I'm a beginner to using character animator so i used the blank face template and modified it. I've checked tutorials and all the mouth files are there and in the right place. In this example, i tried saying 'this is my puppet in character animator' and this happens:
Cool, thanks. Much better Now.
The video shows the lip Sync is not working. The Face behavior can do smiles and ‘oh’s without lip sync, which is what you are seeing. All the other mouth positions are generated by lip sync.
The track you show about is similar - not showing any visemes. (You do need to be careful for long tracks - e.g. 5 mins - if you zoom out too far they get so narrow they disappear.) But I suspect they are just not there.
When recording, do you have the microphone on? When you play back the recording, do you hear your recorded voice? It may be the microphone is not working, so the lip sync (based on sound analysis) has nothing to work on.
You can right click in the area below the lip sync track to manually add visemes (the blank area next to the “visemes” heading in your screen shot). If you manually add a few, play back, and they work, that would reinforce the microphone not working.
The other thing to check is in preferences Character Animator under audio settings has its only audio input controls. You might check that as well - the default might not be correct for your machine.
