Compute Head Movement From Speech Stops Working After Certain Duration

[Mr Zaam]

Hi, I am currently using version Character Animator 25.0 and I uses the "Compute Head Movement From Speech" features a lot since 2-3 years ago, I've noticed that since some version updated around last year, the comput head movement from speech feature would stop working for longer videos. In some scenes it works until around 6:30, in some scenes it works until around 2:00, its quite random, maybe it depends on the speech track?

So any solution to this? or is that a real bug that needs look into, thanks!

If you haven't done so already, report the bug from within Character Animator by clicking on the "feedback" icon in the upper right corner. One thing I wanted clarification on was whether or not the issue has any connection to the selected length of the scene in the timeline.

Hi, Thanks foir the reply, the report bugs button actually takes me to this forum.

And I don't think it has anything to do with the selected work area in the timeline, I've tried to select the whole duratoion my clips, and the head movement still just stop after a couple of minutes.

I actually had to try the feedback link myself to confirm what you said is ttrue. I am now beginning to question my memory, because I am almost positive that in the past those three feedback links did not originally all go to the same page. I'm afraid that I never really used that particular feature because it didn't give me the results I was looking for, so I don't know what could be causing your problem.

This bug is still not fixed. I upload my puppet and mp3 audio and when I compute the head movement it is a glitch and slow. They really need to fix this bug!

I am also facing this issue on mac OS and Windows. This feature was working I believe back in 2021 so not sure what they did to break this. I know it doesn't compute perfect, but for my purpose I just want it to decently compute. I am surprised they haven't fix this either. Its been over four years!

So I've disocovered that Adobe Character Animator 24.0 could get "compute head movement from speech" working properly without stopping a 5-6 minutes of clip length, my current solution is to keep a version 24.0 just to use this feature. I really hope this bugs gets fixed in the next update. Thanks!!
