Today at IBC in Amsterdam we gave attendees a sneak preview of some of the best next features coming soon to Adobe Character Animator CC.

0:47 Audio & Lip Sync Improvements: Timeline waveform display, better automatic lip sync, and viseme copying/pasting into After Effects.

1:33 New Triggers Panel & Control Panel: Dedicated Triggers panel with simple drag and drop functionality and swap sets, new Controls panel for a visual live dashboard of buttons, knobs, sliders, and MIDI support.

2:52 Eye & Eyebrow Improvements: Snap Eye Gaze checkbox for less floaty pupils and raised and lowered eyebrow tilt options.

3:39 New Behaviors: Layer Picker for controlling a sequence of layers in multiple ways like mouse, audio, or arrow keys, Fader for fading artwork in and out, and Physics for dynamic and colliding objects.

4:36 Rigging Improvements: Auto-attach for independent parts, better Rig mode UI, and clipping mask support.

5:37 Pose to Pose Animation: Set the head to stick on and ease between poses, giving a less realtime look.

No release date has been announced just yet, but stay tuned!
