Lip Sync
hihosilver:
Do you mean to import sound files?
spicy:
no. i mean that it would be good if anim8or could have it's own lip sync program that we could use to more easily move the lips during animation
hihosilver:
Could you explain how that would work? I'm sorry for all the questions, but I'm trying to make this more clear, as what you're saying is very general, and it would probably be nice to know how you would like things improved.
for one, I'd like to be able to have a bar you could drag or arrows you could hold that would change the morph value and update in realtime.
thecolclough:
i'm not sure exactly what spicy was thinking, but he's given me an idea here - how about the ability to play back another video within anim8or's scene mode, with the playback set up in such a way that you can play, or step forwards or backwards, in both the anim8or scene and the other video simultaneously? i.e. you advance one frame in the anim8or timeline, and the video also advances one frame, etc etc. that could be helpful for loads of stuff, because you'd then have an easy way to match your animation (e.g. lip movements, or even some types of physics simulation) to a live-action reference. from what i've seen on behind-the-scenes documentaries, it looks like the pros (e.g. at pixar) do that sort of thing all the time.

Rotoscoping/matchmoving is what you're thinking of...
