Making Your First Character - 2016 Version (Adobe Character Animator Tutorial) Video

(Note: This is an older video, so some parts may be outdated in the latest release: stapling has been replaced with auto-attaching, triggers have their own panel now, lip sync has a single editing track in the timeline, and more. See https://youtu.be/MUtRnMMOTmo for a more recent full workflow tutorial.)

Adobe Character Animator is a performance capture animation tool that is part of After Effects CC. It takes Photoshop and Illustrator files, and allows you to control them in realtime using your face and voice through a webcam. This in-depth tutorial shows a complete end-to-end workflow, from drawing the character all the way to a final export. You will need Character Animator Preview 4 or later to access the features shown here.

About the Site 🌐

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥

Origins of the Idea 🌱

The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠

Challenges Faced 🤔

Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.

Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍

Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️

The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.

About YouTube 📺

YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟

Content and Users 🎵

Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.

While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.

Monetization and Impact 🤑

YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.

As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
