Summary

While Character Animator allows you to press a record button and create an animation, the results may sometimes not transfer the way you intended. You can add, change, and remove actions. Being able to isolate specific actions to fine-tune them is very helpful. Even if you can’t record an animation in sequence, the timeline is powerful enough to allow for isolating actions and rearranging them to create a cohesive narrative. Finally, don’t forget you can add outside animations using the PNG sequence behavior built into the app. The more you try out these behaviors, the more possibilities you’ll find.

So, what’s next? There are several ways we can edit and enhance our production. In the next chapter, we will be exporting our work to be shared, visually enhanced through After Effects, and tightened up in Premiere.
