Adobe Character Animator is a desktop application software product that combines live motion capture with a multi-track recording system to control layered 2D puppets drawn in Photoshop or Illustrator. It is automatically installed with Adobe After Effects since CC 2024 [1] and is also available as a standalone application that you can download separately. It is used to produce both live and non-live animation.

- Whats new?
- 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 live stream while you work, to wow audiences every step of the way.
- Create a character in seconds: Turn any art into an animated character with your webcam, powered by Adobe Sensei AI. Import art from Illustrator and Photoshop, or start with built-in character templates.
- Put your best face forward: Your performance can bring a character to life. Using your webcam and microphone, Character Animator matches your expressions — from syncing lips to tracking eyes — to animate in real-time.
- Animations with legs — and arms and heads: 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.
