Hi, I made all the different mouth shapes for lip syncing as graphic symbols but the visemes won't show up in the lip syncing area. The only one that is showing up is the 1st one. I was following the steps for Adobe Animate Classroom in a book 2021. Initially, I had 1 mouth shape, then, I swapped it, and deleted the old symbol in the library panel. Afterwards, I added all the other mouth shapes, for the mouth area. I don't know if that's why its not working. When I move the character from one area to another, the mouth stays with it, so it might be fine. Anyway, I added a layer with labels to the top of the mouth positions like the book said.

 

So, the visemes won't show up in the lip syncing area. Also, I added a wav audio file, and it won't show up in the lip syncing area.

 

I'll attach some pictures.

    I converted each shape to a symbol, and got the lip syncing to work. The shapes came from ai files, so I thought they were symbols automatically, because when I looked it said graphic symbol.

    Have you tried saving and restarting? Maybe update to 22.0.4?

    It looks like you've configured it well, otherwise.

    Are you applying the visemes and audio from the main timeline? Is the audio file present on the main timeline as sync stream audio?

    On the main timeline, the audio file is set to stream. It's on a layer called audio . The book said to select the instance of the mouth. So, on the main timeline, I double clicked the mouth until, the mouth positions symbol was selected. Within, the mouths positions symbol, I have the different mouth sounds on different keyframes.
