes without a problem, but the Record Mode screen starts showing only partial parts of the layers or doesn't show the layer at all. Also, if I start doing changes in CH in unrelated items earlier in the timeline, suddenly I find other items that are out of place and I need to go back and re-fix them. Understanding the concept of a clipping mask just by trial and error took some time, but trying

 Imagine two moving objects side by side that required masking, and they are both moving up and down taking on each others paths when you switch the direction of the movement.  The problem is that the masking of one item will always seems to overlap on top of other item that is right next to it.  So, how could you have red and blue move up and down next to each other without having their masks hide the color right next to them?  Could something like that be done quickly?  Or would it require a frame by frame trigger?    Check this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Joz-Pc7b1Bc 

This Adobe tech support guy seriously just hung up on me a few minutes ago. Apparently the CH programs shows items on the Record mode that are not necesarily dropped in the record mode timeline....  I spent 3 days trying to figure it out, and another 40 mins with Adobe on the phone updating my graphic card.. just to go, WHAT?!  The timeline was showing parts and pieces of a drawing that wasn't even in the timeline.  The tech guy kept saying if it was something from the file I would have to deal it with it myself, and before I could point out that the program was showing a drawing that wasn't in the timeline he hung up the phone on me.  Have the issue been solved?  Not at this moment.  I am going to try create this project again, but surely looks like I have to work it with bugs in the system.  This is the bottom line issue I have right now, in which some parts of my drawings don't seem to come up in the record mode of CH...&nb

I made a 'Mouth Group' under 'Head' group.I created a swap set 'Mouth' and 'Mouth_alt' inside 'Mouth Group'.Both are set to independent and 'Head' is set to parallax is at 1500. It works perfect for eyes, nose and the 'Mouth' unless I swap to 'Mouth_alt', the parallax doesn't apply for this 'mouth_alt' at all. I tried all possible combinations with Weld, Hinge, Attach to... Although, I found that if I move the 'Mouth_alt' layer on top of 'Mouth' inside 'Mouth_group', it works the other way. Only the alternate mouth group works with Parallax and not the other one now.PLEASE HELP

Hello i created my character with the walking template in adobe website when I import my character the body is floating and i cant use the pin tool because i need the character to walk  also the head in my character wont move with my head , the whole body moves with my head  how can i fix this problem ? 

So my computer for some raeason shut down and restarted back up in the middle of doing work in Character animator. I have been working on this file for 2 days, and now I try to re-open the file it says its "corrupted" and won't open. Is there a way I can get this work back?  

See the picture below. I imported 4 items, 3 illustrator files, and one photoshop file with a puppet.  For some reason the illustrator files are showing very small in relation to the puppet in the rig panel.  Once I opne the record panel the zise looks normal, but its hard to view them in the rigging area. Is there a way I can fix it?   

I made a puppet with cycle layers for more than half of the mouth shapes. They were 1-3 frames long. It didn't feel as good as I thought it was going to, it almost seemed make it worse at times. I drew the frames based off the neutral mouth, so each shape went from the neutral to the new mouth shape. But in practice they were usually starting at some mouth shape other than neutral and then going to the new shape, so the cycle layers looked weird. Anyone have any tips for smoother lip sync with cycle layers? thanks  

Hi, So I am trying to really get into adobe CH.  I am finding a lot of tutorials that show puppet creation and features.  All very nice, but they seem to leave me (or I am not getting it) missing some key features. Barbarasaurus is very cool.  I wanted to take the headlines idea and the graphics cards and use those.  I see controls, even say the tutorial on how to ungroup them.  I can get into the puppet and see the trigger controls, and see the original items. I can't seem to find the steps to edit, or create these types of features on my own.Any pointers to the right tutorial would be very appreciated. Thanks, 

Hi everyone, just looking for some tips on improving my workflow with multiple character views. I want to understand why its neccessary to duplicate head / body layers across multiple profile views? Is it purely for a walk cycle? For my setup I wont be needing a walk cycle, so this is my setup: Character + Frontal     Head (shareable) -Head Turner     Body+ Left     Head (shareable) -Head Turner     Body+Right      Head (shareable) -Head Turner      Body This results in so many triggers in the record view, its a bit frustrating.However, what do I lose in this setup below?: Character     Head     +Frontal     +Left etc     Body     +Frontal     +Left etc Then I only want to use triggers to switch views, Head and Body separate. (Left Profile,. Left Quarter etc) to minimis
