Character Animator Tips & Tricks (September 2016)

Walk through some new Adobe Character Animator tips & tricks, including animating with two characters, relinking files, sharing projects, swapping mouth sets, adding background hair layers, and a community spotlight section.

0:00 Intro
0:52 Multiple Puppets - Character Animator
7:28 Multiple Puppets - After Effects
10:04 Multiple Puppets - Live via Syphon
11:30 Relinking Files
12:36 Community Spotlight: Gorlog
15:26 Community Spotlight: Virus & Hacker
18:50 Sharing Projects
21:19 Background Hair Layers
23:26 Swapping Mouth Sets
25:45 Outro

Correction: In the "Sharing Projects" section, doing "Save As" does not necessarily gather all your reference files. You should also do "File / Copy Media Files Into Project Folder" to ensure all your media is properly collected.

Special thanks to Bernard A. and Lynne Mitchell for letting me use their puppets as examples!
