Eye-opening animations. In eye-opening time.

Create animations for cartoons, an animated series and live broadcasts. Or live stream your character on social media and wow your friends.

    Turn any piece of art into an animated character using your webcam and new Characteriser, powered by Adobe Sensei AI. Or create characters by modifying the built-in character templates available in Character Animator or importing art from Illustrator CC or Photoshop CC.

  • Put your best face forward.

    Easily bring your character to life through your own performance. Using your webcam and microphone, Character Animator matches your expressions — from syncing lips to tracking eyes and facial features — to animate your character in real time. Look surprised, happy or angry and your character does, too.

  • Animations with legs — and arms and heads.

    Getting your character to move doesn’t take a lot of work. Control gestures like waving with your keyboard or MIDI device. Movements can be saved as buttons, so they’re easier to remember than key commands.

  • It’s showtime.

    Send your characters out into the world. Go live to broadcast or Facebook, YouTube or other platforms. Or bring your characters into Premiere Pro CC or After Effects CC to include in bigger projects.

    Speaking of cartoons, see how Cartoon Donald Trump on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was made possible with the help of Character Animator.
