Free Online Cartoon Maker (Adobe Express Tutorial)

Introduction

Adobe Express offers a free tool called "Animate from Audio" that allows anyone to create character animations by simply recording their voice on a website. The tool automatically generates character animations based on the voice recording. Recently, Adobe Express made updates to the tool, allowing users to do even more with their characters. Now, users can bring their characters from "Animate from Audio" into a full Adobe Express project and perform various actions, such as having multiple characters talk to each other, layering elements in front or behind characters with transparency, and much more. This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a free animated cartoon online using Adobe Express.

To get started, visit the "Animate from Audio" quick action link provided in the video description. The tool has a wide range of characters and backgrounds to choose from, along with different sizes suitable for social media. Select your character, background, and size, then click the record button. Record your voice or dialogue and Adobe Express will automatically generate a custom animation for your character with lip sync and various movements.

Once you're satisfied with the generated animation, you have the option to either download the animation or open it in Adobe Express for further customization. Opening it in Adobe Express allows you to add additional scenes, adjust volume and opacity, apply effects, and layer different elements on top of your character animation. You can also add text, animated elements, and even import video backgrounds to enhance your cartoon.

One limitation to note is that by default, the character animation comes with a fixed background. This hinders the ability to layer elements behind or in front of the character. However, there is a workaround for this. During the character selection process, select the transparent background option. This will allow you to import video backgrounds or other elements and layer them with your character animation. It creates a new level of creative flexibility.
