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.
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!

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.

@@okaysamurai I looked through the other comments after posting my own, and realized that a good percentage were saying much the same thing.

Hello Dave, I have a question. Q. If I create a RUclips channel of any niche (face less RUclips 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 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
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.
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: ruclips.net/video/sc9S65Zn9XQ/видео.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.
I'm curious if it's possible to use it for commercial purposes to generate revenue on RUclips without any copyright issues. I just can't seem to find the terms and conditions anywhere.
@@okaysamurai There's a desktop version for Animate from Audio? ... or Adobe Express? (Or is this conventional Character Animator you're referring too?)
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.
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
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 - ruclips.net/video/0Va3_e-4bKE/видео.htmlsi=FGidXxkDy9tfcoPj. A lot of people do this and it works great!
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
But I want to be able to design my own non human character. Is this possible and animated with lip sync, voiceover, etc. Maybe not. Most animation software has set characters which are all human like. There is no freedom of animating your own character and with consistency. 😢😢😢😢
Are you the voice of After Effects tutorials? I love your character animation videos on RUclips 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!
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 RUclips Channel. Am I allowed to do this? Thx so much 🙏
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!
I keep trying but I cant quite get it...I got a character on one page and it is talking and I got the other character on that same page and he is not talking. So thatss good. But I cant figure out the next page. Im just recording my own voice for fun.
@@okaysamurai They didnt know...this is the answer I got. "this feature was designed only for one characters so creating multiple will be challenging. The only way I think it could be done would be to create separate videos for the characters and then merge them in a single video project. Complex video editing might be challenging Adobe Express too."
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.
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.
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.
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!
For the exported video - definitely. For the project itself - you would need to select "Open in Express" at the end, choose invite collaborators, and then share the link with full edit access, no Adobe ID required.
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
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.
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: ruclips.net/video/7C43tGq-30A/видео.htmlsi=i_HxAo4_heIlihjw
Yeah I would try different formats, browsers, file sizes, etc. Let us know in the forums if it still doesn't work: community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-express/ct-p/ct-adobe-express
Most Express characters don't walk, for that you would want to upgrade to the desktop version. ruclips.net/video/gv_2Upvtm-M/видео.htmlsi=hVwLcNP6gcYUyjX_
@okaysamurai Thank you for your fast reply and the amazing content that you created with us. 🙏 ❤️ Makes sense now, was nice to make them move directly from the recording process maybe this feature will come soon, and will make the process much easier.
I would export them with a green screen and then key it out in Adobe Premiere or After Effects. Here's how I mix my characters and real life: ruclips.net/video/LrEtyZyfs9s/видео.htmlsi=i87Ef1NK0I6r21L2

May be a temporary bug - I have seen this sometimes too. Try again an hour later and see if it works.
Can this be used for commercial purposes?
Yep!
@@okaysamurai THANK YOU!
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.
Thank you so much! @@okaysamurai I've put something on the official forums site.
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!
Can a cartoon be shared with anyone, without having them create an Adobe account?
For the exported video - definitely. For the project itself - you would need to select "Open in Express" at the end, choose invite collaborators, and then share the link with full edit access, no Adobe ID required.
Is there a way of uploading my custom character and then animate?
No, only on the desktop app: ruclips.net/video/EDy2D8riDvY/видео.htmlsi=TzCTxcDdvZTwRA_M
hello Can I make my own character like this? And what do we need to do to move such characters, such as walking?
Yes, you can make your own characters in the desktop version of Character Animator: ruclips.net/video/hK-DjtiPzRs/видео.html
Thanks 🎉😮
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.
If uploaded on RUclips, will it get copyright strike?
Nope!
@@okaysamurai Thanks for the reply ❤️
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
Does this feature a random character generator option? It would be cool to at least have a unique avatar for creation
Animate from Audio currently only has 50+ premade characters. For custom characters, you'll want to use the desktop Pro app.
Can i monetize youtube videos..If i use this animation?? Pls pls ans..pls!!Advance Thanks
Yep!
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
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.
Awesome..next youtube channel idea just found❤
Can you also upload your own character and create animation ?
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
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.
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 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: ruclips.net/video/JJ7ejWSw4eQ/видео.html
You sir are a great instructor.
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.
This was fantastic and hilarious 😂 You're so good. Looking forward to more videos.
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: ruclips.net/video/7C43tGq-30A/видео.htmlsi=i_HxAo4_heIlihjw
The thing is it always take hours to process my recorded audio.... So it doesn't work for me in any way....
Hmmm, that seems strange...note it is limited to 2 minutes at a time and under 100MB. Mine usually renders in a couple of minutes.
For me it says 2 minutes and 1 GB... My files are always smaller and in the end they just fail... Maybe I try another file format....
@@okaysamurai
Yeah I would try different formats, browsers, file sizes, etc. Let us know in the forums if it still doesn't work: community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-express/ct-p/ct-adobe-express
As always, another great tutorial.
Solid green color as a background and then chroma key it out in a video editor
must install the application?
No, Animate from Audio is entirely web browser based.
what about walking ???? its very important for a complete story!
Most Express characters don't walk, for that you would want to upgrade to the desktop version. ruclips.net/video/gv_2Upvtm-M/видео.htmlsi=hVwLcNP6gcYUyjX_
What is the licensing for this? are you able to use this for advertising?
Completely free to use however you want.
Thank you. So good explanation !
This tool is so good! Can I use the characters on my channel without copyright penalty?
Yep absolutely.
thank you so much for this great video.
Great tutorial. Thanks very much!
Can you make the animate characters Jump or Walk?
Not on Express, but yes on the desktop app. ruclips.net/video/ZTevkEadskk/видео.htmlsi=5_rhpmHr9kT_05GA
@okaysamurai Thank you for your fast reply and the amazing content that you created with us. 🙏 ❤️ Makes sense now, was nice to make them move directly from the recording process maybe this feature will come soon, and will make the process much easier.
It will be copyright or not ?
Nope, all the characters are copyright free.
Will youtube monetise using it for free? Please reply
Yes, you can use anything you make on Express and monetize it.
Bro wibeside nahi mil raha hai link do @@okaysamurai
Very helpful, thanks!
Can you do this from the app in a phone??
Yep!
How do you integrate these characters into a real life video?
I would export them with a green screen and then key it out in Adobe Premiere or After Effects. Here's how I mix my characters and real life: ruclips.net/video/LrEtyZyfs9s/видео.htmlsi=i87Ef1NK0I6r21L2

Hahahaha oh Marky Mark.
I may have to make a cartoon version of it…
can i add my own character to animate?
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 these characters be monetized?
Yep!
Çok teşekkür ederim. Thank you very much, the experession is simple, easyly understandble, and doable even to an unnative English speaker and unexperienced adobe user.
how do we upload our own image to animate from audio?
Currently this is only possible in the desktop version of Character Animator.
Honestly, I'd rather just get the mouth synch as a tool that was free (no extra character animation). And I'd like to use my audio file for it.
You can absolutely do this in the desktop version of Character Animator.
This is a program or app?
What I'm showing here is a website! But there is a desktop app called Character Animator that is the pro version of what's happening online.
I wish I could edit/modify what they are wearing.
