How do I lip Sync

[Evil Sock Pupet]

Ok I started useing MOHO at the begining of this year and I am haveing one probblem right now, I am haveing trobble making my charectors lip sync. I have heard it can be done I lost my tourtorials So I cannot find out how to lip sync.

I tryed adding in bones around their mouths but the whole charector moves with the bones, and goes all bendy and wavey, so any help would be really Apretiated here.

thank you to anyone in advance who helps me.

Typically, switch laters are used to lip sync - you create a separate mouth shape for each phoneme or syllable, and set the switch layer to turn on the right mouth shape at the right time.

How to determine which mouth shape to use at which time can be tricky, but there's a free lip sync program on the website that you can use, called Papagayo:

If you deleted the tutorials, you may want to re-install Moho to get them back - there are a couple examples of lip sync in there.

the easyiest way is to work with switchlayers.

therefore u set up some vectors in a switch layer group and doubleclick the sitch layer.

there u select a source audio file (rider source data).

choose ur source audio data in the next step.

moho now will automatically key the switches.

be careful u set up the vectors from open to closed.

"
switchlayer blaaa
|mouthopen1
|mouthopen2
|mouthmiddle1
|mouthmiddle2
|mouthclosed1
|mouthclosed2
"

like above^^
u shall understand, that the more vectors u group in a switchlayer the better quality of lipsync it will have.

u can use additional programs to setup keys for single letters from "A" to "Z". This might be useful, but watch lostmarbles advices for finding out the names of those programs. they r recommened on lostmarble.com somewhere but i forgot them and yet didnt have time to look em up again^^

but they r worth a try.

hope u come along with this.
