Lip Sync From Scene Audio Not Working

  • May 8, 2017

Hello!

I can't get lip sync from scene audio to work on one of my puppets. The track works fine for other puppets, and I've tried multiple tracks, but I get nothing. No visemes at all. My puppet is extremely complicated, so perhaps that's the problem? I have 28 dangles on each of my 7 head turns. Lip sync seems to be working with microphone input, though there is quite a bit of lag. Am I just asking too much?

I'm happy to upload my puppet if need-be.

Correct answer Dan Ramirez

OK. Found the problem and we've already fixed this bug in our internal builds. There are 196 instances of the dangle behavior on this puppet because each piece of fur(28) on each view(7) is an independent layer with a dangle behavior applied. While a bit inefficient, this shouldn't be a problem, but we had a bug where the lip sync compute process was being impacted by the complexity of the puppet. We've since fixed that bug. We did find a workaround that also worked, turn off your microphone and camera before doing "Compute Lip Sync from Scene Audio".

Hard to tell without seeing the puppet, but the complexity of the puppet shouldn't matter. Make sure the right puppet track is selected and make sure that the lip sync behavior is record armed in the properties panel(red button). If that doesn't work, if you post the file, we can debug it ASAP.

Awesome puppet!

I can also reproduce your problem which is surprising to me. I'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks!

    Link to puppet file

    Try this link. The previous link has "http://" appended to it. I tried to edit the post, but the forum is having some issues right now.


    Good morning!

    I downloaded your edit and I'm still having the same problem. I can't for the life of me figure out what's going on!
