00:00:00.410 --> 00:00:03.364
Before we jump in and start animating, you'll want

2
00:00:03.364 --> 00:00:06.410
to be familiar with the basics of Character animators

3
00:00:06.410 --> 00:00:10.570
user interface, so let's take a quick tour.

4
00:00:10.570 --> 00:00:12.554
Once you launch Character animator, you'll

5
00:00:12.554 --> 00:00:14.640
find yourself on the home screen.

6
00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:17.786
This is where you can open projects,

7
00:00:17.786 --> 00:00:22.020
start new projects, launch tutorials, or import

8
00:00:22.020 --> 00:00:25.050
a range of readytoanimate puppets.

9
00:00:25.050 --> 00:00:27.420
And this is just the starter pack.

10
00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:29.228
Click on the See More button and

11
00:00:29.228 --> 00:00:31.698
you'll be taken to adobe Character animators

12
00:00:31.698 --> 00:00:34.258
website, which includes even more free puppets.

13
00:00:34.258 --> 00:00:37.148
You can start with okay, moving to the

14
00:00:37.148 --> 00:00:41.062
next workspace icon, you've got your rigging workspace.

15
00:00:41.062 --> 00:00:43.782
This workspace can look a bit overwhelming

16
00:00:43.782 --> 00:00:45.878
at first, but show no fear.

17
00:00:45.878 --> 00:00:48.128
In later videos, you'll learn to use the

18
00:00:48.128 --> 00:00:50.868
rigging workspace to tag body parts, set up

19
00:00:50.868 --> 00:00:54.170
keyboard triggers, and dial in advanced behaviors.

20
00:00:54.170 --> 00:00:56.714
Next, you've got the Record workspace

21
00:00:56.714 --> 00:01:00.932
for recording and editing standalone videos.

22
00:01:00.932 --> 00:01:04.611
And last, you have a dedicated stream workspace for

23
00:01:04.611 --> 00:01:08.346
live streaming on social media or web conferencing apps.

24
00:01:08.346 --> 00:01:11.010
So those are the four workspaces.

25
00:01:11.010 --> 00:01:13.482
Last bit on this topic if a workspace

26
00:01:13.482 --> 00:01:15.660
ever gets weird on you, you can always

27
00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:19.708
go up to Window Workspace and reset to

28
00:01:19.708 --> 00:01:22.610
restore the given workspace to its default layout.
