Rotation of head

Question

Hi.I used to use Adobe Characte Animator alot when it first came out and i had a lot of fun watching OkaySamurai on Youtube and learning from him. I used my face to create animated movements. I later started using Adobe After Effects for my character animation just because the head movements in Adobe Character Animator were not very suitable for my style of videos. Like using rotation keyframes for Head using Adobe After Effects looks really smooth and professional, where as tilting the characters head in Adobe Character Animator using face camera was always not very smooth and shaky, no matter what settings i used. I am curious if theres any update on Adobe Character animator where i can tilt my characters head using buttons, and not my face ? Thank you

If you search around for tutorials on using MIDI with Character Animator, what you're trying to do should be possible. There's even software to translate gamepad stick movements and button presses to MIDI. I'll defer to the tutorials, but I think the usual approach is to use transform behaviors instead to directly apply position and rotation to particular parts of the puppet.
