I'm new to character animator and am having trouble making a chapter clap. I know that I can can record a trigger one arm at a time but it still isn't looking quite right especially since the palms don't actually come together. Any tips on a simpler way to do it while having the hands look natural? Thanks!
For some reason when I move my eyes on character animator it does not trace and looks at the opposite direction and the pupils move around by themselves help

Hello, are there any VIDEOS on how to create a left and right profile character out of a front profile character. I want him to eventually walk. Using photoshop preferably. Thanks
We've been rocking along with CA for a while now - but having a heck of a time with our shared storage workflow. Generally if the same systems access their files they created we have no issues - but now I can't even dynamic link to files. I'm getting this error when trying to open an old project...tried most of the usual fixes (uninstall/install CH, make sure there is an object folder)....but nothing on this. Is there anything we can do? Seems crazy we can't operate off a shared stoarage device (I get dropbox, google, etc) - but a straight up NAS device should be fine. Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
Hi,I am currently working on a scene in After effects in which I've got five scenes from Ch. Two of them with four charaters in it, and two with one.Both applications are running.They're about 30-60sec long, 1080p 25fps.Whenever I want to preview something in AE after I've edited something, it often results in 1) the blue progress bar working endlessly to connect the dynamic link or2) the blue loading icon working for many minutes + Ae status bar changes to "(Not responding)".3) slow caching of preview in general.Sometimes it works OK, but I don't think it is fast enough for daily production, as I am constantly waiting for previews after I've done something with the scene.I have tried setting the preview to skip 2/5 frames, and setting the quality down to a quatert but it does not seem to work any faster.Switching between fast draft and adaptive resolution doesn't help either.I have also tried moving the cache folder to another disk, as well as with/without CUDA enabled in the project
Hello! When I stop and start my walk cycle (easing set to 0.4), my character sort of floats down into the walk cycle than floats up to the stand still position. Ive tried moving the origin points to different places but it hasn't made a difference. Has anyone come across this issue?
I'm going to have to move my work for a while from desktop to laptop. This required moving a lot of Ch media to one drive. There may have been a better way to do this (and I'd love to hear about it), but I did it on the finder level. So, of course, when I launch Ch, everything is offline. If I launch a project on Premiere, I get a message saying, "All these clips are offline (I'm paraphrasing of course.)" I've then got a nice window from which to track down my offline media. Is there a way to do this in Character Animator? I don't see a systematic way to find the media I need to find. Martin
I'm trying to do a cycle layer in character animator but every time I export the group to character animator it appears as one layer. I have tried ungrouping all separately and grouping them back together but my file keeps saying the the group is one single layer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've been having some issues getting my puppet's eyes to move properly. Her left eye moves, but it seems to not match my webcam's movements, while her right eye doesn't move at all. Based on some research, I'm thinking it has to do with the tags or independence, but I can't seem to figure out where that is. I've attached my puppet file, and here's a screenshot of what my rig looks like:(Puppet Download Here) Any help would be appreciated on this!
Hand is transparent. It is appearing pixeleted when I want it to appear normal/overlay. Any idea which setting might be off?
Help!I don't understand what is going on with the arm of my character. I have read a lot of threads related to this topic but can't seem to find the answer. What am I doing wrong??Please see the video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EjDSsMina0&feature=youtu.be Thank you
I have a three fold problem and I just can't figure it out, I looked at every video I can find on this issue and just can't find what i'm missing, where the problem is. 1) my head is warping and disconnecting from the body 2) the body doesn't move at all 3) the arms are detaching from the body, I don't know how to close that gap under the arms I hope the link below works so you can see what i'm going through, i am really discouraged! :{ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DsiLKVJoa4xynp_IQJIPXchTqFGyJxG0/view?usp=sharing [Moving from generic Start/Help forum to the specific Program forum...

I noticed that Adobe Character Animator tracks the mouth in the camera and was wondering if there was the possibility to use this tracking to create an animated mouth instead of using the visemes generated by audio. Anyone know or hear of anything like that?

Hi, I have installed character animator 3.0 but it's showing open GL error.... The software require 3.2 open GL version, but I already have open GL version 4.4 on my intel dual core process (6 gen).... I've even used character animator on my pc a few times but Everytime i setup windows it shows this problem.... before setting up windows I've check my open GL version it was 4.4 and the software was running perfectly.... But after windows setup it says my open GL version is 1.2.... and the software is also having an open GL error.... Is there any way to use full version of my processers open GL all the time to use Adobe CH or do i have to get a graphics card to use the software....Thanks....
Will there be hand and zoom tools in the scene panel in the next version? Working with walking puppets and bigger scenes makes it very hard to adjust things later on. The scroll and drag function in After Effects works really well, perhaps you could make Character Animator use the same tools the same way?Chris
Hi - I have my puppet rigged up to walk on and off the scene and I have some foley footsteps sound effects that I'd like to sync up with the footsteps. It works fine but every single footstep requires it's own layer for the audio files. I was hoping I could drag the audio files on to one single audio layer but CA doesn't appear to allow that. These scenes are most likely going to end up in a Premiere Pro project, so I could add the footsteps there instead... seems better than creating a bunch of layers in the CA scene.Any suggestions?
Hi, I work in television, and I need to hire a Character Animator. Any suggestions?I'm a big fan of the software but I can't do everything myself.I tried various websites and it's been a bust.This is for freelance work. Short and long contracts according to your availability.
