Triggers, Behaviours and Dangles don't work when recording

Hello,

I am trying to do a simple animation (still learning) in Character Animator CC 2019. My puppet is working fine, also my scene including dangles, physics and triggers but as soon as I try to start to record, it all stops working. I have the right puppet (there is only one) selected in the timeline and I think that I have everything that is supposed to be armed, armed in the properties.

I do not, however, have a webcam or a microfone, currently at my work pc, could that be the cause for the recording not to be working?

It alsdo states "Audiio too low", is it required to have a webcam to be able to record in Character Animator?

Nope, you don't have to have a webcam or other audio source to record in CH. Do you have the Puppet selected before you start recording? Also, posting a full screenshot of your interface during recording might give some clues.

    Hello, first off thank you for your response.

    Meanwhile I already got a webcam to try, because even the adobe employee I asked for help through the chat told me that I needed it... and it still does not work.

    I am sending a screenshot.

    While it is paused everything works fine but when I try recording nothing reacts...

    Hmm, well you definitely don't need a webcam. Try this: Switch to the Start workspace and open a template puppet like Dr. Applesmith, which has draggers. Don't do anything except start a recording, which should allow you to record the dragger movement.

    If this works then there's something off with your puppet or settings. If it doesn't work then there's a different issue going on.

    What are the physics controlling on your puppet? Have you tried disarming every behavior except the Dragger? That will also narrow down things if there's a conflict.
