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.

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.

Adobe Draw on iPad and now Adobe Fresco support a flat list of layers - no nesting possible. It would be nice if I can use a flat list of layers and maybe use layer name to control nesting - e.g. “Head - Mouth - Ah” as the layer name instead of grouping.

This would however require Alfresco etc to support LOTS of layers. I know Photoshop is coming to the iPad - maybe that is the better approach. I just want vector artwork, so I want Illustrator on the iPad I guess.

I would be good if you could add a preview mode for animating in CH, so you can reduce the quality of the animation while animating to improve frame rate.

This is something that is done in After effects and think would work well in CH

It is very counterproductive and takes up a lot of my time to fix it.

Rigging is much too complicated. I'd like to have handle bars or slider in order to move the marionette, I'd like to fix the head on the neck and to have the neck squeezing while the head stays in it's form, I'd like to hang arms to the body like in AE, I'd like to animate walk cycles instead of capturing something by the camera, I'd like to squash and sqeeze by mouse.

I was thinking a great and time-saving feature would be an option to import triggers from other puppets. Kind of like Tull has a set controls list, it would be great to say import Outstretched, or import a set of triggers to a puppet in development. Something like Import->Triggers and then the.puppet folder opens and you select which puppet you want to import the triggers from.

When you first open Character Animator you are given a list of example puppets, but it's not easy to go back to that menu after selecting one.

For example, the user has a group of Cycle layers,
some of them are nested inside each other,
and they are sorted like this:

. IdleLayerCycle
. JumpingLayerCycle
. SittingLayerCycle -> SittingAndWavingGoodbye

If the user wants to go from "SittingAndWavingGoodbye" to "JumpingLayerCycle",
he has to turn off the "SittingAndWavingGoodbye"trigger,
then turn off "SittingLayerCycle",
to finally activate the "Jumping_LayerCycle" trigger.

Maybe we could have a less painful way to cycle through Nested groups.

Hello, it would be grew to if CA would support models of various kinds of creatures along with their movements:
quadrupods, birds, snakes and fish

Thanks,

Switching monitors and auddio devices on a mac and pc causes a ton of these pop up boxes. Even when I select do not show again, I'm stuck having to close 10+ of these every time using Character Animator. I switch screens, audio devices (headphones to monitor) etc... a lot, so these add up.

Fuze and character animator will be work together ?

The older versions of CH as well as the latest version of CH still has issues with puppets created in AI. I tested the Chloe (AI) puppet in the latest version of CH and the performance is awful. I'm getting about 4.5 FPS. I tested the Red Monster (PS) in the same version of CH and it worked fine. Is there anyway to optimize CH to work better with puppets created in AI.

When I create a new character style in characterizer, or attempt to edit an existing one, the brush does not work. Trying to change what is hair, face, etc.. does not function.

Allow support for importing a transcript or subtitle file, so the auto lip sync could analyse both the audio and the transcript for a more accurate result.

If the program knows exactly what words are said, it should presumably have a much better idea of which 'Visemes' to use.
(Though obviously this wouldn't work for a live stream aha!

Ever since 2020 came out each time I reopen Character Animator all of my Arm movements are completely off. I can post a video for a better example. but the arms get turned around and down. almost like everything was flipped upon re-entry.
