Question

Mouth Puppet

I'm new to character animator and am wondering if I could create a puppet with just a mouth, nothing else. I would like to either make my owns mouths or edit premade puppets so I can just have the mouth. I want to then upload my prerecorded audio to this mouth. Then I want to take this mouth recording and place it something else on a separate platform. Is this possible?

It sounds possible. I think you would still need a head, but you could make that transparent. This video should help you place the "head' over the video like you wamt: How To Animate Your Head (Adobe Character Animator Tutorial)

Yeah so I'm making a cartoon on this software called vyond. Just want to be able to put mouths that I make in character animator onto the characters in vyond. I just wanted to be sure I could do what I want before I buy. So are you for sure I could make everything except the mouth transparent? And I would be able to put the mouth on top of something else and you would just see the mouth? Like nothing else would be blocking the thing I'm trying to paste the mouth on? If so, could you possibly show me an example of this or tell me how to do this?

Oh yeah Vyond does do lip sync. And it's solid. But you can't see syllables being pronounced or can't convey emotion while talking. I already have a plan to get around this but I was just seeing if I could do this instead. And yeah I would have illustrator or photoshop to edit the puppet, I'm just trying to see if I could get rid of everything besides the mouth. 


The only other thing I could think of is if I just created puppets that look like my characters in vyond and put them in the vyond background. I'm just not sure I have the knowledge or talent to do that. lmk if you have any tips.
