Get into character.

Your performance can bring a character to life. Using your webcam and microphone, Character Animator revolutionises live-performance animation with automatic lip sync and face and body tracking.

Bring art to life.

Puppet Maker lets you customise a character. Use built-in puppet templates or start with art from Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. Then animate with your webcam and the power of Adobe Sensei.

Take control with triggers.

It’s easy to build timesaving triggers, so you can create and save desired movements to keyboard shortcuts. Triggers put you in control when you want your character to change expressions or make a gesture.
