Feature Requests

Hi, can you please add an option to edit camera triggers after creating them? I wish i could just double click on camera in the timeline and edit it

It would be very helpful for workflow speed if we could assign hotkeys for arming specific behaviors and puppet tracks. Instead of having to mouse over to the puppet to disarm it so that I can see it's current position, a quick keyboard shortcut would really help. Same with the item behaviors - if I have the Dragger armed, but I want to turn it off and instead use the mouse for Eye Gaze, I have to scroll through all the behaviors and find the ones I want to arm/disarm. If each behavior had an assignable hotkey, it would be much better.

Not sure if anyone has thought of this. however when we move our eyebrows our ears move.  I have just recently put my ears in my eyebrow groups. to create more excitement in my character. you guys at adobe should figure out how to make this transition better. I have played with it so much there isnt much more i can do. I have also noticed  that  seperate arm and limb mirror movement should be added.

My job requires me to create scenes in Character Animator, export them to MP4, and then string several of them together to make a complete video in Premiere Pro.I can import an audio file--together with the transcript--into Character Animator for the lip sync function.Then, when I import the MP4 file into Premiere Pro, I have no option but to have PP programmatically create the captions by interpreting them from the imported audio file. When that process is complete, I usually have a ton of cleanup and editing work to do.My request: In Character Animator, create a File > Export > Captions function that will export the captions in a format that can be dragged and dropped into Premiere Pro. For example, you can drag and drop any of these formats into the Project Panel in PP, and then drag and drop them into the Timeline: DFXP, MCC, SCC, SRT, STL, and XML (W3C timed text).The timing of when the words are spoken in Character Animator are already in its Timeline--down to the hund

It would be a great feature to have mesh warp in Character animator, similar to one that exists in After effects. With very simple mesh warping it's possible to do so many things to achieve natural looking movement. 

I have a character with 50+ costumes, props, and more, and I have to create separate Ai files to ensure that performance stays high and that extra artwork does not interfere with the rigging. It would be great to have an option where Ch would not import layers hidden in the Ai file, or you could select layers to be ignored when importing the Ai file.Essentially, Ch would create its own working Ai file that it would render, pulling in only the assets I tell it to. This would make things much easier to manage, eliminating the need for having multiple Ai files and Ch projects for the same character. 

I guess this goes under the improvements category. Any timeline on Ch being ready to go with macOS Ventura? Three and a half months since Ventura was released.

sometimes we need compare 2 scenes with some changes, this feature would be ideal for this

It is very counterproductive and takes up a lot of my time to fix it.

With that feature, the user could customize detailed Headturns or have more control when animating items like headphones or glasses.

in adobe CH You can put as many characters into a scene as you want, but there's no current way to control 2 heads/voices with one webcam.it would be awesome to put that feature

I had to move my original puppet from one folder to another. I couldn't reroute any of the attributes so I had to start with the rigging from scratch.

уже неделю пытаюсь хоть что-то минимальное получить, но так и никакого результата. Хотел просто чуть-чуть анимировать рисунки в детской книжке сделанной в Indesign для электронной версии. Чтобы не делал, но фон остается черным. Результат совсем никакой.

It would be awesome if adobe adds a feature to support multiple character animation and rig in one scene

The scale and anchor points now are set but won't remain unless you record them. If you touch any other behavior before recording, they disappear, causing you to have to re-enter them. These are so basic to where a character is in a scene and need to just have them inputed in an easier and more stable fashion, such as typing in a box.

Need a way to figure out what's happening in the timeline with regard to position keyframes

This would let the user fully customize and improve advanced headturns (made through stacking multiple Face Behaviors).

Snapchat style 3d mask building and face augmenting. Soemthing that feels less paper cut. Maybe allow us to mix our real eyes in with cartoon features. I know this is a big ask, but character animator is a bit underwhelming when you see the possibilities in something like Snapchat face filters (lenses)

Need to re-link missing files.

One thing that I could see to be helpful, not only in my puppet designs, but just generally in character animator is the option to invert the way the camera reads the facial movements. How I see this working is to create a little check box that says "invert" next to it, and all it does is invert the way the assets of your puppet reacts to your face.Nutcracker Jaw: Invert [ x ]Examples:Nutcracker jaw closing when your mouth is open.Eyes looking left when you look right.Eyebrows moveing down when you rais them.It's a very little thing, but I can see some very intersting applications that this could be used for.

The snapping of the head to different views isn't a big deal if you are using the pose to pose feature. It really stands out however when pose to pose is off. I would like a few in-between states for the head turns.

I saw the option "OK hands", but still the character is stretched like an elastic band. I would like to give a parameter forbidding the bones to open: Hands - shoulder, front of the shoulder (forearm), foot - thigh, lower leg. There were times when the elbow jumped when recording animations across the screen. (ate not put a point on the elbow)

Please create a setting(s) for creating a more accurate "lip sync from scene audio". Maybe leave the current way it's done for people who want it done with the current quality/time, but allow people to choose a much higher quality setting (and let the software run for 10x the current time if necessary). I currently spend many hours fixing the visemes for my dialogue (at least 30 hours for a 30 minute animation). There isn't one string of dialogue that I don't have to fix.Is this possible?

Currently you typically have a HEAD group in front of the BODY (so the chin is in front of the neck etc. You may also have front hair dangling in front of the body as well.But it is hard to have +HEAD (an independent group) and rear hair (to be displayed behind the BODY). The front and rear hair should be both controlled by the head movement.It would be nice to have a better way of having rear hair attached to head movements, but be behind the body.I would suggest having a +REARHAIR group as a pattern, so depth of layers controls depth of display, but where you can “attach” the rear hear to the +HEAD group which is not a parent.(A few approaches have been suggested in the forums, but none of them work properly. I only get rear hair to work when HEAD is not an independent group, so BODY and HEAD and REARHAIR are all part of the same group.)
