Is this supposed to be only a supplement to Affter Effects?

I've been searching online and in the forums and there is almost zero information on dealing on the placement of characters and backgrounds in the scene other than "do it in After Effects." Shouldn't editing the scene in After Effects be just as important as the plethora of videos concerning editing the puppets in Photoshop and Illustrator? What am I missing?

No, some projects you can definitely accomplish entirely in Character Animator without needing After Effects. 

The current method for placing a character and background into a scene is to use the Transform behavior. I created a short video showing how to do that.

My first attempt at this was pretty straight foward. I created a scene in Ai (178 layers) imported it into Ch along with charactors and simply placed the charactors between the layers where I wanted them.

As far as I understand it has been created in Character Animator only. There are tutorials on how it's been made.
