When I link my recorded puppet to Premier, all of the recordings are available, except for the Body Tracker movements.  Is this feature available via the dynamic link in Premier?  Thanks!!

Correct answer CoSA_DaveS

Use the Beta version of Premiere Pro and it should work. (Dynamic Link only communicates betas to betas, so in your case if you're using the regular version of PPro you're also using the regular version of Ch to render the dynamic link, which doesn't have the Body behavior).

Thanks Dave!

Well, here's my first attempt to use this feature.  I am not an animator, but love using this tool for Instructional Design/eLearning.  I'm currently working on a course that includes dance instruction for kids and this option would be great as I was mostly planning on using live video, with other interactive features.  So, this song, Macarena, probably wasn't the best selection for Hopscotch, but I'll review rigging modes and see what other puppets might work.  I gave up getting the frog to jump.  Ideas?

Great product, btw!!!

If you crank up the Head Position Strength under the Face behavior to 400%, I think you'll be able to get Hopscotch to jump better. Also, if you increase the Ankle Flexibility in the Limb IK behavior, that might provide more natural looking ankle bend for a jump.

 

P.S. I love Macarena Froggie! So fun!
