Hold position of draggers when puppet is armed
I find it very frustrating when wanting to add more detail to arm motions for example that I can't see the previous position I'd recorded without un arming the puppet.
For example, if I want to create a simple wave motion and have set a basic position for the arm but then want to add some extra motion to it, I struggle to match the original position to then add the extra piece of motion.
The only way I can see the original position is to unarm the puppet - hold the position in my mind, arm the puppet, and…

Additional trigger keys
Not sure why the keys associated for triggers are limited to numbers and letters on the keyboard. I ought to be able to use other keyboard characters or even combinations of keystrokes to execute various triggers. I know I can add more using MIDI but that seems kind of silly when there are still so many keys on the keyboard that should be able to be programmed for trigger use.

ZOrder Behavior - Reordering Layers at Recording Time
Hi Guys!
I think a feature "ZOrder Behavior" would improve Character Animator a lot!
For example, consider a character sitting behind a table - where both are separated puppets. As expected, puppet character should be BEHIND the table puppet - but the arms should be OVER the table. Today, it's a big problem when you are dealing with different puppets.
A Zorder feature would solve this problem at recording time. By adding this new behavior to the arm and changing a simple index value, the arm layer can OVERLAP another puppets. So, the character arms would appear OVER the table…

Stop and sustain triggers
When recording a replay it would be helpful if a trigger would stop/sustain in the same way as draggers do.
After recording a replay I have to go back into the timeline and edit the duration of triggers to match the draggers.

support loading videos.
I want you to support loading videos.
Because It can take advantage of physical properties.

Recorded Swap Set Triggers should play back while recording other triggers
I've noticed that when I have Triggers record enabled, and I'm recording, say doing an overdub of some mouth stuff with triggers, other triggers and swap sets that are on the timeline don't play back, instead taking the currently active or default state of the swap set.
On playback all is well again, but Id really like to see those other triggers during recording as they affect my performance timing on the overdub ones?
Maybe an overdub mode that focuses on only one trigger and the others all playback from the timeline rather than being live?

Automatic Reset on Rewind before Playback
Using Physics and Magnets, when I go to do the performance, at the end of the performance, Character Animator stops and leaves the character in the final position. When I rewind, not all items are reset to neutral/default. Consequently, if you then play back again... everything is shifted starting from a new neutral.
Ideally there should be an option to either keyframe the "reset" OR a way to keyframe ALL items in the initial frame (or maybe frame (-1.0) )
Anything so we don't have to every time remember to click "reset"
Note - this is particularly bad when exporting…

Virtual Webcams, and USB EOS Webcam not detected by Character Animator
I have a USB camera using EOS Webcam Utility as its driver. Many other applications on my computer can find and use this webcam with no problem (such as zoom, skype, chrome, default camera app, OBS studio, etc...) however character animator can not find this camera.
Also, OBS studio is running virtual-cams that are also seen by every application (see list above) except character animator.

adding video files in timeline
Would like to be able to sync characters to video movements but I can't add video into the timeline. So, that would be really helpful for the series I'm working on. Thanks! :)

Edit Replays
I'd like the ability to go into a replay I've previously created and make minor adjustments as needed. Currently if I spot a mistake or want to make a change, I have to create the replay over again from my recordings on the timeline (if I haven't removed them) or record a new replay using the trigger in question and edit in the timeline from there and create a new replay. I'd like to be able to click into a replay I've already created and make a change and have it update without doing any additional recording or creating a…

TRUE TRANSPARENCY
Make the transparency actually transparent when imported in FCPX like a green screen. When I use transparent then render in ME the background stays black not transparent. Please fix or allow for green screen background.

Your program does not recognize a dog's face, one;y human when I upload
I want to use a real photo of my Dog Tucker (attached) captured on a green screen and use your animation to move his lips to a voiced script. But it keeps giving me an error that it does not recognize as a human face. Can you create a version where a dog's face will be recognized?

Ability to change the pitch of the recorded voice
I think it will be a function to add color to the work when one person plays multiple roles. I want an effect that just changes the pitch, like premiere pro, instead of changing the speed.
