Lock Lipsync Mouth to Face (AS Debut 6)

Still new to Anime Studio, so forgive me if this is fairly basic. Am trying to import a mouth on to Winsor's face to do auto lip-syncing. I built just his head from the component parts in the AS 5 folder (I'm using AS Debut 6) except that I imported the mouth from the pull-down list. Locked everything to bones layer, and everything moves together except the mouth. I've tried dragging and dropping the mouth layer to the bones layer, and it turns red like it's supposed to, but when I move his neck and head the mouth doesn't go with it. The lip-syncing works perfectly; just won't move with the head. Any suggestions?

Many thanks!

Here's what you want to do: at frame 0, select the mouth switch layer. Now select the Bind Layer tool, which looks like a little piece of paper with a bone laying on it. Now click on the head bone, or whatever bone you want the mouth to move with.

Voila!

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. Previously I did try the "bind layer" button, but I didn't do the third step of then clicking on the head bone. Makes sense! Will give it a shot this evening.

Merci!
