I'm just starting with Character Animator and I'm looking at everything online, as you do, just to get a feel of the program.

I saw the video below.. that was made in 2012... and was really excited by this... as this is what I'm looking for to make my dog, Finn to talk!

However, I'm not a user of After Effects, I just subscribed to CC, and AE, for the CA app, so my question is, is this feature now a part of CA and if so how do I use it? Where do I find information in the manual or tutorials?

Automatic lip sync is available in Character Animator via its Lip Sync behavior. More info here:

Adobe Character Animator Help | Behaviors

You can find video tutorials at http://www.adobe.com/go/chtutorials or by clicking the Video Tutorials link in the Welcome panel within the application.

Hi Jeff and thanks for the prompt reply!

I can see the lip sync behaviors, but is the same method as the 2012 video shows? Drawing a line along the line of the lips?

I'm new to CA, so got some way to go, but I'll stick with it..

No, that video is of a third-party script for After Effects. It's not related to Character Animator.

In Character Animator, if you draw your layers representing the visemes in Photoshop or Illustrator, then either speak into the microphone in Character Animator or import an audio file (MP3, WAV, AIFF) and use the Compute Lip Sync from Scene Audio command, your puppet character's mouth will select the matching viseme layer based on the audio.

Hope that helps a little bit.
