Character Animator

Greetings Everyone,I have a problem like this;When I export my character, which moves smoothly in Character Animator, as an alpha channel, it gives an error.Media encoder is up to date by the way,You can see what I'm trying to understand from the Drive link.To overcome this, I did the following and it didn't work:- I deleted the character from CH, imported it again and rigged it again,-I updated the media encoder-I tried to export alpha channels in different formats.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mZHcpLx_NYEsrqOT3C7UT1wM9BKQmdeQ/view?usp=share_link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hL9wtQjSFQqKMs_OfU0z0YS8THYIslK0/view?usp=share_link 

Dear CH folks, I am rigging my Charcter and have almost finished. But when I try recording it, my character movements are jittery. I tried other "complicated" characters from @oksamurai and dont have this issue. I also noticed that the actual FPS is lower than the scene settings (I am not sure if this cause the problem tho and i dont know how to fix it, either :D).Please watch it in this video: https://vimeo.com/901563229/ddfa53801b You help is really appreciated. Thank you so much for your time,Tony

Hi, I was just curious if you can add somekind of an affect once the particle collides for example i have a snow ball with the particle physics system i collide it with a box once it collides the snow ball breaks and the box which is a cycle layer (In short i want them to break once they collide with each other) is there a way to do it live i know i can do it while recording and stuff but i want to make a mini game for a live class. If you can't will there be somekind of a system once it collides a trigger activates in the future. Thank you.

Is it possible for anyone to help me rig my character? I have everything seperated in layers, and I have the mouth chart included for talking, i just kinda forgot how to rig being that i didnt do it in about 3 years. The blink for the eyes is in the eye layers. i want my puppet's head to be movable and so as the body so it can rock back and forth....and i want the chain to have a dangle effect....Please someone help me rig my character....Thank You in advance

Hello everyone!! I am working on an animation project and have encountered a few minor issues with the final stages. First, how can I adjust the shoulders and arms to make them look more realistic and natural. It seems that the shoulders "round" out when the hands and bend down to the side. Second, when moving the arms the elbow bend is quite strange. It seems to be a rounded bend rather than at an angle. Also, when the hands move over the shoulder area, they come behind the should but in front of the torso. Im sure this is as easy as adjusting limb IK, but I have tried everything! Please offer suggestions/advice. I will attach some reference pictures below.

Hi, I have been working with CH for a couple of months now and I have a couple of really beefy scenes that are causing some lag and it is hard to work like this. I have seen some videos by digital puppets saying you can lower the resolution and resize your puppets to help with this but those videos seem dated. Is this really the best workaround? I have about 10 characters for this scene and they are all moving a bunch and are using the camera for different shots. This is in CH and I have yet to export this to AE. Would exporting it to AE and then using the render feature help with the lag? Would I export the entire scene including all the characters or do a scene for each character and then line them up in AE? Just trying to learn the best way to do things because I am still new to this stuff. 

When exporting a recording in Adobe Character Animator using "scene camera" to Media Encoder the size of the scene readjusts itself to make the cut larger.  Does anybody have an idea why this readjusting happens? I've already tried rebooting and also taking off other animations in the scene.Please note, this doesn't happen with other scenes.Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Just wondering if there is a good resource for buying puppets. I'm not an artist. So, I don't want to try and start from scratch. I'm looking for normal human characters.

In an Adobe Illustrator project we have a rectangle and a circle that we want to animate separately with the Transfer tool in Adobe Character Animator.

Hello,I'm new to Animator and looking to resize a puppet and drag it to the corner of the scene. However, anytime I try to click and drag the character, it remains rooted to the spot in the centre of the screen.  Any advice on how to fix this would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Is there a roadmap or some resources that show future features as well as what is being worked on currently? Seems like the feature updates have slowed since the motion library and there are alot of features that are needed. I have been using Rive for web animations lately and the UI and UX is such a nice relief from CA. I truly recommend that the CA dev team study other animation softwarea a bit more and start incorporating those commonalities.  The tools at the moment are too restrictive and based on specific rigs. Unfortunately. Alot of workarounds are needed to do anything outside of the current setup. There should be advanced and basic controls.  Instead of face, I'd like an unlabeled component wrapper or container that i can assign behaviors to.Face should be the basic, but advanced should have divs or containers with lots of options for behaviors, etc. Make it more capable of working with timelines, behavior groupings, flexible/rubber bone

When working in a CH project is there a way to easily delete a range of everything during that block of 5 seconds or so. Here is an example. I have a large scene with many characters and they all have their own lines. During the writing process, I had a narrator reading the lines of what would happen on the screen. Now that I no longer need the narrator there are lots of long silent parts of my scene I would like to trim down. How would I do this? Would I need to go back into my daw and trim those parts out and then re-render my Visemes and line them all up? I see there is a split option but I do not like how this creates a duplicate of that track. Is there a better workflow to do this? 

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong - everything is set up supposedly correctly yet none of my additional mouth movements (ah, d, ee, f, l, m, oh, r, s, uh, w-oo) will sync with my facial movements when I try to record through calibrating with my webcam. They are all set up in the AI file and set up in the Character Animator file, and I linked them. The only ones that will work are the default neutral, smil, and surprise.Any tips?? Thanks!

I made a parallax head.And saved it as Puppet.That's when I'm import again, His face shadow and ears are resetting automatically, And I gave face parallax 200, that too is becoming 100 automatically. I have to do everything all over again,Please let me know how to fix it. Thank you

Is there any way to load a puppet into something that will allow you to view what the puppet looks like so if you had hundreds of puppets, you could quickly scroll through them and choose what puppets you will be using in projects?With a large number of puppets it's hard to remember what each one looks like from just a filename or puppet name.  A way to quickly load and view without haveing to load it up in CA application which would be very time consuming.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I don't want to have to start all over!

Is there a way to horizontally flip a puppet in character animator? Please help thanks.

When I click on the Record tab, the tab is selected and highlighted in bold, but it only opens the Rig tab. I cannot use the Record tab at all. Could anyone kindly help please?

I concider myself an advaced user and created lots of cartoons. I used compute speech from Audio and transcripts for every thing. Then I pick compute head movement from audio. Most puppets have 3 or 5 head views and it always picks a left quarter or left profile view when computing head movement. Never has it selected to turn to a right view. I typically keep each view independent with it's parent head not independant depending on if I want the body to shift or not. I typically have them ordered with +right profile, +Right Quarter, +Front, +Left Quarter, +Left Profile. I have changed the order to see if that effects it. The head turner behavier list all 5 views. I have done this with mutiple puppets over the last two years and I tend to delete the head turn and  set my own turns and keep only the movement. I'm sure I have tried the premade puppets to see if it changes. Never once has it used either Right Views. Is there anything I can do to influnce it's selection?

I have a really strange problem and I cannot work out how to solve it - please can you help as I am under immense pressure to get this done.So, I have a character/puppet which has some Xmas antlers on his head. They are there in the AI file, but when I bring them into CA, they do not show up and I cannot understand why.If I go into rig mode, the putline seems to indicate that they are there, yet I still don't see them.It was working fine in v23.6 - I upgraded to V24 and then the problem occurred. But even when I reinstalled the older version the problem persists.I have attached the AI file here.Please helpThank you!

I am working on animating a character with a Unibrow. The character has a very smooth and fluid brow so creating two brows that overlap is not ideal. Any help in how to rig that would be helpful.
