This is really fun to play around with. But I can't figure out how to lip sync to pre recorded audio as opposed to live.

Am I being thick?

You're not being thick, it's implemented with "engineer UI" right now.

You need to select your puppet in the timeline *and* have audio in your scene. Once you've satisfied those prerequisites, just go to the "Object" menu item and choose "Compute Lip Sync from Scene Audio".

Once that's done, you may want to experiment with slipping the audio a few frames.

Might be a dumb question but where do you get the application? I have a full access subscription but it doesn't show up in my apps list. I installed and updated all the rest but confused about this one.

Where do I get the blank template for photoshop with the empty named layers?

Really excited to jump into this program and see what it can do. After recording is it possible to clean up the lip synch or are the puppet controls pretty rigid in terms of post-manipulation?

It's possible to assign keyboard triggers to your visemes(lip sync layers) and refine the automatic lip-sync, but since this is done playing back in realtime; it's not suitable for comprehensive refinement. We're currently looking into the best way to refine your lip-sync as well as making the lip-sync better so it will need less refinement. We do know that customers will need frame level control and we currently don't have that.
