I didn't know about the silence feature in Audition. Nice approach to creating a cartoon. I've been using Adobe Express and loving it! Even did a paid video job! Thanks Dave! You must be such a fun Dad!
It starts getting just a tiny bit more complicated when you need to involve an app like Audition. Totally worth it, but it looks like I have some learning to do.
If you find a way to allow importing your own characters, you will be the best cartoon maker on the market. Everything else about this product is amazing. Add that, you win.
I absolutely love working with Adobe Express I use it all the time to create projects, books, tell stories, and create assignments, and explain things to my students. They love it. But, I would like to see little kid characters added. Also, the text-to-image feature characters are always distorted.
MAX was outstanding this year, even without being there in person, but with all the amazing Ai features for both still and video, it was was Adobe Express that really grabbed my attention. You have created something which is going to be heaps of fun, but also genuinely useful. Of course we are going to want to customize the heck out of it, and while I think we can add our own backgrounds, what would be really cool is being able to create our own characters. Is that something that might be possible in the near future? Great work guys. I love it.
That is the #1 request we hear, loud and clear. Nothing to announce now but in the meantime, you can make your own characters in the desktop app: www.adobe.com/products/character-animator.html
@@okaysamurai I looked through the other comments after posting my own, and realized that a good percentage were saying much the same thing. Since then I was wondering if the transparent background would allow a talking character to be overlaid in Premiere Pro, but then realizing that is probably what Character Animater has been able to do for years. I have had Character Animater installed for several years now, but never got around to actually opening either it or Spark, which has me thinking that one of Adobe Express' greatest plus points is its power to inspire and get us using it. I completed an Adobe survey just before MAX, and a lot of it's questions involved Adobe Express. I had to answer that I was completely unaware of it, and now, just two weeks later, I am all fired up and absorbing AE info as fast as I can find it. For me, that is entirely down to the MAX Opening Keynote, which has only had 1000 views on UA-cam on top of the 10K (at a guess) who saw it in person. I'm looking at that banner at the top of the Creative Cloud's Apps tab, and I don't think that would have had me clicking through to try it out. Firefly and Gen Fill have normalized the fantastic, and made it all the harder grab people's attention. I guess that would make you victims of your own success, but I sure as heck hope you find a way to expand the Adobe Express user base.
Hi Dave, thank you so much for sharing very precious information about creating character and animation. I have two questions if you handle, first does Ch recognize Turkish sounds too in creating mouth design? Second one why does not work my own created mouth as your does? I pay attention to layers, hierarchy plus sign etc, but it does not work pretty well.
1. CH is most trained on English, but it should work in general for every language because it's based on several universal sounds that correspond to the different mouth shapes. 2. Custom mouths are hard! I put everything I know into this tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/sc9S65Zn9XQ/v-deo.htmlsi=spB3U5AhgfbKenpx. If you're still having trouble, please upload a screenshot, video, or your File > Export > Puppet file to the official forums at adobe.com/go/chfeedback so we can take a closer look.
@@okaysamurai There's a desktop version for Animate from Audio? ... or Adobe Express? (Or is this conventional Character Animator you're referring too?)
I played with this the other day. Amazing leaps for animation. Next steps is to let us import our characters to Express or give CH the animate to audio feature! By the way, do you already have a video or can do a tutorial on how to execute a similar process to this feature in CH?
Thanks! There is no auto animation similar to this in the desktop app, with the thought that most pro users want more control. But we've heard it as a request!
@@okaysamurai Oh I want more control for sure, but on a case-by-case basis, if I can get away with something that makes my job easier, I definitely want that too. 😂
Hi Dave, thanks for your videos, I have learned a lot, also I started to use Adobe for your videos and tutorials, I am a teacher, so I would like to use puppets to teach, is there a way to use character animator like if the puppet were the teacher?, like with pre-set triggers (questions, greetings, etc), I would like to use it on a live class with elementary students, any advice?
Yeah! For live stuff I think you would want the Desktop version. This video goes into more details about it - ua-cam.com/video/0Va3_e-4bKE/v-deo.htmlsi=FGidXxkDy9tfcoPj. A lot of people do this and it works great!
This was a great video. Will there be a way to customize the characters? Like Changing the skin tones or hair? I noticed that a lot of the black animation was very dark. Also being able to offer some customization to the avatars would provide better branding for marketing.
First off this is amazing! Thank you for sharing Dave! I’m also wondering if there is a way to do the automatic animation in the pro version? I know currently it can with the mouth movements but is it possible with the gestures and facial expressions as well? That would be so helpful! Thanks!
There is a compute head movement option in there, but not the arms and other stuff. The way these quick action puppets are set up is just one big swap set with a ton of replays for the head, arms, eyes, etc. So I would recommend rigging your characters that way and then just using the timeline to add/switch between triggers - not automatic, but for the pro version that should give you a little more control.
@okaysamurai Hey Dave, Ive been working with Character Animator for the last 2 years and I absolutely love it. However, I find that the interface is not as user friendly as say Photoshop or After Effects. Is this a software that Adobe is going to continue to invest in? I'd hate to learn to master this software only to see it be decommissioned like Flash. Thank you!
I can't predict the future, but for now, we are still working on CH! I will note that we have expanded to also include Express on the web as well as the Starter/Pro modes, so that affects what we can prioritize.
@@okaysamurai Thank you so much for that feedback and thank you so much for the really informative and thorough tutorials. I have learned more about Character Animator from you personally than anyone else on youtube!
hi i want to purchase the premium version of adobe express so i can create similar content but does any one know if we can animate custom characters now? like maybe a character created with midjourney?
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 just tried the Animate Characters quick action on the phone and it worked very similarly to what I'm showing here, just with a more condensed interface. But the general workflow should be the exact same.
In the future are there more characters coming in the free version? I am doing everything from a phone no and this is a great program. Hope the free version is being expanded. Because without a pc and because the full program is a bit expansive, the free version is a real blessing. Thanks.
So could you just export the character with a transparent background back into after effects if you wanted to just get the animation done quickly and then create a longer format video rather than what seems to be short social media type things
Well, as I show here you can't download with transparency yet. For bringing a character from Express into AE, I would recommend using a solid color background like bright green, downloading, and then keying it out in AE.
Hello Dave, I have a question. Q. If I create a UA-cam channel of any niche (face less UA-cam channel) and use Adobe Animate with Audio to make my videos, will I be able to monetize my channel. Waiting for the response. Thankyou
HI Dave! i'm back with another question. it's hard to find anything outside of you that is helpful about CH and i appreciate you answering the questions i have! I have made a realistic looking rig with a forearm and bicep muscle. the only problem is how the elbow hinges warps the design. is there a way to use LIMB IK with an elbow hinge? i'd love for it to move just how the shoulder moves. please let me know if you've run into this or if theres a solution? thank you so much!
Are you the voice of After Effects tutorials? I love your character animation videos on UA-cam and i think i recognize that silky smooth voice on the "learn" tab of AE. Anyway, im just starting out and wanted to say thank you for all the content and clear and concise tutorials. I hope i can start making some cool stuff of my own to show you!
This doesn't work for me. when I add my character and save the project, the next time I open it up the animated character is not there. Instead is a box and a layer where my character was, but it has an error symbol and just says replace.
I've seen this error occasionally - sometimes for some reason the character doesn't save correctly. For important work I'd say leave your browser open for a while to make sure it syncs/saves. If it persists, please let us know in the official forums at adobe.com/go/chfeedback so we can take a closer look.
I'm curious if it's possible to use it for commercial purposes to generate revenue on UA-cam without any copyright issues. I just can't seem to find the terms and conditions anywhere.
Great video! Do you know how to save text or copy and paste it? I’m using subtitles and want to use the same font with effects without having to go back and change it each time (very time consuming). Thanks 🙏
Express doesn't have a great captions workflow yet, but I would recommend exporting out your video and using this quick action instead: www.adobe.com/express/feature/video/add-caption
@@okaysamurai thank you! Last question… I have a paid subscription for express and would like to use the characters in Animate From Audio on my Children’s UA-cam Channel. Am I allowed to do this? Thx so much 🙏
There is the auto lip sync and head movement compute functions in the desktop, but not the auto triggered arm movements - however, you could easily set up a single swap set of those and move between them. But I agree - anything that makes animation more accessible would be great to add!

Hi Dave! i have been using character animator for years now and have consistently run into a problem with glitches when using dynamic link between adobe software's. Making me have to go into frame by frame cutting glitches out of the file! I was wondering if you have run into this issue before and if there's anything I can do about it? its happens like 7 or 8 times in a span on a 2 minute clip! I'd greatly appreciate your help and I have a short screen recording I can share with you as well showing what I mean.
Dynamic link can be glitchy sometimes unfortunately. If I run into that kind of stuff, eventually I say screw it and I export on a PNG sequence and WAV instead. More manual and harder to update, but it shouldn't glitch. I think dynamic link is just finicky, sometimes it decides to work and sometimes, for whatever reason, it makes my character invisible or upside down for several frames. The PNG sequence approach should be more reliable. If the problem persists, please let us know on the official forums at adobe.com/go/chfeedback so we can take a closer look.
You could record the audio in any multitrack audio editing program. You could do two separate single tracks but I'm not sure how easy it would be to get all the timing correct.
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
When I am uploading a audio to animate the character and the audio has some silence in between. So the audio is automatically trimmed down due to which the content in the audio after silence is not animated. How to fix it?
Interesting, I have not personally seen this automatic trimming in Animate from Audio - it should still respect any silence that you have and keep that as a silent gap. 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.
I'm using Mac OS & Safari and am having trouble downloading the finished project from Adobe Express. I tried 3 times and then it finally downloaded. On the next project, I'm still trying to get it downloaded. Any suggestions?.
Hmmm that seems like an Express bug, hopefully a temporary one. I guess I would wait a little and also try a different browser as well if possible? If it keeps up I would ask in the support community: community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-express/ct-p/ct-adobe-express
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
Animate from Audio has a preset amount of characters, but try Starter mode to be able to use any .puppet file. It's the second option here: ua-cam.com/video/7C43tGq-30A/v-deo.htmlsi=i_HxAo4_heIlihjw
These characters aren't vector or editable, but the desktop version allows you to create any kind of vector character through importing an Illustrator (.ai) file.

I'd greatly appreciate your help and I have a short screen recording I can share with you as well showing what I mean.
Dynamic link can be glitchy sometimes unfortunately. If I run into that kind of stuff, eventually I say screw it and I export on a PNG sequence and WAV instead. More manual and harder to update, but it shouldn't glitch. I think dynamic link is just finicky, sometimes it decides to work and sometimes, for whatever reason, it makes my character invisible or upside down for several frames. The PNG sequence approach should be more reliable. If the problem persists, please let us know on the official forums at adobe.com/go/chfeedback so we can take a closer look.
Thank you so much! @@okaysamurai I've put something on the official forums site.
Solid green color as a background and then chroma key it out in a video editor
This is even better than the Adobe Character Animator Starter edition, and doesn't take any harddrive space... Excellent!!
Is there a way of uploading my custom character and then animate?
No, only on the desktop app: ua-cam.com/video/EDy2D8riDvY/v-deo.htmlsi=TzCTxcDdvZTwRA_M
Is adobe Character Animator able to do the same? I wish if i can animate from Audio inside CH so i can export it to other apps like AE/Pr
Not exactly, but see ua-cam.com/video/uPf-SwSoATw/v-deo.htmlsi=RDfQ86GWNQpEaiCD&t=497.
its only wotk with audition edition or its impossible make two and put together?
You could record the audio in any multitrack audio editing program. You could do two separate single tracks but I'm not sure how easy it would be to get all the timing correct.
@@okaysamurai can u make a video or one , because im tryng here to save but dont save in wav
You can use an Mp3, wav, or aif file for Animate from Audio.
Unfortunately you can only work with preloaded characters and scenarios.
Correct, in the web tool. The desktop app lets you do whatever you want. www.adobe.com/products/character-animator.html
amazing video thanks please tell mecan we use ai voice instead our voices and it could be monetized does youtube accept ai voice
Yes, you could upload an audio file with an AI voice and it will still work.
Hi is heather the wizard student free to use on youtube as im doing a vid with her . Thanks
Yep, all of our characters are free to use however you want!
@@okaysamurai Thank you samarai 🫶🏽
Why I can’t find the transparent background?
It should be in the background tab like I show here - if not please let us know with a screenshot of what you see at adobe.com/go/chfeedback!
how to change clothes or finish a mustache?
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
Can we use our own characters?
Not on the web version, but yes for the desktop version of Character Animator.
When I am uploading a audio to animate the character and the audio has some silence in between. So the audio is automatically trimmed down due to which the content in the audio after silence is not animated. How to fix it?
And I am using Adobe express in browser.
Interesting, I have not personally seen this automatic trimming in Animate from Audio - it should still respect any silence that you have and keep that as a silent gap. 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.
When I paste the character its uploading but not upload
May be a temporary bug - I have seen this sometimes too. Try again an hour later and see if it works.
I can't seem to find this on the app. Is it currently only available through the website?
Yes, this is only for Express currently.
I'm using Mac OS & Safari and am having trouble downloading the finished project from Adobe Express. I tried 3 times and then it finally downloaded. On the next project, I'm still trying to get it downloaded. Any suggestions?.
Hmmm that seems like an Express bug, hopefully a temporary one. I guess I would wait a little and also try a different browser as well if possible? If it keeps up I would ask in the support community: community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-express/ct-p/ct-adobe-express
Thanks for the reply. I'll try your suggestions! @@okaysamurai
@okaysamurai Chrome seems to have solved the problem. Hopefully, it will continue to do so. Again, thanks for the great tutorial and the help!
must install the application?
No, Animate from Audio is entirely web browser based.
can we add our own character and use adobe express to do lip sync?
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
You guys rock as usual! :).
How do we get more characters for the program.
Animate from Audio has a preset amount of characters, but try Starter mode to be able to use any .puppet file. It's the second option here: ua-cam.com/video/7C43tGq-30A/v-deo.htmlsi=i_HxAo4_heIlihjw
thank you so much . this is awsome . still i can not so that much but its a game changer
I need to customize the character, is it vector?
These characters aren't vector or editable, but the desktop version allows you to create any kind of vector character through importing an Illustrator (.ai) file.
Hello Can you tell me, How do I make the logo shine on the character?
I would probably do that with motion tracking and an Add / Linear Dodge blend mode in After Effects.
I wish I could edit/modify what they are wearing.
Custom characters aren’t available for Express, but you can make your own characters in the desktop version of Character Animator: www.adobe.com/products/character-animator.html
What is the licensing for this? are you able to use this for advertising?
Completely free to use however you want.
How can I create a character of myself, or take an image of myself and use it over a rigged character
Right now you can only do that in the desktop version. Puppet Maker is probably your best bet: ua-cam.com/video/JJ7ejWSw4eQ/v-deo.html
Can you do this from the app in a phone??
Yep!
how did you set the timing between the two talking image
That's exactly what I show at 10:44.
@@okaysamurai i did exactly what you showed but mine keep talking at same time, i already watch this video over 20times i got every thing perfect apart from the talking part, please what could be the cause
@@okaysamurai okay it can only be done with adobe audition?
Or any multitrack audio editing program.
can i add my own character to animate?
