Character Animator

The following video shows my problem. when turning left and right there is a 1 second delay before snapping to the appropriate image set, but not when i turn back to the frontal view. everything works fine with default puppets and ive been playing in settings all day trying to figure out whats wrong. any help would be awesome!head turn delay - YouTube

I'm not sure if this is a Peremiere Pro problem or a Character Animator problem so I'm posting this in both forums. I've created a character in CH and imported it ito PP. The first time there was no audio when I first opened the file in the Source window. The animation was working. (I tried every which way to import and nothing changed. I also tried just placing the CH file in the timline. No sound) I went back to CH and saved as a new file. After importing to PP there was audio in the source file. So I could go through that and choose the cuts I wanted. When dragging the portions I wanted to the timeline, the audio dissapeared again. The animation works great but no sound. I don't know what else to do so here I am. Any help is greatly appreciated.(By the way, I'd done this successfully with a couple of previous animations. So that's why I'm not sure what I'm now doing wrong.)Thanks!Terry(I'm always using the latest version of everything on a MacOS Sierra.)

What do i do if i finished all the letters for my triggers?

Hi...I am trying to import my first character from photoshop into Character Animator but for some reason it won't let me. Right now I only have the head, right eye, right pupil, and right blink. Do I need to completely finish my character or do I need to save it differently in Photoshop or what? If anyone has the answer to this please let me know. Thanks

this has happened to multiple projects and it is SO frustrating because this is the error I get when I try to enable auto-sync with artwork.and so far the only way to fix it is completely reimporting the puppet...but there goes hours of rigging and trigger binds and cycle layers.Is there ANY way around this? Am I doing something wrong?

Hi, I want to find out how to use character animator with obs studio in windows. i initiate a chat a few times but wasn't connected to a representative.

Hello, i'm using the latest version of Adobe CH (2.0) on a windows 10. Every time i start a new project everything goes well until one time i open up my scene (or puppet) and it gives me an error that sais: "error parsing properties list from file". sometimes i reopen the project or do something like that and then it goes away for a few minutes but it always comes back.I want to know how to fix this problem. Thank you.

I use Character Animator every week for our YouTube Channel - Talking to Mormons.Thank you guys for all your hard work and all the great new features.I have a suggestion - can you add a Script / Dialog Window that we can use within Ch.Some useful features would be the ability to have the script automatically scroll while recording.I currently use MS Word and have used some teleprompter apps. But with the new version of Ch once you start a recording and click on a window outside of Ch the recording stops. Not cool. The ability to move a script / dialog window next to the camera and Scene window would be tremendously useful, even if I had to scroll with my mouse wheel (on hover).Thank You Ch Team.

Hi there,I'm new to Character Animator [I'm only using it for a university task], and for some reason my puppets body and crown I created won't show up in Record mode but are visible in Rig mode. I checked they're both actually turned on with the eye symbol but that doesn't seem to be the issue.Any help?Thanks in advanced!

Hi there is there an option or an tutorial how to add the parallax-effect?as far as I can see this effect is only influencing the "eyes" and "nose"-taged elements but i want the mouth to be influenced as well andmaybe if possible the ears and some other parts of the face (maybe even inverted paralax movement to simulate rotation for the ears and hairstrains)Or maybe in addition to that is there any work-around to create a fluid head turn - I found a tutorial on making it with cycle layer options but it stresses my out to set every key and group-Setting on every frame and it seems to make it laggy with many of these complex single frame-groups as "inbetweens" regarding my computer performance. Isn't there a chance to rearrange and maybe even transform the Face-Elements in Character Animator itself for the different Head-Position and it tweens the motion for every element between the set positions? Another thing I just can't fix on my project, the pupils movement seems to be inverted (le

I'm trying to have 1 arm that when I drag it, it stays in position. The other arm, I want to reset to position after 1 sec. If I add a dragger behavior to each arm, my mouse will move BOTH arms at the same time (and every other draggable handle in the puppet as well). Why is it that when I add multiple dragger behaviors, every draggable handle is activated no matter where I click on the puppet?

I am looking to make a character via CA. Here is the sample image Im working with.1) How can you design the side view of the face, and body in photoshop I cant find any tutorials on youtube... (It would be good to have the side of her head, not sure how you would PS this...)has anyone found any tutorial, here is my face on image (sample)Thanks

Hi, where are the character templates?  I can't seem to find them. 

Whom should I contact to get the JavaScript behavior SDK?  The "contact us" link on the behaviors page points to the forum landing page.Thanks!

Hello! I am trying to add additional mouths. I'm not sure if this can be done, but if it can can someone please put me in the right direction as to what I am doing wrong. I created 2 new layers in Photoshop for new mouths. I can see them in Character Animator and assigned triggers to them, but the triggers aren't working. Thanks!!

For some reason, no visimes are showing up? The eyeball won't turn on, but the mouth is moving??

Hi there,I have a few problems with one of my characters. I've mapped out his arms with the sticks, handle and dragger tool. When using the dragger, everything works out and bends in the way I'd like it to.. when I go to playback, the arm does the exact opposite by bending the around in the opposite direction, however, if I playback a few times more- one of those times it will work properly. (see screenshots below of the SAME snippet of a scene from 2 different playbacks) In another playback, both arms were completely bent the wrong way. I understand that sometimes if you start a playback in the middle of a recorded action- things can be distorted, however, this happens when I play back from the very beginning of the scene. Please Help! Why is there no consistency?? :*(Onto my camera problem- I use a Mac desktop with the built-in camera. Randomly, the camera will cut- out and stop working stating "No camera selected". I click the little camera button in the panel, but it won't select i

Hello everyone,I am looking to edit and add some layers to the Proteus puppet.  However, whenever I try and add a blank layer, the layer appears at the very top above the +Proteus puppet structure.  I am unable to create or drag any new layers into the puppet below the "head" subgroup.  When I try and drag blank layers in, I get a "forbidden" icon.  I haven't done anything to the structure of the puppet to change it - just opened it in Illustrator and am having issues.Is there something I need to do in order to free up this puppet so I can add new layers into it?  Thanks for the help!.

Hey all,So my sister's going to give me a webcam for  my birthday, and I have to know for sure that it will work smoothly with Character Animator (no bugs, no workarounds required, no constant issues.) This doesn't seem to be the easiest question to answer. It has to be compatible with Windows 10. After hours of misery spent trying to get 2 webcams to work that weren't more than 2 years old, and no way to get them to cooperate with Windows 10... not going through that again. I don't seem to be able to find a list of webcams that are 100% guaranteed to play nicely with this program. Does anyone know which ones these would be? Recommendations for webcams that people have tried? I would so appreciate any help in this area. Thanks!

Hi there.I followed the tutorial from okay samurai on the glasses poof trigger.It's working but, I would like to have the glasses on by default.Instead I open the scene and the glasses are off, pressing g triggers the glasses on and the poof, and viceversa.How do I set the glasses on by default ?

I've been looking for the Physics Playground example to be able to learn some of the features I was interested in earlier. I wonder where I can find this illustration or some separate elements, please.ThanksEd Ondo
