Summary

There is understandably a lot to take in with this chapter. The thing to keep in mind is there is no right or wrong process. If you feel the animation you created in Character Animator is sufficient, you don’t need to take the process any further. Using After Effects for simple or complex effects is a great option. If you need to piece clips together, add audio or other media, or even do some quick color grading, Premiere is the best pick. Having access to Adobe Creative Cloud has many benefits, including being able to dynamically link to all these files as you work. Finally, Adobe Media Encoder allows us to export in a variety of formats, as well as queue up multiple clips at once.

Next, we are going to go over some additional features that didn’t fit into our original workflow. This includes Puppet Maker, body turns, streaming, and much more!
