Re: Animating Photo Mouths in After Effects
I’m working on a video where I have video of a person talking and I want to superimpose a photo of another persons head on top. That’s straight forward, but I want the mouth of the photo to move in time with the speech.
I don’t want it to be anything clever, just the mouth and chin to move up and down, the rougher looking the better. I’m just not sure where to start with animating the mouth; would it just be a case of having a layer for the head, a layer cut down to just the jaw, parent them and go from there?
Any guidance would help, thanks very much!

There are several good and relatively simple resources on lip synching, including some tutorials here on the COW. Here’s an After Effects Community Help search that brings some up.

For the Monty Python look, your method would work great! Convert your audio to keyframes and make a simple expression to control the mouth movements to the audio amplitude.
