Getting Started with Character Animator

The rectangle is because the puppet is bigger than the scene view. The rectangle is what will be in the video when you export it. So you need to use the Transform behavior Scale property to reduce the size (e.g. try 30%). I don't know why the puppet always defaults so big - but it is common to need to scale it down.

Normally heads are attached to bodies and then the body might have the feet pinned to the ground. Because you don't have all that the head is kinda floating in space. If you pin the head it won't move (because its pinned). What I suggest you do is create a "+MyPuppet" root layer and put "Head" and "Body" under that. Put another oval for the body. Then pin the body so it does not move. The Head then has something to move relative to.

Note: the head will not move in the rigging mode, only the scene.

Another thing you will need to start understanding is when to make something independent and when not too. Too much (or too little) independence will cause problems. Think of it this way - if you drew the artwork on a sheet of rubber, when would you want to start a new piece of rubber so things can slide around vs when do you want to just distort the current sheet of rubber. For example, eyelids moving up and down frequently you want independent so that face around them does not work - the eyelides move by themselves. So eyelids are common, as is the mouth. But I notice you have a Face layer inside the Face layer (at the bottom) which is independent again. You probably don't want that. You only want independence when something should move without affecting things around it (like the mouth or pupils). Dangling hair is another one. The nose I don't make independent. The big oval for the face should not be independent. Don't use independence unless you need to.

Also when I set rest pose it maps out my face and everything so the camera seems to be working fine, I just dont know how to make the puppet face follow my moves. Thank you again
