Day zero - here we are, release the keyframes! Boy oh boy this is so freaking amazing, I'm falling back into workaholism!

Thank you for making all these videos to help us all learn. I was getting into this program about 2 years ago then my mom got sick and passed away and I stoped playing with all my gear and packed it away. But here we are 2 year laters and your still making awsome Tutorial videos thanks .. cant wait to get back to creating👍

I think I have said this several times already, but CH was the catalyst for jumping on the CC train, this app has opened up so many options for me in terms of animation and now with keyframes, I can do so much more in a scene right here that I would have had to have layered in AE! Keep going guys, this is awesome!!

Oh my God! Can you believe I was using PowerPoint for my stories until a few days ago? I'm using Adobe for the first time in my life and I can already do amazing things with your tips. Give me a little more time to learn and I know I'll improve a lot. Thanks, Dave. You are awesome. Many kisses from Brazil.

this tutorial has been super useful. Keyframes are such a handy tool and this video in particular has saved me a lot of manual work. I am new to Character Animator, working on my first project. Thanks for this video, its very useful.

aaah man Ch keeps getting better every year, this is dope

You're either making these videos all in one take or editing them so smoothly it looks like you are!! Either way, you really seem effortless and relaxed and you make it look easy to make these tutorials when I know there's no way it's easy at all!! ;) Great job.
Also <3 <3

Wow this is amazing, built in keyframes in Character Animator. I played with After effects Key Frame for my first episode for my cartoon channel. The second episode needed some transforms with a curtain going up and down, it is awesome I can do everything inside Character Animator itself. This tutorial rocks. Also I had to use some dancing stars and moon in my second episode, looks like the clouds moving concept is going to come in handy for that. Great tutorials as usual. Thanks a lot :)

Wow...I felt in love with Character Animator!!

[WillyDAVID]

Te speed graphic editor es a great feature!

Dave, I've added a simple puppet movement along the X axis using keyframes and a trigger. Not fancy walking, more like sliding toward a 2nd puppet. Will probably be a week before it's done. It's a 2nd Resident Alien parody--just a minute or two.

Excellent tutorial. I hope the product keep on grows.

This is getting better and better. Amazing!

You made me so happy. I love all the new features. I will be obcessed with animating now
:-).

You guys really, REALLY need to have a keyframe function for draggable handles! This is AMAZING software but that seems like that would be one of the first functions you would make for an animation software program! I'm loving the ACA a ton and want to use it as an alternative to what I'm using now but some things seem to be harder than they have to be. You should check out some of my tutorials about Anime Studio Pro. This one is how I make Actions which are exactly like your triggers but it's just a little easier to set up and visualize in AS. But having the ability to assign keyboard buttons to trigger specific animations is brilliant! Both programs could use functions of the other really! Anyway, yeah, please let the hard-working folks at Adobe that keyframing poses is where it's

[Aligtor]

This is exactly like adobe after effects! It's sooo easy ty

[ClownXmachina]

The key to happiness is any KEY inside Ch :)

I made a simple butterfly with wings that cycle. It worked in the scene until I hit play in the timeline. .. edit.. nm, it seems to be working now.. think the system needed a reboot.. now to see if I will be able to change it's direction..

[adnankatijan]

Okay Samurai : maybe next time for improvement, you should add Stopwatch for Audio Input. it will help a lots ..

[linuxzero]

Hi. Thanks for all your work on these tutorials. Has anything changed with the Schizzler puppet? I can see the functioning "Replays" in the right hand panel. However there are no keyframes or anything else in the timeline. Also If I play the scene, the puppet does nothing.
