Intro To Adobe Character Animator

Adobe Character Animator is a fun and accessible way to create performance capture animated characters. If you've never used it before, this is a great place to start. We'll begin by setting up your webcam and microphone and bringing in a basic character to control. Then we'll show a few different ways to control them, including your face, voice, mouse, and even your full body movements. We'll then run through a tour of some of the primary panels in the app, like the Project and Triggers panels. Next we'll record a short animation and learn how to edit multiple performances together or make tweaks to takes in the timeline. Finally, we'll export out a video and learn how to bring our creations into other video software like Premiere Pro and After Effects.
