This major news was released with an alluring sneak peek video on YouTube and hyped thousands of creatives who have been eagerly waiting for this feature.\u00a0The huge update which Adobe prepares now, promises\u00a0more precise and fluid animations in Adobe Character Animator. Currently,\u00a0animators have to do this by exporting their work to After Effects. Once the update is officially released, this won&#8217;t be necessary anymore &#8211; animators will be able to do a more advanced animation right inside Character Animator.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>What do we know so far?<\/h5>\n<p>Adobe Character Animator&#8217;s new update will provide\u00a0animators with much more control over the animation without leaving the software. Creatives will be able to<strong> keyframe traditional controls like position, scale, and rotation, as well as other character and behavioral parameters.<\/strong> Animators will be able to create\u00a0keyframe specific values that will synchronize with specific points in the timeline.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>How will it work?<\/h5>\n<p>The principle of working with keyframes will be easy and seamless, especially for those who are already familiar with keyframes from other software like After Effects. In the video published by OkaySamurai who works closely with Adobe, you can see a quick demonstration of the new feature.<\/p>\n<p>In short, once you hover over\u00a0a keyframable parameter, a stopwatch icon will appear. By clicking on it, you create a keyframe in the timeline. The next step is to get familiar with the additional controls which appear in the\u00a0timeline header area. They allow you to create multiple frames fast and easily. Adobe will also provide an inline graph editor which will generally give you a greater control over\u00a0the timing factor.<\/p>\n<p>Right-clicking on the keyframes also gives you options for customization, such as\u00a0create a replay and trigger, create a take from keyframe, etc. This powerful customization options will allow you to turn any set of keyframes into a trigger. An amazing function which will help you create\u00a0animated sequences simply by pressing a single button.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the quick sneak peek demo to get an even better idea:<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/acphjYkNuWQ\" width=\"826\" height=\"464\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>When to expect it?<\/h5>\n<p>The release date of the\u00a0update is still unknown, unfortunately. The good news is that Adobe will reveal more of it\u00a0at Adobe MAX in November 2019, so we can&#8217;t wait!<\/p>\n<p>Introducing keyframes and the precision that comes with them combined with the ingenious technology of\u00a0performance capture which lays the foundation of the software will make Adobe Character Animator even more powerful software for creating complete animations. What awaits is really brilliant and will provide animators with infinite possibilities for creating impressive animation work.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of this update?
