Editing Eye Movement

So I have a question about the eyes and how they work in character animator.

First a little context in what I know. So when you recorded a performance or sync a price of existing audio a track is created with the broken down shapes that are used to create the mouth movements. And these are pretty good but if you need to be edited you can drag and trim them kind of like you would a scene in adobe premiere. Now when eyes get recorded it looks like a single track is created with what I’m assuming is the data that is recorded from the eye performance

What I want to know is there anyway to edit or trim this data without re-record your performance? Is there some sort of way to get into this eye track and manually go in and fix any unwanted eye movement?

    Err, yeah. So I checked them all and ep 20 is the only one that got completely messed up. I will need to re-record.


    Sigh! I re-recorded episode 20 but the sound quality is bad this time! Project Wookie, Episode 20: Recording Eye Movements - YouTube

    Hello.

    This is the Animate forum. What you want is the "Character Animator" forum!

    But no, there are no Visemes for eye movement in Character Animator. You can adjust the timeline a bit, but its probably easiest for you to just record over your current scene and ONLY cue the Eyes for recording. Then just have them look straight, blink or whatever you want to happen.

    Hope that helps.

    cheers!

    As Mark said - you can record over the top, you can also split a recording and trim (and move) the parts afterwards. Note you can also use the mouse instead of webcam if you need more precise movements.
