Connect Character Animator puppet to a specific wav file

  • January 10, 2023

I have recorded five wav files for one Character Animator video with one puppet.

When I selected Timeline > Compute Lip Sync Take on the first wav file, it automatically connected it to the puppet.

I did it again on the second wav file, and the puppet won't use the visemes it created. 

I don't want to create a 6 minute wav file and do the whole thing perfectly. I want to create shorter wav files and concatenate them all in one Scene. That way I can re-record shorter files if I mess up.

Question: How do I connect subsequent wav files to the same solo puppet throughout the video?

(And I can select the wav files in the Timeline panel to move them up or down, but I cannot select the Visemes rows in the Timeline panel to move them up or down.)

Thanks in advance!

    Shorter takes is how I always deal with the audio in my CH scenes. I usually load the audio, add it to the scene, and make sure the proper take (and puppet) is selected before generating the lip sync from the audio take. What seems to be giving you difficulty?

      Thank you. I just experimented, and this is what worked: [1] Select the speaking puppet in the Project panel at the top left. [2] Select the wav file in the Timeline under the video. [3] Select Timeline > Compute Lip Sync. Repeat steps 1-3 for every wav file you import.

        in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

         

        p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
