Can he timeline navigation be more consistent with AE or Premiere please? Be great if we could drag over the time line and have the timeline"zoom" interface element in the same place.

Also, to be able to change the colour of the takes and layers on the timeline as with AE and Prem would be more than handy. It's all a little confusing and difficult to work in at the moment.

If the Dynamic link gets corrupted it makes you relink every scene when After Effects opens. But there's a big problem - the order of the scenes is NOT the order they appear in After effects, so you have no way of knowing which order to relink them in. This should be fixed. Please tell the user which scene After Effects is looking for in the Character Animator file when the Dynamic Link window is up.

It is very counterproductive and takes up a lot of my time to fix it.

The workaround for keyframes (using the transform behavior) being used in draggers is good. The problem I run into is now both objects marked (like the elbows) are rotating using the transform tool (because ARM IK is set at the body level). Posing arms would be a lot easier with the ability to set keyframes for arms or wherever draggers are.

Fuze and character animator will be work together ?

When I create a new character style in characterizer, or attempt to edit an existing one, the brush does not work. Trying to change what is hair, face, etc.. does not function.

Why only live feed?? Make also a footage option and not only live feed. The face track feature works great in AE, no reason not to have it in CA. It's all there, just let us have it!:)

Rigging is much too complicated. I'd like to have handle bars or slider in order to move the marionette, I'd like to fix the head on the neck and to have the neck squeezing while the head stays in it's form, I'd like to hang arms to the body like in AE, I'd like to animate walk cycles instead of capturing something by the camera, I'd like to squash and sqeeze by mouse.

Ever since 2020 came out each time I reopen Character Animator all of my Arm movements are completely off. I can post a video for a better example. but the arms get turned around and down. almost like everything was flipped upon re-entry.

I have a giant mustache so its hard for the camera to tell during silent moments if my mouth is neutral, smiling or open. would be great if when editing a recording you could select which of the silent mouth shapes that shows, rather than having to rerecord those parts.

Sometimes the User needs to input specific numeric values on Position X or any other property driven by Sliders.

It would be nice if he was allowed to do this by double clicking the Slider, or through a text box that also shows the current value from the slider.

When dealing with Grouped Sliders,
the values could vary from 0% to 100%.

Add a "solo record" Toggle to "Puppet Track Behavior" items.
Just like the solo button from AE.

With something like that, the User can simply record few Behaviors instead of having to turn OFF every other Behavior doesn't need to be recorded.

On a big project, is kinda hard to look through every group of layers in order to fix or change the Triggers and Swap Sets.
And sometimes we have to work with duplicated triggers to do something like running a Replay and a Layer Cycle at the same time.

What if we have a robust Triggers Panel, based on Adobe's "Keyboard Shortcut" window. So the user could search and attach
his triggers to the keyboard, without worring too much about the Layers Hierarchy.

It could even be color coded, like on the Mockup image Attatched

For example, the user has a group of Cycle layers,
some of them are nested inside each other,
and they are sorted like this:

. IdleLayerCycle
. JumpingLayerCycle
. SittingLayerCycle -> SittingAndWavingGoodbye

If the user wants to go from "SittingAndWavingGoodbye" to "JumpingLayerCycle",
he has to turn off the "SittingAndWavingGoodbye"trigger,
then turn off "SittingLayerCycle",
to finally activate the "Jumping_LayerCycle" trigger.

Maybe we could have a less painful way to cycle through Nested groups.

With that feature, the user could customize detailed Headturns
or have more control when animating items like headphones or glasses.
