Go all-pro with all the features.

When you’re ready to take your animations to the next level, discover all that you can do with Character Animator pro features. Create customised characters, rig them to move just like you do and livestream while you work to wow audiences.

Get into character.

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.

Bring art to life.

Puppet Maker lets you customise a character. Use built-in puppet templates or start with art from Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. Then animate with your webcam and the power of Adobe Sensei.

Take control with triggers.

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

See what new can do.

Character Animator is always getting better, with new features rolling out regularly. And with your membership, you get them as soon as we release them.
