Eye-opening animations. In eye-opening time.

Character Animator uses your expressions and movements to animate characters in real time. It’s so fast, you can livestream while you work to wow audiences every step of the way.

Get a move on.

Your performance can bring a character to life. Using your webcam and microphone, Character Animator revolutionises live-performance animation with automatic lip sync and face and body tracking, powered by Adobe Sensei AI.

Bring art to life.

Customise a character in Puppet Maker, try built-in puppet templates or start with art from Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. Then animate with your webcam and the power of Adobe Sensei AI.

Take control with triggers.

It’s easy to build timesaving triggers, so you can create and save desired movements to keyboard shortcuts. Whether you want your character to change expressions or make a gesture, triggers put you in control.

Start your own animation studio.

Animation has never been more accessible. From online content creators to professional animators, everyone can craft high-quality animation quickly and easily with automatic lip sync, premade templates and seamless integration with other Adobe apps.
