	== Overview ==		== Overview ==
	The Character Editor in ACT 3 AI ~~enables users to~~ create, ~~manage~~, and ~~customize digital actors~~ for ~~AI-generated video content~~. It ~~provides tools for casting~~, ~~styling~~, ~~motion control~~, ~~and scene integration~~, ~~allowing creators to develop believable~~, ~~reusable characters without traditional 3D rigging skills~~.		The '''Character Editor''' in [[ACT3AI\|ACT 3 AI]] is the workspace where you create, customize, and manage [[Characters\|characters]] for your projects.
			It allows writers and directors to define traits, personalities, and visual attributes, ensuring that characters remain consistent across [[Scenes\|scenes]], [[Shots\|shots]], and entire productions.

	~~== 1~~. ~~Core Functionality ==~~		The Character Editor bridges the gap between the creative side of [[AI_Writing\|AI Writing]] and the performance layer of [[Digital_Actors\|Digital Actors]].
	* Design characters from scratch or use templates
	* Apply motion-capture, voice recordings, and expressions
	* Integrate characters into scenes with props and camera logic
	* Maintain continuity across shots and episodes

	== ~~2. Character Creation~~ ==		== Key Capabilities ==
	* '''~~Morph Targets~~:''' ~~Adjust facial structure~~, ~~body proportions~~, and ~~expressions~~		* '''Profile Creation:''' Define character names, roles, and narrative importance.
	* '''~~Outfit Library~~:''' ~~Choose from wardrobe presets or upload custom~~ looks		* '''Traits & Attributes:''' Add details such as age, gender, ethnicity, occupation, and backstory.
	* '''Style ~~Filters~~:''' ~~Match character visuals to animation styles (e~~.~~g., realistic, anime, toon-shaded)~~		* '''Personality & Motivation:''' Specify emotional tone, core drives, and dramatic arcs.
	* '''~~Voice~~ & ~~Lip Sync~~:''' ~~Import voiceover~~ for ~~auto lip sync and expression matching~~		* '''Appearance Preview:''' Visualize initial looks before assigning a [[Digital_Actors\|Digital Actor]].
			* '''Voice & Style:''' Link voice presets or AI dubbing for dialogue consistency.
			* '''Reuse & Sharing:''' Store characters in the [[Actor_Library\|Actor Library]] for use across projects.

	== ~~3. Casting Interface~~ ==		== How to Use ==
	* ~~Cast roles manually~~ or ~~with AI casting assistant~~		# Open a [[New_Project\|New Project]] or an existing one.
	* ~~Filter by~~ traits ~~such as~~ age, ~~gender~~, ~~ethnicity, and tone~~		# Navigate to the Character Editor from the sidebar or script view.
	* View preview renders with selected costume, lighting, and emotion		# Click New Character to create a profile.
			# Add traits (name, role, age, personality, backstory).
			# Optionally assign a [[Digital_Actors\|Digital Actor]] for visualization.
			# Save to the [[Actor_Library\|Actor Library]] for reuse.

	== ~~4. Performance Capture~~ ==		== Example Character Profile ==
	* Import iPhone or webcam mocap for full-~~body~~ and ~~facial animation~~		{\| class="wikitable"
	* Timeline-~~based editor for aligning movements with scene timing~~		! Field
	* Sync motion and voice data to ensure natural performance		! Example Entry
			\|-
			\| Name
			\| Detective Carter
			\|-
			\| Role
			\| Protagonist
			\|-
			\| Age
			\| 42
			\|-
			\| Traits
			\| Rugged, skeptical, morally conflicted
			\|-
			\| Motivation
			\| To solve the case and protect his daughter
			\|-
			\| Arc
			\| Doubtful investigator → Driven protector
			\|}

	== ~~5. Scene~~ Integration ==		== Integration with Workflow ==
	* ~~Position~~ characters in ~~3D sets with blocking and camera metadata~~		* [[AI_Wizard\|AI Wizard]] → Suggests characters during story generation.
	* ~~Reuse character across scenes with wardrobe and prop consistency~~		* [[Script_Editor\|Script Editor]] → Characters appear in dialogue formatting automatically.
	* ~~Auto-apply visual rules (e~~.g.~~, lighting, camera depth) for realism~~		* [[Cast\|Cast]] → Characters are mapped to [[Digital_Actors\|Digital Actors]].
			* [[Storyboard_Panels\|Storyboards & Panels]] → Characters populate panels visually.
			* [[Build_Video\|Build Video]] → Ensures continuity of character presence throughout renders.

	== ~~6. Reusability & Presets~~ ==		== Best Practices ==
	* ~~Save characters as presets for use~~ in ~~other projects~~		* Define character motivations early to guide story beats.
	* ~~Store~~ wardrobe~~, voice, animation traits, and metadata~~		* Use consistent naming to avoid mismatches in script formatting.
	* ~~Apply versioning and branch edits for A/B testing~~		* Keep multiple versions (young/older, alternate wardrobe) saved under one profile.
			* Assign placeholder actors until casting is finalized.

	== ~~7. Filtering & Usability~~ ==		== Troubleshooting ==
	* ~~Smart search by character~~ name~~, role, or scene~~		* '''Character not showing in script editor''' → Check name formatting in profile.
	* ~~Tag-based system for categorizing roles (e~~.~~g., Hero, Villain, Mentor)~~		* '''Missing from Actor Library''' → Save character after editing.
	* ~~Preview cards with thumbnails and quick-edit options~~		* '''Wrong actor linked''' → Reassign via the [[Cast_Manager\|Cast Manager]].

	== ~~8. Rights & Licensing~~ ==		== See Also ==
	* ~~Watermark and copyright settings for~~ AI~~-generated actors~~		* [[Characters]]
	* ~~License dashboard for tracking usage, IP, and monetization rights~~		* [[Digital_Actors\|Digital Actors]]
	* ~~Tools for exporting characters to external tools like Blender or Unity~~		* [[Actor_Library\|Actor Library]]
			* [[Cast]]
			* [[AI_Wizard\|AI Wizard]]
			* [[Script_Editor\|Script Editor]]
			* [[Scenes]] · [[Shots]]

	~~== 9. Output Formats ==~~		[[Category:ACT 3 AI Features]]
	* Export as:		[[Category:Casting Tools]]
	* Video overlays		[[Category:Writing Tools]]
	* 3D assets (FBX, USDZ)
	* Character metadata (JSON/YAML)
	* Render as part of final scenes or standalone clips

	~~== 10~~. ~~Roadmap ==~~		[https://act3ai.com/contact Contact Us] if you have any problems using our product, or if you have questions.
	* AI voice clone integration
	* Emotion modeling via performance history
	* In-app marketplace for user-generated character packs
	* Integration with third-party avatar engines (e.~~g., ReadyPlayerMe)~~
