It would be nice if there was an option for parallax to exclude profile views. I've got a series of puppets where I wouldn't mind having parallax on the frontal and quarter views, however it makes the nose and mouth move off the face in profile, so I have to disable parallax altogether.

Unless this option already exists buried somewhere?

after updtating, i think, all the sudden character animator will not play back any audio. I have changed all settings. audio works in every way on my computer with all other applications including audio recording aplications. I have been to ten forums and tried everything. THis is the only program that audio will not play back in. Audio file shows up. Suipposedly records, I can see the waveform and everything, animation even plays but no audio. No mutes, everything is working but... no audio. Please help, I have deadllines.

Attempted using two different PC's and installations of the software with the same result. Was able to paste the data to a text document so it is there. Character Animator won't accept it. This is a bug. Please fix it.

it's really odd that you can copy puppets and behavior items from one timeline to another, but you just can't copy the sound. it makes the whole copy option useless if i want to copy edits i made into a new timeline.

zooming in and out in the timeline is very slow and bulky

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.

I am constantly having to convert steps per minute to the arbitrary step percentage (which I calculated as roughly 120 steps per minute at 100%). For music videos, it could be nice to just type the exact steps per minute that someone would want into the step speed to match the tempo of the song.

I think this feature could even leak into the motion library. I know most of the speeds in the motion library vary (especially dancing) but I think if there was a base speed for all motion library dances and walks then it would be helpful.

Some of the puppets I have are about 1000x1000 pixels as a PSD. That's pretty low resolution nowadays and I wish I could upscale the puppets (in photoshop or 3rd party software) and then link the puppet back to adobe character animator and all of the original functionality that I had on the original puppet would remain.

It would be very helpful if we could bundle certain behaviors together - like in a group or folder that can be turned on and off at once - so that we could arm/disarm behaviors more easily. For instance if you have multiple head turners applied to different views, and want to turn them all off at once, or if you want to bundle lip sync, eye gaze, and face behaviors so that you can disarm them when working with the draggers, then disarm draggers and arm those behaviors for recording.

When I use the Character Animator "File" import function, none of my .ai or .psd show up as eligible for importing. The user documentation says it should, but it doesn't. So the this program is unusable for me.

I hit record it says its recording ... then it freezes

Currently, setting the scaling and rotation value to a layer results in scaling and rotaing the layer arbitrary from the center of the layer. Instead, I would like to see a rigging tool that can scale and rotate the layer by using its main handle (green and named with the name of the layer) as pivot.

I would like to see additional tags for parallaxing facial feature located on the different part of the characters' face. Ones can be side hairs, bang, back hair, hat, ears, glasses, beard and so on.

I think that it would be great if we could lock layers that we are not working on. Sometimes I find myself making errors unaware because a layer is not locked. Other than that...I think that the software is AWESOME and I am so grateful for the brilliant minds behind CH. Thanks for all that you do!

NO EXISTE EN MODO PRO LA OPCION DE AGREGAR EMOCIONES, DEBERIA EXISTIR NO SOLO EN MODO INICIO SINO PRO TAMBIEN

Honestly, if you ever made a character in character makers, most of them are made by people who are doing them for other people, not company. While with maker files, there is a set of puppets you can choose from, and the styles are limited. Making a maker for .maker files would be a great solution! There are artist who will be able to make a custom makers, and Character Animator community would rise! There is a need for it.
