Character Animator

Hello, community. I would like to modify my voice in a live stream, is there any way character animator can change for example the pitch of my voice and output it so that it will sound different in my live stream? I have a deeper voice than what I want my character to sound like. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. It has to work while streaming live because the activity requires it. Thanks again

I for some reason have two mouths showing up in my artwork, I looked to see if I had an extra one enabled in photoshop, but nothing is out of the ordinary, anybody know whats up? 

I get an error message: Could connect, please verify that Character animator is installed. (86::1). While the Ch is actually installed and running. Any solution to this error? Thanks

Hello!  I'm having some problems with the mouth of my character. The shapes look perfect in illustrator and in the puppet panel but in the scene they have a little deformation (as if one half of the mouth is a few pixels higher). I try everything but nothing seems to work. Some ones what it might be? Thank you!!

Hello!! 🙂 I am a beginner and I have created my very fist puppet. I checked for rigging issues and I have fixed everything in the list. My character have legs and I fixed her legs to stay stable but she is stiff with no head movement. When I move on camera her entire body moves and I do not know how to fix that issue. I have attached a photo for you to review. Can some please give me so advice? Thank you!  

This is a silly oversight by ADOBE. Please add a text headers to these CHPROJ files."ADOBE CC - (c)2023" should do it.It just won't work with Dropbox and potentially other archive ad backup applications. Having to ZIP these is a waste of time.PS: AS a reminder, please don't bother to tell me to Zip these files. The workflow doesn't work this way when sharing with others via Dropbox.Windows OS 11Version 23.1Saving a file always is 0 KThe expected result is a 1K file minimum!

HiI'm getting the aforementioned warning on my puppet and it is driving me a little crazy because it keeps popping up over the timeline when i'm trying to edit stuff. I think it it set up correctly because Body, Limb IK and Motion Library are all on the base puppet layer:The ML animation works fine so I don't know what the problem is. I don't think I have these behaviours on any other layer inside my puppet but it's hard to check properly without going through everything (unless there is a quick and easy way to see all behaviours and where they are - if there is i'd love to know!) Any idea why this is happening?

My company archives all their projects to DrobBox, but because a .chproj file contains zero bytes, Dropbox won't copy it. So...how do I archive my .chproj files?

will there ever be a version of character animator available for ipad?

good day, my camera turns off when I want to act while standing, why is it working only in conversation

Character Animator works with virtual webcams and NDI input/outputs, but it doesn't work with Logitech Capture. Logitech Capture is free, lightweight, simple, bloatware free and just easy to use. If Character Animator could recognize it as a camera source that would be fantastic. If anyone knows a way to make this happen even better.

I have a puppet with different head views. The eyelids on one of the eyes behave oddly in any of the side views (puppet attached). The layer structure is as follows: Here's a screen shot of the bevaiour:The tags seem to be applied correctly to the layers

I am having an issue in Motion Library, where my Left Arm is swinging perfectly, but my Right Arm is swinging inverted. I can't figure out why?

When I import a Character Animator Scene into After Effects, there is a significant color/luminance shift. Everything is much darker and contrasty. Now I can fix this with a Lumetri effect by raising the contrast but I want to get to the bottom of this. I exported the same scene from Charatcer Animator and dropped it into After Effects. No color shift. I imported the PSD File from the puppet. No color shift. Now when I change the color space in After Effects to something like Rec 709, then the EXPORT (H264) changes color and matches with the Dynamic Link Scene (so they both have the same awful color shift now) BUT the PSD File stays the same (correct color display). Now if I export a PNG from Character Animator there is no color shift. Please hlep me understand what is going on here. Or maybe there already exists a tutorial on After Effects and color spaces? 

did a change and want to do smething now, but get this error? what can I do? help 

Hi everyone, I'm having problems getting the Hair Back my character to dangle. There are a few sublayers — none of which seems to be different, meaning if you disable the top Hair Back and disable the bottom Hair layers, it disables the same thing. I have applied the dangles to the top layer and moved the origin to her forehead. I'm also confused because each sublayer has another orgin. Regardless which orgin I move, it doesn't light up green. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙂 - David 

Hi! I'm having a problem with mouth triggers. The neutral position works fine, but half the face disappears when I witch to the Ah or the smile. See attached video or link below. Any help would be appreciated.  https://capture.dropbox.com/bzmiD9P5Fj4l4a7M Thank you!

Hi there Adobe CommunityI have seen the demo video of this Beta version of CH and subsequently downloaded it, and was looking forwarded to getting my puppet to do some funky dance moves (ha ha) using my Son's Band.I should say that I am new to CH, I have searched for an answer to this question on the web and on the forums but failed to find and answer.Would one of you clever people kindly point me in the right direction?ThanksNewby 

Hello community, I made my puppet walk but I still have a few problems. I hope you can help!  On every layer: The hips are making weird things while walking. They are kind of moving up and down.  2. On every layer: The line of the pants is misplaced while walking. Maybe it's the layers structure in Illustrator and the pants and legs need to be arranged differently?    3. On layer „Trikot“: The number 8 is moving up and down.      4. On layer „Weihnachten“: The elements on the shirt are distorted.       Here is the link for downloading my project/puppet: https://we.tl/t-xpQ8en4y8T Thanks in advance! 🙂

I'm wondering if CA is versatile enough for me to make a short animation (for a wedding proposal)... Dave/Okay Samurai in his videos sometimes talks about importing puppets to AE and animating backgrounds and everything else in there. Will the manipulation tools in CA restrict what i will be able to do? There will be several scenes, some with trippy effects like warping into a portal or something. If CA isn't good enough what would you recommend out of AE of AA?

HiI'm rigging up 2 puppets but am having trouble with an area around the waist distorting up and down at a point when they walk. One of them also distorts at the feet when walking and i'm not sure why because it's rigged up exactly the same as the other puppet which looks fine. I've tried adding horizontal stick tool lines which does help but doesn't fix the issue. I've just uploaded the 1 puppet that has both of the issues, if anyone could take a look i'd really appreciate it 🙂 SM Puppet Google Drive Link   

So what I'm trying to do is create a puppet in Character Animator whose limbs move as if they're attached by those paper fastener pins (below)As far as I am aware, I can't use Arm IK because that always adds an elbow, which I don't want. What I'm kind of after is this effect shown in the two images below (if you know what the source material is then I'm very sorry);(Sorry for the bad quality, I really had to go digging.) As you can see, the above character's lower arms pivot around the elbow point, and the upper arms pivot around the shoulder point, if that makes sense. I literally don't know if this is possible in Character Animator either, although i did manage to find something close around the 6:30 mark of the 'Adobe Character Animator: 40 Secrets' video, in which he used transform behavious on segmented arm layers to create a similar effect:As great as this is, it seems that it isn't possible to have the lower arm layer over the top of the uper arm, as the lower arm cannot co

Hello, I'm trying to stream on various platforms, but when I open another browser to view the feed, it's low resolution. - My internet speed is very fast (did a speed check)- I use OBS and have the appropriate settings in place (or so I think)- I have an Nvidia card, and use the hardware encoder (NVENC) I can't find the bottleneck. And I don't think this would be due to my webcam?? Since I'm using it soley for motion capture.  Any help will be appreciated. 

Hi I'm having issues with my character's walk cycle. I have the puppet rigged with the proper views (front, left, and right) but I'm getting a weird issue with the character bending down more when he starts walking to the left. When he faces the right the issue is gone- could this be an issue with handles or the actual walk cycle behavior, and all three views are scaled correctly also. Here are some screen shots of the puppet walking, the rig and the walk cycle parameters. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

I just noticed this secret in one of Dave's videos and I am trying to get it to work, but it won't lay the trigger down. It would be a huge help to be able to go back into replays, make changes, and overwrite existing ones. How can I get this to work? https://youtu.be/sv--jURQOGc?t=104
