Mouth wont stay on face...

Post by tempemonkey »

I have anime studio debut and pro. I notice that when I move the bones on the head, the mouth doesn't stay on the face for either one. Every other body part moves just fine. I don't know that much about this software, any trouble shooting advice for this issue?

I also notice that I can sync the mouth to an audio file on debut but I cannot on pro. That is I double click on mouth, then I click the switch tab, then I select the audio device... Again, on debut the mouth will move to the sound, but in pro it will not. When I do these steps again for pro, it has no audio file selected, its like i never selected an audio file in the first place... Any trouble shooting advice?

Thanks in advance.

Make sure the mouth layer is a child of the bone layer and then bind the mouth layer to the bone in the head. Page 59 and 208 in the help manual.

Is the mouth a child in the switch layer? If not try putting it in and try it again. If it is already in the switch layer try this. Try deleting the audio from the project and delete any animation from the mouth layer. Now, import the audio back and try it again. Of course making sure the mouth is in the switch layer.
Sorry for bad animation
