What is Adobe Character Animator?

- Adobe Character Animator has three different ways you can interact with it, depending on your project's needs and budget, and in this video we walk through them all with you. Animate from audio is a free web-based option that lets you quickly make a character animation in minutes. Starter mode is a free mode in the desktop app with a streamlined interface, but additional controls like performance capture and a trigger library. Finally, Pro mode gives you the full professional experience, allowing you to create your own puppets, do full body tracking, and more.

Always enjoy seeing Okay Samurai notifications!
Your effort and commitment is legendary. Thank you for existing.
Crazy timing, was just thinking bout trying the full version to make a short cartoon
So awesome! And I didn’t know about Pro Mode
Let’s GOOOOO 🎉
Hooray for Character Animator!
wow, this is super cool and dope. Thanks for the quick explanation. Happy I have the paid adobe suite. Let's go!
Great video once again, always look forward to this content
Thank you Sir❤❤❤
Hello to my "Character Animator Mentor". I appreciate everything I've learned from you. 🙏🏼
Yeah, I think the only way to do this would be to ask each individual to have their own Adobe IDs and use the free starter mode with the puppets you all provide them to make their daily episodes. Head turning does work in starter mode, as seen with Stardust the unicorn. If the puppets also do stuff in Pro mode, that could be an added bonus, but with that many potential accounts I think optimizing for Starter mode is your safest bet.
First of all, thank you very much for your reply.
Second, all our puppets are designed to use body tracking, motion library, physics, leader follower, etc. Each puppet has a set of lip sync and 6 types of hands, eyes and even feet and shoes. All are fully rigged and work well with most motion librarie presets.
The third and most important of course: I am the only person on earth who lost their marriage because of learning Adobe Character Animator. I am serious and decisive in reaching my goal and I have always paid for it.
@@okaysamurai so I'll buy Creative Cloud subscriptions for everyone if necessary. Cuz The starter mode is not enough to make a professional animation that is made with the intention of attracting a large amount of audience. It was not possible to DM you on Twitter. Please, show me a way to contact you so that I won't have to spoil my project idea more than this, when I needed your guidance my mentor🙏🏼.
You can DM me on the official Adobe forums: community.adobe.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/8340746
yeay our sensei is back
Love your content.
Thank you for this! Want to learn but wanted to ask if your older videos tutorial are still valid? Thank you!
Yep, most of those videos are about Pro mode but they should still work!
@@okaysamurai right, thanks a lot!
Hi Dave - Been using Animate from audio in lots of kids workshops, but just wondering when Adobe New Express, including the talking characters will be available on iPads. Thanks
You mean like a dedicated app? I'm not sure what a timeline is on that, I haven't been part of any discussions there. We tried to optimize AFA for mobile and tablets as best we could in the meantime!
@@okaysamurai Not exactly. When I try to access the Adobe New Express website on Safari on the iPad, I just get a holding page, saying it’s coming to mobile soon!
Oh huh, I didn't realize that restriction was there. I just tried it in Chrome on my iPad Pro and it seemed to be working okay.
I just remembered atmosphir and this account
Hi Dave! Thanks for the video. I have a question regarding the puppets: I have the design of my character in Adobe Illustrator, I'm using it to create differents scenes with differents expressions, but each time I change the design to adapt a new expression, the scenes are automatically updated with the new faces. Is there a way to like close a scene to avoid being updated if the character changes or should I have to create like a tons of differents design for each expression?
Thank you in advance! :)
There is an "auto-sync with artwork" button in the right properties for any puppet that you can uncheck. Typically I'd do one character with a swap set to change expressions so you don't have multiple files.
@@okaysamurai Thanks for the answer! Exactly what I needed :D
Lol I got on CA for the first time in like a year and it was on Starter Mode and I was so confused 🧐
Hi Dave, or everyone
I have one problem, The audio recorded from my Character Animator is not stereo (mono left). I use Focusrite 2i2 Studio, but stereo works well with other applications such as DAW Cubase, etc.
I've tried setting the microphone section on the CA but it's still mono. I was forced to edit it again with another editor.
Can anyone help me?
Many thanks
Huh not sure what's happening here. I have seen other users have issues like this in the past but unfortunately I don't think there was an easy fix. See community.adobe.com/t5/character-animator-discussions/modify-audio-channels-in-character-animator-from-mono-to-stereo/m-p/13643979 and feel free to add in the forums to see if we can help more.
@@okaysamurai same case, it seems there is no other way in , other than convert mono to stereo with Audition or Premier.
Many thanks Dave🙏
Do you know if they will makw the motion library easily customizable
No currently plans to do this, but most people get custom motions by making Replays: th-cam.com/video/mZioGOAt8RE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=us4ehoZmsKeJjimL
When would you use something like Adobe Animator over Adobe Character Animator?
Animate is for more traditional, keyframe based animation, while Character Animator is about performance capture. It's really a question of what the project is and what style of animation you want and tool you feel comfortable with.
@@okaysamurai Thanks for the reply. Appreciated.
Really wish this was an app for android since i dont have a computer, hopefully they manage to make that happen one day for people who admire animating but don't own computers
You should try Animate from Audio, which works on Android: www.adobe.com/express/feature/video/animation/audio
@@okaysamurai it's not letting me in, It says "my device isn't supported just yet"
I'm surprised by that! Are you able to do any other quick actions? www.adobe.com/express/feature/quick-actions
@@okaysamurai sadly no, I even downloaded the app and it doesn't have "quick actions" in it
Huh that is surprising to me. Well hopefully it gets supported soon!
I’m using pro without a webcam. How can I do quick eyebrow movements manually?
This is how I do it: th-cam.com/video/p05NNzb0lzo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4r05CWBt8qvCZw63&t=999
I'd love to know how to remove the black dot that appears in my mouth animations 🤷♂️
Sounds like you might have a lingering W-oo or Oh shape somewhere? If the problem persists, please upload a video or screenshot of your issue to adobe.com/go/chfeedback and we'll try to help you out.
Can I use this feature with a character I created?
You can make custom characters in the Pro version (3rd one shown in this video).
can you make your owm chracter???
Custom characters aren’t available for Express yet. You can make your own characters in the desktop version of Character Animator: www.adobe.com/products/character-animator.html
I wish there was link or listing page of freelancers that are capable of making puppets. The third party companies that are listed do not take commissions and one of the individuals that was posted website link is no longer valid
Ah sorry, can you let me know the ones that aren't taking work anymore? I try to keep it up to date but it has been several months since Iast checked it.
@@okaysamurai Danny Mirabel
Are you still active in the adobe forums?
Not as much as I wish I had time for...I try to check when I can.
Any tutorials, tips or processes on how to set up/create multiple-character animation videos?
This is how I do it: th-cam.com/video/VhCKD5vl848/w-d-xo.htmlsi=C1XA6CIOArwkg-cu
@@okaysamurai Thanks so much!
Can you customize a puppet for free?
Technically yes, if you took an existing puppet and modified the original PSD or AI file with simple changes like color swaps or adding a logo to a shirt, that would work if you imported the puppet into Starter Mode. But anything more advanced would probably require Pro Mode.
