Color Blending Mode
I'm unsure why the color blend mode isn't already a thing in the blending modes for CA. It is extremely useful. If there is a true technical reason why it isn't added or can't be added, then I would love to know, it sounds like an interesting thing to leave out. It may also just be a mistake, and it got left out when programing it.
Anyway, I hope the best for the program, I'm having so much fun creating, and pushing it to its limits.2 votes -
Internal error code: (751789695:79+6) assertion failed!
Hello! I love your product. :)
Internal error code: (751789695:79+6) assertion failed!I was working on creating an animation, saved a new file, imported a puppet, and then was going to drag into the timeline but as I moved the mouse from the menu, as seen in the screenshot, I received the following error code. I was able to recreate it several times.
Everything seems to be fine with the file, however.
Thanks!
Axelps I guess there isn't a place to save the screenshot. I have it if it would be helpful. :)

Having a bar that limits the record parameters
In music sequences programs, there is generally a bar that you control for record in and out. So, for instance, if you just wanted to record something for .5 seconds, it would do that only and you don't have to go back and change all the little things that have been recorded past that time. For one character these little things can be 10-15 bars you have to adjust. I could send a picture of an example, but I don't think there is that capability here.

Keyboard shortcuts for arming behaviors
It would be very helpful for workflow speed if we could assign hotkeys for arming specific behaviors and puppet tracks. Instead of having to mouse over to the puppet to disarm it so that I can see it's current position, a quick keyboard shortcut would really help. Same with the item behaviors - if I have the Dragger armed, but I want to turn it off and instead use the mouse for Eye Gaze, I have to scroll through all the behaviors and find the ones I want to arm/disarm. If each behavior had an assignable hotkey, it would be…

Setting to quickly switch between different backgrounds & character during performance
I would like to incorporate multiple backgrounds and characters during a live presentation, to create the look of a two-way conversation as seen on TV and film. I want to be able to switch backgrounds every time a new character speaks, and have both the new character and background appear onscreen.
I can currently achieve background switching by stacking multiple backgrounds in the timeline and then manually fading the opacity of the background(s) on top, but it is slow, manual, and very clear to the audience what is going on.
On a similar note, switching out the characters is currently…

Choose default settings for Cycle layers & other behaviour modifiers
I find myself always having to adjust the parameters whenever i add a cycle layer behaviour. If there could be a way to set default settings to your own custom ones then that would save a few more clicks.

Make the 'Duration' of scene display exact duration instead of rounded value
The "Duration" property of a scene rounds floating point numbers to the nearest integer. So a value of 1.5 is displayed as 2. But when you click in the field to edit, it jumps back to 1.5. The request is to make the displayed value be the exact value rather than a rounded value. (
This is particularly made worse when a recording gets extended by a few frames. The scene length can be extended without you even realizing. (Should be a quick change.)
3 votesAs of the April 2019 release, the scene duration is now precise to the 10th of a second.

Improve rear hair (behind BODY) when +HEAD is warp independent
Currently you typically have a HEAD group in front of the BODY (so the chin is in front of the neck etc. You may also have front hair dangling in front of the body as well.
But it is hard to have +HEAD (an independent group) and rear hair (to be displayed behind the BODY). The front and rear hair should be both controlled by the head movement.
It would be nice to have a better way of having rear hair attached to head movements, but be behind the body.
I would suggest having a +REARHAIR group as a pattern,…
5 votesSee if using Magnets behavior to connect rear hair to the head might work for this example.

Snapchat style 3d mask building and face augmenting
Snapchat style 3d mask building and face augmenting. Soemthing that feels less paper cut. Maybe allow us to mix our real eyes in with cartoon features. I know this is a big ask, but character animator is a bit underwhelming when you see the possibilities in something like Snapchat face filters (lenses)
3 votesNot exactly the same, but have you tried Characterizer?
