Character Animator

Does anybody know about Character Animator? I installed AE already and tried to crack the license error of Character Animator, but I cannot open it properly. Always says OpenGL... screen seems like blank. Blahblah blah....How to fix it?How to install Character Animator properly?

Next Wednesday, Red Monster will be live answering your questions on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBUOKI22hzIThey don't have to be Character Animator related (just keep it clean and fun).You can also tweet questions ahead of time using the hashtag #redmonsterlive.Hope to see you there!

Hi guysI recorded my puppet with the scene set to:     304 sec duration, at 24 fps, with a width and height of 1000px x1300 px.my finished recording stops at frame 1707 and the time is 00:01:11:03.so I changed the W X H to 500 x 650 and reduced the duration to 71 sec ( which i'm calculating as the actual length of my movie)  and I left the duration he same at 24 fps.I then export the scene to Media Encorder, left it at the default setting but my mp4 when it plays is black and you only see the puppet every few seconds.I'm looked through all the tutorials to see if I can find where I made my mistake but can't figure it out. I did it a couple of times but no difference.Any ideas??!!thanksDenise

Hello. All the tutorials operate with standing characters. May someone advice me how the chain of independence/attaching/draging handles have to look like to sit down the character on the chair for example? I was playing enough with standing or walking figure but stuck with realistic sitting movement.Like if I'd want to put the blue monster from the welcome window on a chair which points and where I have to put on his body? And what the "paranting" order has to be in it? Maybe someone faced such a task and can help me out.Thank you a lot in advance.

Hey Guys,Just a quick one to see if anyone else has encountered this whilst using character animator. I was having a few problems with making my hands being dragable, so I attempted to toggle on "show mesh" just to see how the character was working together. As soon as i did this though my computer displayed an error message as follows: Internal Error Code: (1682591070:2292+11) attempt to index a nil valuethe message continued to pop up every time i attempted to do anything after this and wouldn't allow me to continue until i restarted the programme.Anybody encountered this before or have a quick fix ? RegardsHumberstone83

Please help! Animator crashed on me and now when I open my scene my puppet is a group of colored blocks (in both the puppet panel and scene panel)with the words background, left arm etc.. I've tried restarting a few times and also refreshing the scene but no change.Anyone any ideas ?I have a lot of trouble with the app crashing on my laptop (which is pretty new).Denise

i want to use my puppet on twitch but the cpu usage of character animator is between 20% and 45%. is this normal?maybe the camera is using too much cpu? there is a way to disable the camera preview and still use the face capture?there is a plan to make an app for use the finished puppet so i dont have to have the editor open so i can save cpu usage?.because obs+game+ch animator i will get 100% cpu and thats not good.

Hi,I just bought a Logitech C270 HD webcam. It works fine with Skype and all other software only with Character Animator it does not. I tried "switch to next camera". The panel becomes dark ... .Thanks for any Help

Hi there.I've got a problem with getting the draggable handles working properly.After experimenting with the default puppets, I eventually made a puppet from scratch in Ps. I couldn't get the draggables working, so rebuilt it but that was no good so eventually copied the parts across into the working puppet, Max. However, the problem persisted. It's same issue I've seen documented elsewhere - that is, the dragging the arms pulls the body with it. I've read all the relevant forum queries and viewed the relevant videos in detail. I've tried all manner of combinations with no success. You name it. I've done it. As I said, I finally copied the Ps parts into a working puppet thinking that would fix things, but not so. I've spent too many hours on this.Can any one help?Cheers,Matthew.Photoshop CC (2017)After Effects CC (2017)Chacter Animator CC (Beta)Windows 7 SP1, 64 bitASUS G73Jh, i7 1.60 GHz

Hello!When I move Ca recording to Premier Pro, a blurry film seems to overlay the recording when it plays. Any ideas for getting rid of the blurry "overlay"? Thanks!

Good afternoon,I would like to be able to control my puppets eyes with my mouse for a recording pass instead of with a camera. When I set this up, my mouse controls only one eye pupil. Is there a way to do both (without camera input)? Thanks!Ryan

I defo don't have the time to make my own puppets? There should be a stock lib of puppets in this program for sure.

Hello, I've been experimenting with Character Animator and creating puppets and backgrounds for my animation shorts. I'm proficient with Photoshop and Illustrator, and I'm getting better and better with CA.The majority of the tutorials I see use CA as a base for creating/recording animations/puppets, and After Effects as the finishing app. I don't have any experience with AE, and I'd like to know where should I look for tutorials to help me learn some if the basics. I find lots of tutorials for the many abilities of AE, but I'm speciafically interested in something to help with creating animations, incorparating backgrounds, etc.Any suggestions? Thank you!

I'm working on this puppet, and when I close my eyes or lower my eyelids, the head and the hair scale down in "y", unlike the eyeballs, which remain the same. I would actually to get the opposite behaviour.Please advise, thanks!

I'm finally investing time in Ch again, and can finally build a somewhat respectable puppet.My latest is a "Rasta Man", who is sporting twelve dread-locks, all anchored and dangling nicely in my scene.  All other movements are smooth too.But the mouth, which I've used before with a different puppet, looks like someone suffering a stroke in my scene. Is it VRAM maybe?

Hi there!I have a question/problem about/ with Dynamic Links from Animator to After Effects. If you may could help me, that would be really great!The problem:When I import the Animator File to After Effects it works perfectly and quite quick.  But when I put it into a composition it takes very long and I have to wait because AE gives no more feedback. So it takes a lot of time to respond. After that I can put my scene (animator composition) into the main composition but when I try to let the scene play in AE, the rendering is very very slow. Even with the lowest resolution. Could there be anything wrong with my settings? Or could it be, that AE needs more RAM?I may have to inform you, that the animator scene is really big (3 times HD-size -> 5760 x 3240) because I have to zoom the main composition later and the main composition also has some animation done with DUIK (wich gives the problem, that I can not use the continuously rasterize button (I work with AI- Illustrations). If

What to do if it said camera busy? It will not do anything that I need it to do.

Looking for a little help with character setup.  I have this character with a chain attached to the glasses that I want to apply a dangle modifier to.  The chain is a sublayer of the head (in front of hair), and is supposed to go behind the shoulders of the character (right now each chain section ends at the shoulders).  I can't find a way to make this work, since the head layer is stacked above the body/neck layers, but the chain needs to go behind the shoulders.  It is entirely possible that the solution is right in front of me, but I've been staring at it too long to recognize it.Thanks,Pat

When I select the beginner's guide to learn and support for Adobe Character Animator, what will it install, as i already have the app install within the Adobe Creative Cloud apps group.  I only want to learn how to use the software.  Please advise.  Thanks.

Hello,    I work in an environment where I cannot have a webcam. Is it possible to pre-record a video and then bring it into character animate to use instead of using a live webcam?Thank you!

I think I've read that I can control my puppet with two fingers, using a touch surface. I assume that's a PC or MacBook with a touch screen... is it possible to incorporate an iPad Pro into using Character Animator?
