Ok it has been a few months since I dove into Character Animator.
I created a character, where he has 5 outfits that he can change into. Just like the old video that Dave shared of the Iron Man like character, I could toggle between the versions. Luckily the changes are not animated.
Or... I could record each separately. Then edit the clips together.
What sounds easier?
Note: Each character is full of layers. I know how to max out Illustrator. So it has tons of layers: gradients, shadows, clipping masks, etc.

The other question. I am using a background photo. Should I animate the character completely in Character Animator with the background saved as a jpg? Or is it easier to bring the character into After Effects after I do the recording?
What is easier? Granted I have never really used After Effects.

Other question, once everything is done... if I decide to add music can I do so in Adobe Premiere. Just background light soft, nothing loud... but something to make it more interesting. Can I do that?

Needless to say this is a pretty big project that I have been slowly working on when I can. But I finally want to finish it.
