Hi, I'm having trouble with my penguin puppet, I can't move the eyes or eyebrows, the rest is working great, can anyone please help Dropbox - pinguino.ai and this is the project Dropbox - pinguino.chproj
Just FYI, you exported the .chproj file - this file actually contains nothing (zero bytes long). So I imported the AI file. I think there are a few issues going on - I did a number of things (not sure they are all necessary) and got it going.

I will try to look later tonight, but my debugging process I documented at Debugging Adobe Character Animator Eyes – Extra Ordinary, the Series
Its usually a stray pupil range tag.

Oh, it can save a lot of time if you can use the menu to "export puppet" which creates a ZIP file (with a .puppet extension). Its easier to transport between machines.

After doing all the the above, the eyes started moving. I don't know if they were all required. I may try a recording from scratch (I just tried some quick hacks to see what was going on). I can send the puppet back after that.

Ha! I tried to do a video this time. I started by deleting the unused profiles and it started working. So not uploading such a boring video after all 😉
that is, the layers don't seem to be needed - groups worked fine.
