Turn 2D graphic objects into animated characters using your own movements and facial expressions shot on the webcam.
Manage the movements of puppets, adding and removing gestures, such as turning the head or automatically flashing.
Export interactive animation streams for translation.

Features of Adobe Character Animator:

Simple and quick creation of puppets. Accelerate the response time when rigging complex puppets. Combine the mouths, heads and other parts of the puppets from several Photoshop and Illustrator files to quickly create combinations.
Improved interaction between Creative Cloud applications. Now puppets are updated even faster thanks to the data exchange between the applications Character Animator, Photoshop and Illustrator. Improved function Dynamic Link allows you to do without intermediate rendering between applications Character Animator, Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Optimized recording and editing. The keystrokes that start the recording are grouped for more precise editing. You can also move faster on the timeline.
Teaching Tools Character Animator. The built-in interactive tutorials available at the touch of a button help you learn the basic functions of Character Animator.
Publish to Creative Cloud. You can easily export, import and publish puppets in Creative Cloud folders, saving them as .puppet files.
Support for additional resource types. Import PNG sequences and SVG files from Adobe Animate CC and use them in Character Animator projects.
Simplified character movement. Now you can instantly add tags to the layers of the puppet and record several variants of character movement. It is also possible to control every minor movement in relation to the main one with the help of new fasteners "Spike", "Hinge" and "Free".
Functions "Motion Trigger" and "Automatic Flashing". When dragging characters across the screen, they automatically start moving in accordance with the movements.
Export animations in real time. Transmit interactive animation streams over wireless with any Syphon client.
Export Adobe Media Encoder. Export the scene to any format without intermediate rendering with Adobe Media Encoder.
Support for Multi-Touch technology. Animate the limbs of the characters with the help of touch gestures and record movements on the touch screen.
Enhanced language support. The Character Animator application is now available not only in English, but also in German, Japanese and French.
Animation of two-dimensional graphics. Animate the characters created in Illustrator and Photoshop applications, using keyboard shortcuts and automated functions, allowing you to track your own facial expressions, record your speech and start your movements. Edit graphics in Photoshop or Illustrator and they will be automatically updated in the Character Animator application.
Characters with your mood. Shoot your facial expressions and emotions with a webcam. Then you can change the position, scale and rotation angle of the character's facial features with a webcam, voice control or keyboard.
Automatic speech synchronization. Character Animator automatically records your voice and facial expressions, including lip movements, ensuring perfect synchronization of speech. Just talk into the microphone.
Manage facial expressions using the keyboard. Make your characters as realistic as possible with simple shortcuts that trigger flashing, wrinkles, etc.
Control the breathing of characters. You can automatically add realistic respiratory movements and even control the frequency of breathing.
Realistic lip movements. You no longer need to additionally draw your mouth in Photoshop or Illustrator. Just open and close your mouth before the included webcam, and your character can move his lips and speak.
Restriction of movements. Specify which parts of the character's body should be moving and which parts are immobile so that your character can stretch and bend, as if alive.
Simple animation of the limbs. Make the character wiggle with the mouse or pull one of the limbs away from the body of the puppet.
Minor movements. In order for your characters to move as if they were alive, different parts of their bodies should react to surrounding conditions. Model hair fluttering in the wind, swaying earrings, flapping wings and much more.
Adding particle effects. Create a scene in particle mode: simulate falling snow, rain, artillery fire and other similar effects.
Create multiple options. Record the movements of the puppet and play them on the timeline. Place the puppets on the stage and record the individual dialogue tracks for each of them. For each puppet, the track element will be displayed, which can be trimmed or shifted in time.
