Lip Sync

[The_Mercenary]

Do you know if anyone developed a lip sync type thing for flash yet? I'm personally getting tired of having to animate mouths opening and closing. Isnt there any way to check to see how how high or low the wavelength is and have a MC go to a certain frame according to the wave??

hmm. While It makes things slightly easier, you still have to the ugly work of getting the mouth peaces to match with the audio. I mean something that'll autmatically deside stuff like that just by importing a sound and it'll do the rest.

there were plugins like that for 3ds max ages ago... lipsynch based on just the waveform volume looks awful though.

one way to make things a bit easier is to have a mouth mc with a few frames named like the sounds. in the mc that holds your audio, put a text box off screen which you synch just by changing the letter of the sound in the text box. the mouth MC's onEnterFrame reads your textbox.text and sends the mouth to that frame.

I was thinking of doing something like that. I might try it. I was thinking of doing it in a harder way, I was gonna have variables on the timeline control it, but the textbox is alot easier.
