1. Introduce a shy (like in AE) option in the timeline layer stack to focus on specific layers.

   In some cases it would be nice to be able to work on just one visible layer in the timeline. A shy option like in After Effects would help you decide what layers should be active in a certain moment.

2. Behavior Strength Percentage

   An overall "Strength" parameter for behaviors. I have some eyebrows that are going to high in my position take. Just take the behavior strength down to compensate.

   While we don’t have a “global” strength setting for behaviors, eyebrow strength is a parameter in face behavior. See your properties panel.

3. Can I create my own character with Kyle's brushes?

   I find character easy to use but I don't like working with a template. I want to feel some ownership in my ideas. Can you create your own character with Kyle's brushes to create the same effect? Wouldn't it be neat if you make Character Animation blend with Adobe Rush somehow?

   I was thinking the templates would be customizable like in Adobe XD.

5. Character Animator needs documentation and logical tools for people who make puppets

   Character Animator needs documentation and logical tools for people who make puppets. It currently is the worst workflow I have every experienced.

   Trying to do anything innovative and outside the specs of the premade puppets is a freaking nightmare. It's like navigating a landmine without a metal detector. 90% of my time is trying logical processes that end up failing almost everytime. Spending weeks to get simple processes to work together like walk and limb ik is just a struggle because the CA team didn't account for the fact that users would want a puppet with several behaviors together.

   Unfortunately almost everything is tied in to the same functions and all sorts of conflicts occur.

   a list of the annoyances so far.

   1. Head turn and walk requires a workaround - neck to be added to head instead of body. this causes limb ik issues.

   2. Shareable puppets require behaviors in the shareable rather than the root of the puppet. Shareable heads end up with tons of redundant behaviors. 1 for each view.

   3. So many videos by Werner have incorrect info. Took 3 days to realize that my limb ik wasn't working because I followed Dave's instruction. Once I tried adding handles to the body instead of legs, everything worked. This misinformation has occurred many times.

   4. Mirroring!!!! WTF can't we just flip a view and reuse it with all of its handles, etc? The swap left and right does not work correctly for every part. Also, making a shareable and flipping it prevents swapping left and right as it will also adjust the original. This is the worst oversight/lack of feature in the app.

   5. Optimization. Documentation for the suggested rig specs (non minimum, but pro use), as well as documentation on best practices (file sizes, handle limitations, etc) to avoid low FPS.

   6. Walk cycles - when using the head turn and walk behavior trick, if your head is tilted, you get a stutter/warping when initiated.

   7. Bring back the staple feature. Seems like it has gotten alot harder to chain parts together than it was back in 2017. I used to be able to make a leg with thigh, calf, and foot and have each part hinge. I cannot seem to be able to do this anymore with the provided tooling.

   8. Why isn't there more logical building structure options? Why aren't there symbols like in Animate CC with options. Why can't repeated parts just be a callout to 1 singular part like in object oriented programming?

   9. The biggest problem!!!! Why is every process so incredibly slow in CA? I have i9, 6700xt (12gb), 48gb ram, 2 m2 drives, and every action in CA takes about 5 -10 seconds. (no, the error checker is not open) Just clicking a crown, hitting undo, deleting something... literally every freaking action. It's obvious to me that CA is bottlenecking itself. Not sure if it's because it's a single core app (which is dumb), or if there are just alot of bloat in the coding like every other Adobe app.

   I have spent (no lie) thousands of hours with CA just puppet making (I could have rigged up characters, manually did lip sync, etc in after effects by now). CA does not make animating easier. Again, to reiterate, I spend 80% of the time trying playing the trial and error game in CA, rather than creating.

7. Simplify and focus on key core features

   Not having a solid solution for mirroring quarters and profiles without breaking lefts and rights makes intricate puppets a frigging nightmare to build, test, and iterate. These tools and workflow seem like an afterthought and it makes sense why even Dave Werner doesnt make advanced head turns or use illustrator for rigging. He knows what a nightmare it is. This is unacceptable as a professional tool and may be why you're leaning to premade puppet consumer grade nonsense for tiktokers with the new motion library ****. Make better documentation and focus on better puppet building workflows. Please. Otherwise the free version will be the only one getting use and the novelty will die, and then so will CH. Nobody wants that. It could be such an amazing tool.

8. Motion Library: "Record One Motion" button is slightly confusing for me

   Hello. I think it's a little confusing for me with the "Record One Motion" button. It isn't really clear how to continuously record a loop motion (unless you record one motion and then drag the layer out on the timeline). In this instance, I'm trying to use it to create a dance loop.

   I think there should also be a "Record a continuous looped motion" or a "Record loop throughout Work area" button to compliment that button.

10. タイムラインにレイヤーのフォルダ機能を追加してほしい。

    複数キャラの収録の際レイヤーが多くなりすぎてしまうためタイムラインが見にくいのと、仕上げのためにバラ音声ファイルを書き出す際にも一つ一つ表示非表示を切り替えなくてはならないため不便だと感じます。

    そのため、フォルダ機能かAeのプリコンポーズのような機能があるとありがたいです。

    ご検討のほどよろしくお願いいたします。

12. Insert Frames into Timeline

    It would be useful if the user could insert frames into the timeline (similar to Adobe Animate) so that it is easier to edit a recording in the likely event that new dialog needs to be inserted.

15. Add editing sticky notes to scenes

    I'd like to be able to use some kind of notes system, like sticky notes, on the parts of scenes that need editing, and to also see all these notes compiled in a sidebar of the scene.

16. Smaller icons, half-grid snap in control panel and more...

    It would be nice if there were a size slider for icons in the control panel. Or at least three size options in the context menu.

    I use a midi keyboard, so it would also be nice if icons could snap to a half grid space so it would be a little easier to lay things out like a keyboard.

    Also, it would be nice if icons in the control panel would take the same color as the labels in the triggers panel. Or at least be able to assign colors to icons individually or in groups.

    Also, it would be REALLY nice if the "remove trigger key" and "remove midi note" options worked on an entire selection. Sometimes I want to remove all of the trigger from the control panel, or some group of icons, and it's a real pain to remove them individually. Sometimes it's just nice to start with a clean slate.

    It could also be nice to have a set of generic artwork that could be used for random things. Or just being able to assign a couple letters or numbers or the trigger name so it's easier to keep track of triggers without having to link the artwork.

20. For the love of the deity of your choice, PLEASE point me to a basic explanation of how to use the Nutcracker Jaw behavior.

    The link to the Nutcracker Jaw behavior tutorial (https://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-character-animator/using/behavior.html#Nutcracker) (and all other subtutorials on the Behaviors page) is broken (circular link back to this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-character-animator/user-guide.html/adobe-character-animator/using/welcome.ug.html). In general, please create a good-old User Manual that explains each and every Behavior, in writing, as a reference point. Ch is an awesome product, and Dave Werner's tutorial videos are stellar. If I'm missing the obvious, where's a link to such a User Guide? Thanks.
