My parents are getting me a drawing tablet very soon and I'm real hyped to start learning how to make puppets and animate with Flash. This is a very helpful tutorial!

[@Velldog]

Adobe Flash is dead.

[@icommentonstuff1873]

Velldog not true. So many cartoons are animated in flash. You’re thinking of the web browser flash being discontinued in 2020

[@Velldog]

@@icommentonstuff1873 the programme flash was slated and replaced with animate etc.

I had this program on my laptop for a while but didn't know what to do with it. This tutorial gives me so much inspiration. Thank you

[@liquidvisual]

Thank you for a great tutorial. Thanks for not acting affected for effect. Concise. Every sentence something I wanted to know. In fact, it's so dense, I was starting to have trouble keeping up, was going to suggest shorter clips, which is when I discovered your perfect length table of contents, lesson breakdown with timecode links. lol! Thanks!

[@DanielJungDesigns]

Great overview! I've never used Character Animator but want to jump in and start animating!

[@RoarTV2]

This is a great tutorial. I teach High School A/V Production and also teach and Intro course to our Animation Program. We are looking into expanding into Adobe Animate and Character Animator. This video will help us with the process. Thanks and great work on the channel!

[@okaysamurai]

Awesome to hear! Hoping to do more classroom / lesson plan oriented tutorials in the future.

[@naodmulu1080]

is the Lip Sync feature smart enough to analyse any language spoken and interpret the sounds to the correct lip movement ? regardless of the language spoken?

[@okaysamurai]

Ideally, yes. In reality, not always. Many languages share the same mouth shapes for sounds like Ah, Ee, W-oo, etc. However, English still tends to work the best overall. In the future we will keep improving language support, including the possibility of being able to select/optimize for a particular language.

[@catied6913]

Thanks so much for adding this, but please, PLEASE could you talk about which webcams are going to work with this program?? I'm almost going nuts with trying to find one that will work. Please, do have any names, a list, anything??

[@okaysamurai]

Any modern webcam should work fine - I've seen it work with high end 4K cameras and terrible 480p quality cams alike. I personally use the built in webcam for my Macbook Pro and have never had an issue.

[@Nivenization]

How do I get Charackter Animator to Edit Original in Illustrator instead of Photoshop.

[@okaysamurai]

It depends on a) what the file is made in and b) what your OS defaults to for opening up that file type. You can also do File > Copy Media Files and then File > Reveal Project and look in the CH Media folder to find the file directly.

[@SaaraRichardson]

14:29 my origin (green dot) is on the elbow when I click on my arm. The green dot is on my elbow and the origin I can move to shoulder. How do I fix this!?

[@okaysamurai]

Hard to say for sure but it sounds like something is trying to attach to the elbow. Maybe there's a background layer or something in the file that the elbow is inadvertently trying to attach to? For more direct help, please post a screenshot, video, or File > Export > Puppet (.puppet file) to adobe.com/go/chfeedback.

[@SaaraRichardson]

Okay Samurai when I select the “arm group” my hand is not part of it. Only from shoulder to wrist. The hand is separate. How do I fix that

[@SaaraRichardson]

Okay Samurai a lot of rigging issues every-time I open the software back up something went out of place.

[@SaaraRichardson]

Okay Samurai we have never been able to animate or rig the arms. Following your videos step by step.

[@SaaraRichardson]

The default template doesn’t work in the rigging.

[@damianchaplin8320]

I do not get a green arrow and when i move the right arm it doesn't merge what did i do wrong?

[@okaysamurai]

Make sure the arm group is independent (crown icon) and the attach style in the right panel is set to "auto" to get the green circle.

[@ketimporta7799]

is there a way to preset animation cycles for individual body part groups? It would be awesome to add some gesturing with the hands as I speak. Also is there something like the frame picker from Animate?

[@okaysamurai]

Yep, that's called either "replays" (recording dragging limbs in the timeline and assigning them to a trigger for later playback) or "cycle layers" (frame by frame on demand animations). Both work great!

[@ketimporta7799]

Can you use Photos Also for the Face

[@okaysamurai]

Yes. Anything you can put in a PSD or AI file you can animate in CH.

[@raicomm3304]

does anyone know how to keep the character active while not actually in the adobe ch window? i click off to my 2nd screen to scroll a browser or move an object and the NDI feed just stops. Adobe Character still works, I can see the puppet moving. The NDI feed though, just nothing.

[@okaysamurai]

Go into your preferences - there's a checkbox option under Live Options to keep NDI open when CH is not in focus. Maybe that will help? If not try posting in the official forums for more direct help!

[@travisdodson217]

When I try to click "Blank Face (Photoshop)"->"Edit"->Edit Original" nothing happens.. I have photoshop open, but I cant get the photoshop version of Blank Face (with all its helpful folders!) to open. Please Help!

[@okaysamurai]

Usually in this case it's a weird OS issue where it doesn't understand that it needs to open Photoshop for PSDs. However, if you look in your documents folder (or wherever you .chproj files get saved), find your project and look in the CH Media folder - the PSD should be there.

[@moved.2645]

can you do one for the 2020 update?

[@okaysamurai]

Working on it right now!

[@moved.2645]

@@okaysamurai thank you!

[@chadwickerman]

I really wish I could get any of the rigging as shown here to work but it doesn't. Is there any up to date tutorials anywhere? I wish the staple tool was still there. At least it worked.

[@okaysamurai]

This tutorial should still be up to date - if there's something that doesn't seem like it's working in the current version as expected let me know. If attaching is an issue, see Chloe from the in app Start panel as a good example of how to set up things like arms.

[@jonebertgarsula7613]

is it change body by using own body sheets and face

[@okaysamurai]

Yes, you can use whatever artwork you want for the body and face.

[@jascrandom9855]

*BREATHS HEAVILY*

[@charitymonae5608]

What are the yellow and blue lines that frame your selections in the viewport area?

[@okaysamurai]

Yellow is the mesh bounds, blue is the total layer width and height. So if I have a triangle layer, I would expect to see a yellow outline around the edges of a triangle, and a blue box containing its total width and height.

[@charitymonae5608]

Thank you!!!!

[@techyou2554]

Guys how to change background colour while recording as my puppet is black i cant see him in the default black screen. I cant find the option to change background colour in record tab it only appears on the rigging tab

[@okaysamurai]

There's a color swatch on the lower right of the scene panel in Record and Stream modes. If it's not showing up you might have to drag the edges of your scene panel to make it wider.

[@thatnerdsquared]

The fixed handles on the feet are not working. How do you fix this?

[@okaysamurai]

Look at the Start panel examples like Chloe - put the fixed handles on a non-independent Body group.

[@thatnerdsquared]

@@okaysamurai i checked out the chloe example, and the feet were working. How do you replicate this on Zoey?

[@HiltsyAdventure]

I need to get contacts again, my glasses are messing up my camera eye capture, and maybe a different camera, I'm using a "GoPro" type camera since I don't have a webcam.

This video is really useful, I've found this soft to do so long ago, now find it, thank you

[@tgmedia7085]

When I try to pair my arms to the shoulders it does not highlight green and they remain unattached from the rest of the body. Do you know why this is happening?

[@okaysamurai]

When you have an independent group (crown icon), make sure in the right properties that attach style is set to Auto for the green to appear. Note that it'll also have to attach to something else non-independent, like a Body group (that's how the Chloe example is set up at least).

[@jasonfella265]

I love Adobe Animate, but this could be good too. However, is there any way to animate a head turn in this?

[@okaysamurai]

Yes, and it will turn with your own head in the webcam - on the Start workspace see Wendigo as an example of head turning.

[@fulltimespy]

This is awesome, but would it be possible to use your webcam for a side view perspective to animate eyes and mouth movement, and can you import it to animate cc ?

[@okaysamurai]

1. Yes, you can create characters with side perspectives - see Wendigo from the Start workspace for an example of a character with head turns / profile. 2. You can't import to Animate other than creating a PNG sequence + wav. You can import SVGs from Animate into CH though, and CH also dynamic links into After Effects and Premiere Pro for further compositing.

[@fulltimespy]

is there any way to add more mouth movement layers to make the speech even more fluent ?

[@okaysamurai]

Yes - any mouth could be a cycle layers multi-frame animation. We've shown this in a few other videos before - check out the wizard in the October tips video for one example.

Okay Samurai Thanks again

[@LiliPuff100]

I can't make the feet stay fixed, I pin them in the rig tab but when I come back to the scene It still swinging from the head.

[@okaysamurai]

Are you definitely pinning on the body group, not the feet group/layers? You may also have to click the scene refresh button in the lower right corner if you're not seeing an update. Check out Chloe from the Start Panel for a good example to emulate for a human character.

[@niboglin]

Can you hide eyebrows for certain expressions?

[@okaysamurai]

Yes, if you create a Swap Set trigger, you can make the eyebrows change or disappear with certain expressions.

[@okaysamurai]

When you select the arm group, make sure that "Attach To" in the right properties is set to "Auto," and that the "Show Mesh Outline" toggle (second icon from the left in the bottom left corner of the canvas toolbar) is blue/on.

[@BrechtjeGeluk]

Omg, you are my hero! I fixed it! haha Thank you for replying so quickly. I also have another question, is it possible to put a video in the background, so I can overlap it with the animation?

[@okaysamurai]

In CH, not yet. I would recommend doing that in After Effects or Premiere (using dynamic link) for recorded pieces or streaming software for live. Some of the stuff in okaysamurai.com/CHFAQ might help there.

However, if there are certain language specific sounds that you feel aren't working as expected, please post audio files and/or videos in the official forums and we can take a closer look for future patches/updates.

[@joesatriani2189]

You'll get a lot of fluttery mouths if it's with the music background, if you have access to just the vocal track that's best. Otherwise you can always sing along to the song in your headphones and use that to drive the lip sync!

[@supasphoje]

As I've been rigging a character, the yellow highlights are not showing up, along with the green highlights. All I've been able to see are the yellow points, and the lack of highlights is making it hard for me to rig different body parts together and see how they're connecting.

Hi, thanks for the tutorials on character animate! They're the best! May I ask, how do you move both hands at the same time? I am able to create "one hand" poses using dragger. But how do I animate both hands? (I tried recording them separately, one hand at a time, but they come out unbalanced.) Thanks in advance!

[@okaysamurai]

Currently the only way to do this live is to use a touch-enabled device to move each - the mouse can only select one at a time. The best way to do this for recording is add a second dragger behavior at the top level of the puppet, and rename your two draggers as "Left Arm" and "Right Arm". Then only arm left when you want to record that one, and only arm right when you want to record that one - the other recording will still show up because it's linked to a separate behavior.

Hey Dave. I just wanted to say amazing job on the tutorials. Animation has always fascinated me and since I've started these tutorials I am finally taking the steps to creating my own. I am just having an issue that I was hoping you could help me out with. My characters left pupil in multiple projects keeps dropping right out of the eye ball. All the settings seem to be fine. It has all the same properties as the right eye and the right eye works just fine. So I'm not sure why the left eye would act different. Any sort of guidance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

[@okaysamurai]

Sure! This probably means either a) the eyeball is tagged as something bigger than it should be (or not tagged at all), or b) the pupil and eyeballs are in non-centered positions, and one pupil is "pulling" the other pupil out of the eyeball. See the new Advanced tips video with the section about invisible eyeballs if B is the case. If not, feel free to share your puppet on the official forums or DM me a shared cloud link.
