Character Animator

Hi All, I'm trying to test out pro features of Character Animator, but the free trial really isn't a free trial, it's more of a free week before you start paying for a subscription. I've not used Character Animator before, and we've not yet committed to any software, and we'll need to be testing various software out, not just this, so commiting to this software by entering my credit card details before I've even yet to open the software up (outside of starter mode) is just unrealistic. I'd like to use the Adobe software but am not willing to throw around my credit card numbers for this fake trial.  Is there a way around this? 

Hello!I am wanting to use this product but I am trying to find out if Adobe saves the video of my face when I use the character animator?  There isn't anything blatently calling out that it does or doesn't so I wanted to make sure before continuing.  If anyone has information, it would put my mind at ease.Thank you!

Eye gaze works perfectly well on my characters Right Eye, but doesn't work at all on the Left Eye. My layer hierarchy, tags, and crown layers for both eyes are exactly the same for both eyes. Both eyeballs are tagged as "Left/Right Pupil Range", both pupils tagged as "Left/Right Pupil" The eyeballs are bigger than the pupil layers as well. Unfortunately I can't share my project file or a screenshot of the puppet as this is client work, but here's my layer hierarchy.Thanks for any help!

Hello Adobe Community!In Adobe Charcter Animator, the puppet keeps moving it's mouth even though my lips are not moving at all. I tried to choose several other default puppets and the result was the same. Lip Sync Viseme Detection is at default. All the other settings are pretty much default. I attach a video of the problem. Please help me solve this problem. Thank you

I am an Adobe Creative Cloud user. I upgraded my computer with a new motherboard and 16 GB of Ram and a 1TB solid state drive. All off the rest of my applications run fine but when Character Animator loads it greys out and gives a not responding message. I have uninstalled and then reinstalled the software but the problem is still occurring. Any ideas what my problem is?

Hi I've set up my puppet with midi triggers and i'm not sure why but in the Mouth group (on both of my puppets) when I select a midi key for 1 of the swap sets it sets it for all of the layers within. Is this a known issue and is there a way round it? Thanks

Hello everyone I'm new to character animator and long story short, I kow the origin of the puppet is supposed to turn green that way all of the body parts can be connected and rigged together correctly that way the puppet can function correctly but unfortunatley for some reason the origin of my puppet does not have the green ring around it and when I go to try and connect the body parts nothing lights up green.  At one point it did but now it doesnt.  Although I was able to still connect the body parts it does not work well with the motion library like it once did.  I believe that's why it's not working good anymore in motion library due to the origin not working correctly. May someone please help me in getting my origin to become back green and work correctly.  It will be greatly apperciated. 

How would I go about connecting 2/+ computers to OBS (all using a character animator puppet) if they are not in the same building? This would be people across the US.  Thank you!

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
