Have you ever wished you could bring a drawing to life, but don’t have a degree in animation? Thanks to this nifty Adobe tool, you can animate characters using just your voice—no experience required. Let me show you how.
How I Create Character Animations Using Adobe Express
Animating your graphics, text, and images in the Adobe Expresseditor is pretty simple thanks to the Animation feature. But this isn’t the only animation tool that Adobe Express has to offer.
EnterAnimate From Audio, a free Adobe Express tool that lets you animate pre-drawn characters in real-time using just your voice—or any audio really. Every time the program picks up an audio signal, it animates the character along one of the pre-drawn paths.
There are over 200 characters you can choose from, and all of them move a bit differently. You can also choose from over 100 different backgrounds, and select one of six different aspect ratios. So make your selections and get ready to record.
ensure you have a mic plugged in and hitRecord. I also recommend turning onEnhance Speechfor better-sounding audio. ClickDoneonce you’re happy with your recording.
If you don’t want to record audio, you may upload any audio file viaBrowse, which is is the option I went for. It will take a few minutes for Adobe to generate your results.
Once the results are ready, Adobe will load a preview that you’re able to play through and also trim using the handlebars on the sides. You can go ahead andDownloadthe video straight to your device, or you canOpen in Adobe Expresstocontinue editing your results.
Here’s what mine ended up looking like:
And that’s all there is to it! Who knew character animation would require this little time or skill? Visit the Animate From Audio tool, select your character and background, record your audio, and await a fun creation.
