  • Anyone Remember This Lip Sync PLUGIN?

    Posted by Chris Irving on January 12, 2006 at 6:30 pm

    Hey Everyone,

    I remember this plug-in for after effects that some guy made (shareware – basically free or very cheap) that did very rough lip sync using the time remap method automatically.

    It was very rough – but it was funny, in a crude sort of way. I have a project where I have no time to animate and crude is the brief.

    Anyone remember who this guy is or where to find the plugin?

    Thanks in advance,

    Chris

    Yes, that is a wonderful tutorial…

    But what I am looking for was this plugin that basically automated the same process. Albeit in (perhaps) a crude way.

    Anyone remember this?

    This guy made a couple of different plugins.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Tks!

    Chris

    A quick and cheap alternative would be to use CC Split 1 or 2 as a mouth tied into the audio of the speech.

    Run Animation > Keyframe Assistant > Convert Audio to Keyframes, then pickwhip (Distort > CC Slit 2) the split 1 and split 2 properties to the Left and Right Channels of the Audio Amplitute Layer just created. I like Split 2 because you can double or triple the opening of the lower lip by adding *2 or *3 to the end of the expression for split 1.

    You can animate a minute of speech in just a few minutes.

    If you want to add realism or ham it you can add a tongue/teeth (inside of mouth) layer beneath the face layer where the split is applied.
