Question

Mouth Puppet

I'm new to character animator and am wondering if I could create a puppet with just a mouth, nothing else. I would like to either make my owns mouths or edit premade puppets so I can just have the mouth. I want to then upload my prerecorded audio to this mouth. Then I want to take this mouth recording and place it something else on a separate platform. Is this possible?

It sounds possible. I think you would still need a head, but you could make that transparent. This video should help you place the "head' over the video like you wamt: How To Animate Your Head (Adobe Character Animator Tutorial)

Yeah so I'm making a cartoon on this software called vyond. Just want to be able to put mouths that I make in character animator onto the characters in vyond. I just wanted to be sure I could do what I want before I buy. So are you for sure I could make everything except the mouth transparent? And I would be able to put the mouth on top of something else and you would just see the mouth? Like nothing else would be blocking the thing I'm trying to paste the mouth on? If so, could you possibly show me an example of this or tell me how to do this?

No, I cannot say with certainty that you can do this thing, as there are a lot of possible things that could get in the way of what you want to do. While it works pretty well, Character Animator still sometimes behaves unpredictably depending on your hardware configuration. Additionally, I do not know if the software by itself is available without an Adobe subscription - mainly because it needs other programs (like Photoshop or Illustrator) to edit its content. I am surprised that the software you mention does not offer mouth synchronization. In my experience, I don't think this will get you the results you are looking for.
