The camera in character animate is is unbearably slow. I have a mac book pro with 8 gb ram, using the default webcam. I've tried to reset my PRAM also and the camera is still slow. Any fixes?
Found my own fix. I had to open up FaceTime prior to opening up character animate. No idea why it works this way.

The camera has very low fps, even with the blank face template & while i am not recording. I know the problem isn't my camera, because it works fine on any other application. I've even closed everything on my computer and had character animate the only one open, and it still has the same issue.

What version of Character Animator are you running? Did you try the option to limit the camera's FPS to 12?
Did you by any chance run across this thread? Low fps in camera
DanTull​ from the Character Animator team had some suggestions. Perhaps he's discovered something new since that post in December?

Yes I've seen that thread, and the only solution that was stated was to reset PRAM, and it did not work. Limiting the fps to 12fps only makes it worse.

There was also the suggestion of making sure the app has permission to use the camera, if you're on Mojave. I'm going to ask around and see if anyone has some insight into this issue.

Hi kylem,
I am glad that you got it fixed. However, this does not sound ideal that the performance gets better by opening and closing any other application. I am assuming the performance could have been affected because some other application was utilizing the resources in the background. I'd like to analyze the performance and see if there is any pattern to it.
Though I hope it works smoothly for you , let me know if you face the issue again.
Thanks,
Shivangi

Which version of Character Animator are you using? I've seen this in version 1.5 with a Logitech C920 on a Mac Pro cylinder. In my case, the camera image in the Camera & Microphone panel was updating about 1fps, so the facetracking was predictably terrible. In my case, using another application to access the camera would restore proper functionality.
We rewrote our camera handling in version 2.0(I think it was 2.0) and this bug was fixed. Can you confirm which version of CH you're on?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem in low light environment,
I have the latest version of Adobe Character Animator v 2.1.1
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)
macOS Mojave 10.14.5
Processeur 2,3 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 16 Go 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536 Mo
FaceTime HD Camera
With other Application i have the same problem in low light except with facetime.
The camera try to compensate the low light situation by imposing low framerate.
But i don't find how to disable this option.
Any idea ?
Thank's in advance.
David
