Pixel mask on a group
Working on an illustrator's existing character, I wanted to ease my pain and use a layer mask on the group of faces.
Except it only works layer by layer. (one mask, one layer) whereas Photoshop proposes also the "one group, one mask" option.
I don't know if it would be possible to add that.

camera
I tried CC last year and stopped using it when I started having webcam issues. A year later, I still have issues with it. I have a Logitech C922 and Blackmagic Capture Recorder. At first, I got the "Camera Busy" with NO other applications running. I tested it, I opened OBS and the C922 turned on no problem. I closed OBS, restarted, went to Device Manager disabled Blackmagic, restarted, opened CC and still the same issue "Camera Busy".
Yes, I went to the 'Switch camera' option, yes I 'Default Camera' too, still same issue. I performed another test, closed CC…

When in the scene timeline mode, add a quick shortcut for dragging on empty space: Right mouse button
As far as I can see I can't find the option to make a shortcut for just dragging around the timeline (similar to the hand/drag tool in Premiere); I saw the "M" thing, but it doesn't seem to be that responsive. It would be sweet if you could right click on an empty space in your scene timeline and that would just drag the entire timeline. Adversely, it could be ctrl+ click, or alt+ click. Just the option would be nice.

Ability to copy and paste resolution settings when using high res PSD files to record Ch actions in low res
Please add feature where resolution settings can be copied as templates to use in instances where you need to animate with low res versions of bigger files to avoid clipping that occurs with less powerful computers, eg Start with a 4K master Photoshop file, then edit the Scene in 1080p to avoid clipping, then change the Scene settings back to 4K after all actions have been recorded. What we need to be able to copy is the scale size of the puppet, X/Y axis, etc. Not just the Scene pixels ratios.

Inverted variables
One thing that I could see to be helpful, not only in my puppet designs, but just generally in character animator is the option to invert the way the camera reads the facial movements. How I see this working is to create a little check box that says "invert" next to it, and all it does is invert the way the assets of your puppet reacts to your face.

You can accomplish this by using nutcracker jaw with negative camera flappiness setting in the parameters. Does this resolve your issue?

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. :)

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.)

As of the April 2019 release, the scene duration is now precise to the 10th of a second.

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)

" I have weeks of work on this project. Please do you have a solution for me? I beg you!
