I'm only 36min in and this video is THE BIBLE FOR THIS PROGRAM! As a filmmaker, I started with figuring out building the puppet and triggers and finally landed here. I'm not only taking notes w screenshots but watching w popcorn like it's a movie. BRAVO!!!
I agree mate, the best video/tool
yes!! one of the best tutorials i’ve ever seen, and Ended up here just like you, from character rigging!
Thank you for this!
Thank you for all of these, this one is a great overview of parts of the adobe subscription that I haven't really explored or ever bothered to even download. great everything.
Finally watched this whole thing. So much detailed information. Thank you Dave for taking the time to make these tutorials. May God bless you sir.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Love all of your videos and I’ve really enjoyed learning character animator. Thank you so much!
Can’t wait to check this entire video out! I’ve been working on a Character Animator project during lockdown and have learned so much from these videos. Super grateful for the work you do!!!
Thank you so much for all of the thorough tutorials and guidance! I was able to make my first animation and could never have done so with such ease without this program or your videos. We all appreciate the hard work you put in!
Your tutorials are always so clear and to the point. Very inspiring!!! Thank you so much for another great tutorial!!! I had never used Ch before Lockdown and now I am making my own cartoons!!!
Very excited to watch this Dave, thank you for sharing. Your videos have been incredibly helpful to me!
Thank you Okay Samurai for this tutorials and others! - Look forward to putting a production forward and hopefully getting a chance to share it.
I can't seem to watch and bookmark these videos fast enough - thank you for all the thorough video tutorials!
I've finished today. And I weant to thank you again for all this effort. Please keep doing these and inspire us :)
Wow, you just made animating fun again. So simple! I can't wait to start a new project now!!
Dave, just WOW... thank you very much for this workflow and detailed video. Amazing.
Thank you for putting this together. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with my new project and this video really set my mind at ease. Thank you very much.
Your videos are so great. I just started getting into Character yesterday and I've done a bit of a marathon here. You are so concise and the timing is great and you're so thorough. I've been working in Premiere for a year and have some background in computer programming-y things so all of your explanations are really easy to understand. Thanks so much!!
I come back to this video pretty much every time I make something. Eventually I'll memorize it. Thanks Dave!
I was initially hesitant to get into a long video. But once I did I was so glad I did. They are interesting, informative, and packed with value. Thank you!
Character animator is a beast. All your tutorials they are amazing thank you! Never thought a team of 1 could ever handle an animation project. Now this full workflow breakdown is going to be so helpful for my next episode!
These tutorials are awesome! I am working my way through your tutorials and in less than one week, i managed to build my own puppets, export and import into Adobe Pro.
I am hoping to use this creativity to make learning chemistry fun! Thank you for the great work.
Thank you so much for your tutorials! I’m working through them right now! So excited to make something soon!
Thank you Sensei! Man I've learned everything with your videos! 1,000% recommended
Thank you so much for making this video!!! Yes, I watched the whole thing. It is so valuable. I have a really important project in language preservation, and recently realized that animated stories in the target language would be really effective. Just now learning about Adobe Character Animate. I am pretty well versed in photoshop, so I’m hoping the learning curve won’t be too steep. Watching you work through all the steps was reassuring that I can tackle this new skill. Thanks again!!!
Nice to find a tutorial that is informative, gets to the point and is easy to understand. Thank you for up loading this.
The world does need more animations. Really enjoyed watching & learning. I am always inspired!!
Omg thank you so much for this. This is awesome foundation for everyone. The correct path to start animation. Thanks again
this is very comprehensive and well put. I've been following you for a while since making my first puppet, now to more advanced stuff like this. Very awesome stuff
I entered this with no idea how to use this. I feel confident now. Thank you.
Such clear, nicely-delivered, well-paced teaching. Thanks so much!
We are working on a 3-4 minute animation and then BAM you upload this video which we will use as a guideline! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this very well done walkthrough. It was great. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Dave. Enlightening as always.

man I was literally wishing for this video! you always rock, Dave! thanks alot!
I did my first character animation and made a little cartoon for my family kiddos for school not as professional but good starter with the short time frame to learn about the program and compose the full cartoon at the same time ... your video is quite helpful loved that you had the exporting part ..❤
I am Brazilian and I always consume your content through automatic subtitles. Thank you so much for the great videos!
Only forty minutes in but this is definitely reconnecting me to the program. Thanks so much for all you do!
Really useful and finally I've understood how best to do zoom and pan in After effects!
I think I've watched this video over 20 times - as well as many of your other videos. Currently working on the third episode, thanks in no small part to your brilliant tutorials. Thanks so much, Dave!

I really love your outro speech, animation is the best tool to tell stories, im passionate about stories that hve never been told from Africa, and I also strongly believe the best way they can be told is through animation.
Can't stress enough how your videos are informative and easy to understand. Animation never even crossed my mind before and now it's something that does not seem so impossible. I'm really diving into it. Thank you so much for your content. You're doing an incredible think for the profession. Keep up the good work and the videos coming!

Thanks for the awesome work.
thank you for posting.
amazing man, simply amazing
As a digital illustrator artist with Adobe Photoshop, I have never get a chance to work with Character Anime and Adobe Animate. But the apps is AWESOME!
All I can say that Adobe did an excellent job come up with these two animation apps. It giving everyone the chance to create their own cartoon, and bring the shows to Live on TH-cam platform for every children to watches their favorite channel. The people who create cartoon animation (with Adobe Character Animator and Animate) will definitely bring a childhood memory to those kids today in the next 30 years.
Reminded me as a kid back in the late '80s and the early-mid '90s, I used to get up every morning to watches my favorite show before school. Now today, everyone get to create their own show with these cool Character Animator and Adobe Animate apps!
Love your tutorial by the way Okay Samurai!
THIS. IS. AMAAAAAAAAAAZING!!!!! I'm very new to Adobe Character Animator (like... three days old and spiraling down a rabbit hole of learning lol). I absolutely cannot wait to use these tips as a guide. Right now, I'm just watching thru. Next watch, I'll take notes. Then I'll practice. Thank you for this!
Thank you so much
Fabulous Dave, thank you
Great tutorial - thank you!
tnx, very informative workflow! i learned some for my newbie animation journey! thanks a lot.
Super fun to learn. Thank you!
This is wonderful thank you so much.
I made it through the whole video! Can't wait to get started. Thanks Dave.
Glad to hear some people make it to the end! :)
