Character Animator

I have a Char Anim project with tons of voice-over audio files with many of the VO takes replaced with pick-ups... is there any way to determine which ones are not currently used anymore and can be safely deleted from the project similar to what you can do in Premiere/AfterEffects? I'd hate to mistakenly delete something that was still in use in a scene. If such a feature doesn't exist, I humbly request it be added.    

Hi, I regularly uses the "Compute Head Movement from Speech" feature in Character Animator, and since I've updated to version 24.2, the "Compute Head Movement from Speech" would stop working after around the 2:00 mark in my videos, so I've reverted back to version 24.0 and it is fine. So I guess this could potentially be a bug that might require some attention? Thanks!

Hello All, I'm creating a video for our STEM Program for the School District I work for and am very new to Character Animator. So far I've created an Ai generated character, I've created a Pin mesh to eventually give the character slight life like movements, but now I'm focused on eye and mouth motion assignments. How do I go about assignments of the mouth and eyes for specific motions such as blinking for the eyes and movement of the mouth? Sorry if this is vague, I'm very new here. Thank youNino

I have a new computer with an I9, 32GB and RTX 4070. When I try to record my movements the recording is lagging behind and skipping. I have it set to 24fps. My previous laptop with less specs did not have any issues with this. I feel like I am missing something. I am using the newest version 24.2.

La barra de sonido no se activa, y sale el texto,Nivel de audio demasiado bajo.No se a que nivel se refiere.He cerrado todas las demás aplicaciones y he cerrrado y abierto el programa y sigue igual.Gracias.

Hello, I recentrly bought adobe creative cloud , I was trying  to do a project through adobe character animator , but i was not able to acess anything from timeline  tab and I swichted to pro but still the same issues. please what should I do?  thank you

I just downloaded Character Animator 2024 (24.2) and it is not reading my integrated camera. I have restarted multiple times. I have assured the camera access is on and open. I have read the forums, watched the videos, and tried my spouse's computer (it worked). I have checked that the camera is selected in the hamburger (three lines) menu in the panel. I have made sure no other programs are accessing the camera. I have run a hardware scan and everything is working properly and all the drivers are up to date (even the GPU, which needs to be checked through a separate program). However, on my machine,CA still says "Waiting for Camera."This is the only computer I am able to use for this work. Buying an additional camera is not an option for me right now. I would like help in resolving this issue so that I am able to use this program with my computer.System Details:Lenovo Legion 5 ProWindows 11 Home, 23H2, 64-bit, x64-based processorProcessor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics 3.20 G

I am using the motion library well by applying it to a puppet called Blobby provided by Adobe. This time, I tried to change the shape of this Blobby Puppet and apply it in the same way, but there was no response at all. When I apply the body and limbs to the behavior and use the motion library, there is no response. Even if I delete all the behavior items and reapply the body, limbs, and motion libraries, there is no response at all. When applied to other puppets on other sites, it works as a motion library, but Adobe puppets such as Mega Robot and Blobby do not work, so there appears to be a problem.       

I'm going in circles trying to figure out why the face capture of my eyebrows is distorting the head and other assets. I've made them independently and gone through the tags but I feel Im missing something. Anytime I raise or lower, it distorts. Please help 😞

I've been using CH for animation for a while and want to apply for some CH gigs but a lot of them include rigging the character too. I've taken a lot of tutorials and have made a few practice rigs swapping out the art from existing rigs and they work fairly well. On Fiverr and Upwork some people are charging $20 for rigs and others $200+ but a lot factors into that including what country they're located in and the complexity of the puppet.I'm talking to someone now and the character would have maybe two 3/4 views (can't be flipped), blinks, lip-sync, draggable arms, and some dangle added to the hair.  I'm just wondering for someone that makes rigs a lot or was ever employed as a CH rigger what the expectations are so I don't scare a client away with an estimate or end up selling myself short. Thanks! 

So I have a puppet in Adobe Character Creator that works great for the head animations (head turning, lip sync, etc.) but trying to rig and animate the body is a nightmare, IK rigging is the only thing it provides and trying to get an elbow/knee to bend the way you want it to while dragging the hands/feet around is impossible and there are no recent tutorials offering solutions. Is is possible for me to just use Character animator to do the head animations and then drop the project file into Animate and attach it to a puppet I've imported and rigged there? Obviously asking for a bone tool in Character Creator is too much, neither is it obvious to the devs to include it, so If I have to use both programs in tandem to make my character work then I can live with that.

Hi all!  My little pup's tail wag is driving me crazy. Is there a way to hide the movement lines BEHIND the BODY?  The body is a white solid, 100% opacity.   The tail object is placed behind the body, and hides appropriately.   RTFM'd, watched all relevant YT videos but still consider myself an absolute noob, this being my first scratch-made puppet.  Thanks in advance!mfC    

Hi, I'm a pretty much novice when it comes to animation but I was hopeing someone could help as i have searched all over youtube for an answer and I cant seem to find one. I have mad an imported a character but I cannot seem to add expressions via triggers I have added another "blink" but it overlays on top on the exsiting eye as is when I press the trigger the eyeball remains visable and the blink lines just overlay them in the performance. There is most likely a simple fix I just dont know it! I would very much appreciate some helpe please.(I have added screenshots for reference)    I am also having problem's with the arm rigging as it seems the stretch the arm and warp it too much.

There is no workspace in the Adobe character animator  

please help!! when I open my project, Im gettitng this error: i had many puppets and other files in the project and it's very important for me to open it 😞 

Looking for a solution as to why CA can't find my webcam? It appears to be quite a common issue and I've got to say a very frustrating one. All the YT tutorials show the webcam working, and without that happening the program is pretty pointless. I have the very latest version and am using the Elgato option which uses my phone. It works in W11 camera app. My monitor is a Samsung M8 with a webcam, but CA won't recognise that either, and why I'm trying Elgato as I don't like the idea of going out and buying another webcam, and that might not work either? Is there a webcam that is guaranteed to work by Adobe?...Why are things so hard!!

HiI took the Baker (Samurai puppet) as an exemple and try to pu my own drawing. I cant' figure out what's going on. Impossible to drag the arms with my mouse.Any idea?It looks so terrible &#x1f605 6 hours I'm on it. I just want to give up. I think it's not for me.ThanksBestS

Hi guys My characte remians static whenever I pick a part to animate ie I animate the head but the arm movements I recorded before don't play during recording. This makes it very difficult to act out the character when nothing else moves. Does anyone have a workaround for this?
