I cannot use live action animation, because I'm too disabled.
I cannot use live action animation, because I'm too disabled.
However, I would like to develop a character to represent me and read my post. I know I can bring in an audio file, but can I then animate the face, rather that just a fixed face with just the mouth moving? Hope this makes sense?

Add a take track without having to record.
When I'm working with some of my more swap set based puppets it is so unwieldy to have to hit record and twiddle all the sets just to get editable tracks in place.

introduce ability to categorise puppet track behaviors
I think it would help if we were able to sort out the Puppet track behavior by category. So been able to cluster all the Triggers, Walks, Headturns etc. that exist in the scene.

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.

Lock undocked Control Panels per puppet, so you can arm and edit multiple puppets
Sometimes its necessary to see how puppets interact. When you select and arm multiple puppets in the timeline there are no controls in the panel.

Label the replays (color and names) along with the triggers assigned to them.
It is kinda weird that the replays don't have the same name or color label.

Add blending to the timeline layers
We can set blending modes in the puppets levels, but i think it would also be nice to be able to blend the layers in the timeline section.

attach character to ground
How can I fix my character to the ground? ,I've tried all all manner of pinning, sticking, adding fixed tags, changing layout and all I need is to get this guy to stop floating so I can start my actual project, the fact that this is the default int his program is very frustrating. Namely when his head tilts, everything below his neck swings the other way like a windsock.I've attached images of where my rig is at right now, any thoughts and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Home button doesn't go home
When I press the home button CA closes. I reinstalled the program and still happens
1 voteWhat version of Character Animator are you seeing this in? (The version number is on the right side of the menu bar.)
What OS (macOS or Windows) are you on, and what version of the OS are you using?
When you try to click the Home icon, does the underline under the icon not show up?
If you choose the Window > Workspace > Home menu command, does it switch to the Home screen?
Thanks.

I Think Charavter animator should have a "Morph" tool. In vector transitions using same numer of points an auto morph will be most heplpful
When using somilar vector mouths or eyebrows for an exemple, the transition should have an auto morph feature that creates an automatic smooth transition something like an automatic Layer sequence transition without the need of making every step.

Live edit-ability of photoshop file on iPad Pro via Mobile Photoshop App
Hi. Flipping love this program. Soooo much. A bunch.
Also, I love the mobile Photoshop app. It is my favorite way to create and edit the artwork for my puppets, backgrounds....etc.
My idea centers around, (what may be in fact, nothing more than ignorance) my perceived inability to edit/access the puppet photoshop file from my iPad Pro, in the way Character Animator natively uses the desktop Photoshop program(app? Am I supposed to call them all apps now? ****....).
I suppose what I'm looking to do is this: I'm editing/rigging a character in CA. I "edit original," and am given an…

move the "mouse wheel" timeline left and right
It would be nice to navigate the timeline with the wheel mouse (hold down the mouse wheel and move it left and right)
4 votesIf you hold down the Shift key while spinning the mouse wheel, it should scroll the Timeline horizontally.

Fixed size (without stretching, but with the ability to drag) Hands - brachium, antebrachium(Forearm) Foot -femur, crus.
I saw the option "OK hands", but still the character is stretched like an elastic band. I would like to give a parameter forbidding the bones to open: Hands - shoulder, front of the shoulder (forearm), foot - thigh, lower leg.
There were times when the elbow jumped when recording animations across the screen. (ate not put a point on the elbow)

Reduce the size of the trigger on the panel controls
I use a lot of triggers, but they all do not fit on the panel. their size is large. Please enter the option to reduce them as on the screen on the left side.
I also did not understand exactly how I can assign the "[" key as well as the numeric keypad, which is located on the right

Provide more diverse and professional examples
I am a professor of art with an MFA in animation specifically. I need to see more examples provided which reflect the competency in figure drawing we encourage students to aspire and practice. Currently, that is not reflected in the examples provided. Additionally, where diversity is portrayed, diversity includes age. By restricting your examples to those that depict generally teenagers and children, you send a message we in art programs in art schools and colleges let alone education and the motion picture industry are trying to change. Individuals and companies are judged by actions vs words. This is one area…
1 vote@Lisa Rose, you’ll get no argument on the diversity front and keep an eye on the blog – https://theblog.adobe.com/creative-cloud/character-animator/ – as we add new puppets. You also can find some less age specific examples in our earlier shared puppets here: https://character.adobelanding.com/puppets/
In regard to the drawing styles, would you be kind enough to post a couple examples of the types of artwork that indicate the competency in figure drawing you’re describing? While we always strive to make people aware of how many styles can be brought into the app, it would help to have the particular perspective to discuss. Thanks!
