Character Animator

I have a puppet that I originally rigged years ago. I have not used it in 2 years. I know there have been many updates since then but I was surprised that many of the triggers and behaviors worked. However the eyes would not move with my eyes. I switched it over to "keyboard input." There was still no movemnet. I cranked up the "keyboard strength" to 999% and got a little wiggle. Any idea what is going on?

I am unable to import this file from  my iPhone in the voice memo app to character animator.  I've spent days trying to accomplish this simple task .  Please help 

HiAny idea why my puppet is flying. She is not on the ground anymore.ThanksBestS

My files don't work anymore due to these errors that appeared. I have not made any changes to my files. Though they are on Dropbox. Would this have any effect on it? Not had issues before this. Any ideas?  

Is there any way to set up a puppet who's arms and hands can pass over the face?Naturally, my puppet's arms are attached to the body group, which is underneath his head. Reversing that order would cause all sorts of problems.Can the arms be attached to the body if they are not part of the same group? Is there something else i'm missing?

Hello! I´m pretty new to CH, but I already made my puppet and currently trying to record a scene. I had pre recorded audio which I import and lip sync, so there are already visemes added to my scene, BUT I want to add some visemes and triggers manually to complemente what I already have, but when I try to right click the mouse button nothing happens. How can I add other visemes and triggers that I have to a scene with pre recorded lip sync audio? Thank you so much in advance for your kind help. 

So when I animate my puppets. I like to do it one by one. Lip, Mouth Triggers, Lid Triggers, Head turning, Arm Draggers. Lastly, I do the head movements. However, I get so preoccupied getting the head to move the right way that I forget to move the eyebrows up and down at the same time. Is there a way to do these things separately? Like to do just a take wiht heads tilts and movements. And then another take just moving the eyebrows? They always overwrite eachother. 

Hello, I made an animation it is beautiful, but I am asked to move the eyebrows in a certain way, but without changing the animation of the head and the rest of the body... is there a way to move the eyebrows without moving the head?

Hello Everyone, I have developed a simple puppet for the purpose of translating the English Alphabet into both the American Sign Language Manual Alphabet and also Morse Code. I did this using triggers and swap sets, and precisely 27 photos of my right hand. The puppet, "Handy" is available for free download from my website, www.thedopefiends.com and I'd like to upload it to my CC files to provide a link, but I seem to be having an issue. The website says that the file has uploaded, but I can't find it in my Assets. If I can identify what is going on, I will supply another link.Otherwise, anyone interested in trying it out can download it free from my website. I'd love to hear some feedback, suggestions or reviews - especially of any streaming applications or uses.Thanks!-AP

Hi, I'm on a Mac (OS 10.15.6) and installed CA recently and could not get it to open. I got fed up with trying so uninstalled it and left it alone for a week or so. Tonight I reinstalled it and have tried to get it to launch. It quiut on launch so I searched and found a link online to someone else having the same problem. They contacted Adobe Help who suggested they ditch the preferences and restart the app. I did this and it actually got past the startup screen and seemed to be working okay.I then quit the program and tried to restart it again but once again it quit on launch. I therefore binned the preferences a second time and once again it started up. I tried shutting it down and relaunched it. Yes, you guessed it, it quit on launch again. I've done this a few times now and it seems the only way I can get the programm to run is if I ditch the preferences first.  This is no good, I can't keep doing this.Can anyone help please?RegardsJ.

Hi,I first imported the project into After Effects, but it just takes too much rendering time in real time. I can do the same thing in Premiere, so I did that, but the scene seems to be sped up to 150%. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks

HiI took Baker puppet from samurai as a template and try to make my own puppet. For some reason the left pupill moves independently. I checked and I have exactly the same behaviors. So I don't get why this left pupill goes right and left alone.I saw "Basic Eye Rigging (Adobe Character Animator Tutorial) from Samurai but I cant' figure out what going on.Any idea?ThanksBestS

HiI try to make my own character with Baker puppet layers. I love the way the layers are moving creating life. I imported the pds file in photoshop and just changed one leg to make a test with my drawing. But when I reimport in Character animation noting moves. Even though I rigged again the leg of course. Any idea?ThanksBestS

Hi there!I'm trying to import a Scene which I created in Character animator to After Effects with the ability to then convert it to a Lottie file to use in Webflow. Is this possible to do using a dynamic link? I'm new to this, so bare with me.  After importing my Character Animator scene to After Effects, it seems that since it's now a dynamic link, the keyframes made in Character Animator are no longer editable. Is that correct?Help would be very appreciated. Thanks. 

I want my character to start walking from right to left starting from offscreen onto the screen. I do "Record One Motion" and set the character off the screen using - Anchor Point X. The walking is fine; Character walks fine, but when the take finishes, it slides back to off screen.I use motion library walking behavior- attaching screenshots.Any help would be appreciated! @oksamurai 

Howdy! I have a character that I'm trying to make jump. When she jumps, I want her feet temporarily unpinned to the floor so I can make her legs straighten out and her toes point. I've tried making her legs swap sets, so one set is "ungrounded" and one set is normal, but I'm still getting some weird distortion on her legs. For reference, here is how her legs look normally + how they're rigged up (both legs are rigged the same but with opposite L/R tags).       And here's how they look when I try to make her jump, + how I tried to rig the jumping leg so it wouldn't be pinned to the ground.          Thanks again for any help y'all can offer! 🙂

HiI downloaded the Free version of the Dudley puppet (from Electro Puppet). Arms and legs do not move. I can drag them correctly with my mouse. But I am unable to make them move with my webcam. Nothing occurs when I move my arms. I calibrate my webcam several times. I do not find the green part where I have to pin the parts of the shouders and legs. How can I do if when I dragg the shoulder point no green part appears?ThanksBestS

https://youtube.com/shorts/VUrVBN54Lsc?si=XrDUZE69wpveElikSo basically I want to create a 3d rig, render out a bunch of 3d images to show slight rotation. like how the guy does it in the video above

I just created a character using layers for head and body turning capabilities. I cannot get the head to stop floating for the life of me! It rotates well and so does the body. Even right after I import before doing anything else, the head floats. This makes me think it's something to do with the Illustrator artwork, but I can't figure out what it would be. Here is a screenshot of the artwork layers as well as a screenshot of the issue.P.S. I am planning on improving the artwork to make him look less flat but want to find a solution to my problem first.

How come I cannot access the audio to animate feature of adobe express (or all the other features of adobe express) on my iPad Pro?

Hi all, Where do I start with Character Animator? Does anyone have any go-to tutorials that they use? Thank you. Damion.

I've been working in CA for a while and used lots of techniques to create puppet. I just noticed that there is a New Empty Puppet command in the Puppet menu. Does anyone know what this can be used for. I created a puppet but couldn't open it in PS or Illustratir to add content. Anyone know why this command exists? Thanks in advance. If it is useless. I would love to see a puppet command that allowed us to move triggers and replays btw puppets with a click!
