Adobe Character Animator Puppet is missing Error

If you have got to this page, it’s probably because, as I did, you faced the issue ‘Puppet is missing’ while using Adobe Character Animator. However, as far as the programs are under discussion, the more detailed the program, the higher are the probabilities of executing the program with an inclusion of some error. I did not find how to solve this problem on the Internet, so I will write to you a small article, which will describe how I was able to turn from this error. The “Puppet is missing error” appears when your character file cannot be located by the program. This can occur for one or several reasons and below I will focus on discussing what you can do to deal with this issue

Step 1: Check for a Puppet file

• Click on the folder in that you have imported the puppet. This is normally a file with the ending “.puppet” or “.psd”, if for instance the puppet developed was in photoshop.
• Be sure that this file has not been transferred to the other folder or deleted.

Step 2: Re-upload the puppet

• As it is obvious, you have to select the Project tab in the upper left corner.
• If the puppet was removed from the project, you, of course, have to import it again. To do this:
  • Right-click in the project area and select “Import”.
  • Locate your puppet file and click “Open”.

Step 3: Check file paths

• The thing is that, if the puppet file has been relocated to a different folder then this path will need to be rewritten.
• Check when setting up the Character Animator that it knows the location of your puppet.

Step 4: Restart the program

• Close and restart the program. Sometimes this simple action can solve problems.

Step 5: Create a new puppet

• If nothing works, you can create a new puppet. Use templates from Character Animator or create a character in Photoshop or Illustrator. Also, if you have the file of the previously created puppet in front of you, you can open it in the program that was created and save it again.

Step 6: Version Check

It will, therefore, be important to ensure that you have an updated version which is installed in your computer system. The version I was using was outdated and because of this it could not open projects from Photoshop.
