Animation with lip sync

We have produced some simple facial animations with lip
synced voices using
TTS. When played back on pocket PC the lip sync is way out.
Is this a
limitation of the flash player or the pocket PC power.???

I'd expect to see that if the device doesn't have the
horsepower to do what
you are asking of it. See if you can optimise the animations
in some way.

  • IMovie09 Lip Sync Issue

    I read a previous thread on this topic from someone who had lip sync issues with their iMovie 09 video, but they had been using slow motion effects at some point in their video. I'm having an issue with lip syncing, but have no slow motion effects.
    It looks like this thread is aged, but I'm going to jump in. I'm having lip sync problems with iMovie '09 as well. I've got a short video (an imported FLIP HD video) that comes after a few slides I put together in ScreenFlow.
    When I export the video created in iMovie in MPEG-4 format, and play it on the Mac that I have, it looks fine. But when I play the MPEG-4 file on any of three Windows PCs I've tried it on, the lip sync is slightly off. Are there any OTHER ideas on how to fix this? One thing I tried was to export the video uncompressed and then compress it in Handbrake, but frankly I'm a ground level neophyte and therefore couldn't get the quality right. Wah-wah-wah...and thanks in advance for any suggestions!

  • Impossible to Sync Audio with Lips

    I understand that sound is measured in time and graphics in
    frames, but the sound shouldn't start from the beginning when the
    cursor is halfway into it. There must be a way around it.
    I'm animating frame by frame with no vectors. I put a .wav
    file in one of the sound channels and stretch it across the entire
    animation (few thousand frames) for a scene. Then, no matter where
    I am in the animation, when I press play the sound starts from the
    beginning.
    There is no way in hell I'll be able to sync lips with
    dialogue by playing the entire scene from the beginning every time
    just to see the sound synced with audio. I want to be able to play
    the same fraction of a second (several frames) while animating and
    KNOW WHERE IN THE SOUND I'M AT. I would have thought this expensive
    program would at least display the spectrogram or something, much
    less not play the audio from the beginning when I'm in the middle
    of the sound sprite. I've prerecorded the entire sound score in one
    Audacity file and exported it as a .wav to Director. I don't want
    to use any other sound channels or ques, etc.
    PLEASE HELP, and thank you.

    Okay,
    Since everyone's been kind enough to stick with me I'll try
    to explain what I'm doing, but its a bit of a ramble.
    I'm combining techniques of traditional animation with cutout
    animation. I've created simple character designs on paper. I then
    draw and color body parts on paper and create photoshop files of
    each body part. Using the wand selection tool I relatively quickly
    cut the drawing and make it a sort of "digital cutout" by creating
    a photoshop the drawing I cut over a blank background layer. For
    example if I want, say, a head to turn, I organized several of
    these photoshop files (each a tween of the head turning) into a
    folder and labeled the folder as a sequence for that particular
    action (HEAD_TURN_LEFT). With this method I've created walk cycles,
    heads squashing/stretching/turning/shaking, etc.
    I asked a buddy of mine who was in charge of a computer
    animation department at a local university, "Say I want a piece of
    software that will act more as a cut-out studio than a vector
    animation program. I want to be able to switch the body out every
    time it turns or switch out several arms frame by frame for when I
    want the character to raise its hand (instead of rotating a single
    arm upward each frame). This is my nightmare hybrid of cutout / cel
    techniques."
    Basically he replied that I should look into director so I
    decided to take my work over to someone who owns the program. No I
    haven't made the mistake of blowing money on Director yet because
    I'm only working with a test scene. I'm
    in the process of testing director for my needs.
    I was ecstatic to find that the sprite/cast member structure
    of director truly seemed to suit my needs perfectly and, yes, too
    perfectly. I rendered several .avi files and found that the final
    product was what I was going for, which is a sort of early Mike
    Judge look.
    I decided that I could animate each shot of my scene as a
    separate file in Director and edit them together with an editing
    program. I chose to import a background and three characters to the
    program and then add sound, preparing to animate to the sound. This
    is where I finally ran into trouble and realized that I was
    foolish....
    I created the sound file in Audacity by mixing some 16 or 17
    tracks into a stereo .wav file that I intended to import into
    Director into one of the sound channels. When I imported the sound
    it quickly became clear that this program not only won't bring in
    the spectrogram, but also how the program merely knows to cue
    sounds at specific frames but has nothing to do with synching an
    entire single file.
    I am now clear about the fact that the program is more
    oriented for playing small amounts of footage, not scenes. That
    would be fine because each file is just a short shot, but I'm not
    intending to put sound to animation. Rather, I'm intending to put
    animation to sound. The most tedious task will be lip sync, else
    there'd be a way around it. So I've dead-ended. I mean, isn't there
    at least a way to divide the sound into MANY single frame sprites?
    THAT would solve everything.
    Whew. Let me know if that makes any sense at all, and if not
    I understand. The main point here is that even if I should have to
    choose another piece of software, its going to need to use the same
    sprite/member concept. Editing software won't solve the problem and
    especially not after effects. One program is good for one thing,
    and another is good for another, so if I could just put an end to
    the issue by managing to stick with Director or a program very much
    like it, that would be preferable. Thank you for falling victim to
    this blabber.
    Sincerely,
    Darren

  • How do I get rid of lip-sync issues with iTunes 10.2.2.12?

    Hi Everyone.
    Firstly, a very Happy Easter!
    I'm having lip-sync issues with iTunes playback on my PC. The video is largely smooth with the occaisional choppiness when the CPU is made to work hard. (Playback on my iPod Touch is fine).
    The system stats for my PC are at the bottom of the post.
    The sound is produced through a Creative Live Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 card.
    Video is through a NVIDIA Geforce 6200 with 512Mb of RAM. (All video and audio drivers are up to date).
    The physical set-up is that I have iTunes installed on the C drive and my media installed on an external USB hard-drive.This isn't just a problem with 10.2.2.12 - it's been there for the last few updates.
    I suppose my main questions are:
    Should iTunes and my media be on the same drive? (Which would mean the external drive as I'm short on space on the C drive).
    Is there some combination of settings in QuickTime that will solve this? (I've tried different combinations, but it doesn't really help).
    Is the spec (below) of my PC causing any issues.
    Here's an Easter Egg for anyone able to help!!
    All the best
    BandAidUK.

  • FlashLite 2.x - Embed Video and sync animation with it!

    Hello All,
    I have been using Flash since many years and recently started FlashLite development. In Flash we can embed a video on timeline and similarly we could sync our onscreen animations and text with video on timeline. Can somebody please confirm to me if same is possible with FlashLite 2.1 ?
    As ever,
    Vinayak Kadam

    Ok guys....an update to this thread....
    I learned a few basics about embedding video in FlashLite from this link and was able to run a video in FlashLite 2.x - AS2 in device central. But I am not sure how do I sync my text and animations with the video as we would do in Flash. In FlashLite, video is not placed over the timeline, instead we have to use the Video class which has its own component with few methods to stop, pause, play etc.
    Need your help please!
    As ever,
    Vinayak Kadam

  • HT2729 Lip sync with video

    After updating to iOS6 this week, the videos I purchased from The Great Courses no longer have the sound in sync with lip motion.  Any suggestions for how to resolve this?

    Have you made sure that when you sync the movies that you pick the movie that you want synced to be synced? That or I don't know. You should bring it to your local apple store because mine doesn't work either. Oh, and if possible could you pretty please answer my question? http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2073966&stqc=true

  • Auto Lip Sync for Animation (Mac)

    Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone knows if there are any
    programs out there that will automatically lip sync your animations
    for Flash that are available for OS X. I've found a few out there,
    but they're for Windows.
    If not, does anyone have a simple trick to make it less time
    consuming? I used to mess around in Flash but it's been ages. I
    remember essentially making each character a movie? Or was it
    making the mouth a movie? It ended up being that on the timeline
    you would just press a button and the right mouth would come up.
    Uhg. I bet that sounds mental.
    Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. Just keep in
    mind my Flash knowledge is super limited.

    Hi, I know this is an old post, but I'm writing in case people are still looking for a solution.
    Our new SmartMouth extension (http://smartmouth.ajarproductions.com) works right inside Flash (and is cross-platform)!
    You can also use our free FrameSync extension to speed up any manual lip syncing.

  • SWF poor quality and poor lip sync?

    I normally use After Effects and today is my first time experimenting with Flash.
    I create virtual presenters that are filmed against a green chromakey screen. I use Keylight in AE to key the green and replace it with different backgrounds. These are then saves as .FLV files.
    In my current project the client really wants SWF files. I have tried to convince them to accept FLV's but they won't take them. So, my task is to basically convert my high quality FLV files created in After Effects to SWF's.
    I've imported the FLV into Flash and exported it again as an SWF. However, the quality is very very poor and the video is playing at half the speed of the audio, which throws the lip sync off.
    Can some please walk me through the correct process of importing the FLV and converting it to a high quality SWF file? As this is my first time with Flash it will need to be a 'take my hand'  walkthrough as Flash is very new to me and I am not at all familiar with the softwae interface etc.
    The poor quality SWF I created is attached, as well as the high quality FLV I am working from. My task is to create an SWF that replicates the quality of the FLV.
    Many thanks.

    I would take what Kglad has said a little further. Lyp syncing a live action video of a person with flash is impossible. You could probably do it with some kind of animated figure.
    The client is not always right. Unless they have a limitless budget and are willing to fund you and a team for a year or so, I would suggest that you all take a look at why they want a swf.
    If they think it is because swfs offer good quality, scalable raster graphics, in a small file size...well they are wrong. For this kind of video the file size will be just as large or larger than an FLV and it won't scale up without getting pixelated.
    If they think it is because the swf is easy to play back and an FLV isn't...well they are kind of correct. But in that case the answer is to create some kind of player that plays back the FLV.
    Those are the only two reasons that I can think of why someone would say, "Oh we have to have a swf."
    Maybe there are others?

  • Magpie or Papagayo Lip-Sync?

    Ok, I've just gotten through learning Anime Studio Pro. It's like Toon Boom. I've been wanting to learn how to do character animation for a while and Motion is not the perfect solution. Cool thing with Anime Studio is the "bone" structure so you can build and manipulate characters and design custom "actions" to do common things.
    Phenome Lip-Sync (exact mouth move matches) is done through an external program, either Magpie or Papagayo. Papagayo is free, but REALLY limited. But it basically makes a .dat file which consists of list of keyframe/frame positions and a corresponding "switch-layer." Makes it very easy to program lip moves quickly and send to Anime Studio Pro, or After Effects, Maya... etc.
    My question is this : This concept of a switch layer is really powerful: Is there a way to do this in Motion?
    FYI : A switch layer is like a group with a number of layers/drawings in it. Only one can be visible at a time. SO you can click on one and the others will all not be visible. Perfect for lip moves or expressions, hand positions, etc.
    Motion seems to be limited to having to keyframe the opacity of EVERY other layer to do this.

    Wow! Okay that is the problem with someone who has never used scripts trying out a script with thin documentation. I was looking for the script in the "Scripts" menu. I now see it under "Window". Thank you Paul.

  • How to lip sync and see the sound wave better?

    Alright, so first of all I will thank you for clicking this post!
    There's 2 questions/problems, so if you got the solution on both/one of them, PLEASE post!
    So I'm working on an animation where some guys sings and in order to make that look good, i need some good lip syncing.
    Since this is not short clips, but a whole song on 2-3 minutes, it's very hard for me to make the lip sync perfect because I have to replay from the beginning in order to hear the music.
    So question one is: Are there a way that I can play the movie in the middle and still hear the music?
    And so the second question is that I can barely see the sound waves in the Music layer, even though there's lots of music.
    Here's a picture of how big the sound waves are:
    And that's in the middle of the song!
    The problem is not that the music is too low, because it's quite high.
    So question number two is: Are there a way that I can make the soundwaves bigger in the music layer without affecting the music itself?
    Feel free to post even if you don't have the answer, so it will stay at the top till someone knows how to fix this!
    Thanks from Mistah NovaNova

    There are several ways to make the sound file, or any layer, more prominent in the timeline. In the upper right corner of the timeline window is a contextual menu. In that menu select Large. This will make all of the layers use a larger area in the timeline window. Set the frame rate to higher rate, say 100 or 150 fps. This will stretch the audio, and all of the other content over a larger space in the timeline.
    Both of the above will make the audio track easier to see. Add a layer to the timeline and place key frames at points where you need. These will aid you in managing the audio.
    I usually cut up the audio file into smaller chunks and place these end to end in the timeline, usually in different layers. The net effect on playback is that the sound plays as expected. On the timeline, I get a short chunk of content to work with. You cannot expect to maintain sync over any extended period of time in Flash, or any application like it. Keep the extent of any given synched section short and run them end to end. The audio and the visual portions of Flash are compiled separately and will be played back separately.

  • Character lip sync

    I'm looking for a program that will lip sync a character to
    audio, and
    export it a vector to be impoerted into Flash. The character
    needs to be
    able to be animated as well.
    Site Pal is close to what I'm looking for, but I need to be
    able to control
    the animation. The characters need to be able to interact
    with each other
    and change costumes.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi,
    I see that this is an old post, but I wanted to reply in case anyone finds this thread in hopes of finding such a solution.
    We have a product called SmartMouth that automatically lip syncs right inside Flash, so all the mouth shapes and keyframes remain completely editable.
    You can find it at http://smartmouth.ajarproductions.com

  • How do I get a lip sync flash frame sequence to encode properly

    I built a flash frame sequ
    ence in Premiere.  It is 2 seconds long with the
    first two frame white and the remaining time black
    frames. This is repeated for 1 minute.  If I encode it in non-compressed AVI it is correct.  If I use
    MPEG2 or H.264 to build a transport stream, I see two white frames
    as I would expect,then black frames for the rest of the sequence.  Over 15 seconds, I will start to see three frames, gray, white and gray again.  Eventually, the white or gray frame starts two frames later than it should.  I built this as a 720P/60 sequence with non-drop frame timecode.  I have tried all I frames and the same issue occurs.  The GOP structure does not seem to have an effect.  There is no audio in this stream.  It as if it cannot handle the quick and short transistion from white to black.  There are some advanced settings for MPEG 2 but I cannot see where they are explained in the Premier help document.  I need this stream to measure latency on a piece of video equipment.
    Thanks

    Bill,
    Your answer gave me a hint to what was happening.  I'm fairly new to Premier and took for granted that the preset I chose at the begining of the program would carry through to the sequence, wrong!  I found another discussion that talked about resetting the properties of a sequence.  I expanded the project box a little and saw that it said my sequence was 59.94 frame rate not 60.  I followed the instructions on the other discussion.  File, new sequence, general, editing mode, and frame rate.  The frame rate was set to 59.94 not 60.  I reset it to 60, closed all the menues and deleted the original 59.94 sequence.  The new sequence I just created shows a 60 Hz frame rate.  I exported my lip sync project as an MPEG 2 transport stream and it was correct according to our MPEG analyzer.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • How to delay the audio to lip sync? (of the entire system)

    I`m using a LED 32" LG screen via hdmi, but the audio is outputing directly via usb to my Mbox Mini, and the image have a small delay (5 frames) but the audio not, so the result is out of sync videos.
    Of course there`s tons of apps that can solve the problem by compensating, like VLC and MPlayer X, but the problem is that i`m a video editor and use FCP and Motion all the time. For playbacking with these apps (after making the 5 frames compensation) turns into a perfect results, but during video editing it`s a pain to lip sync.
    Of course as i know that the delay is 5 frames, when i output i could delay the entire audio, but it would be a pain making this everytime and for internet streaming the videos would still off sync.
    There`s anyway i can delay the audio of the entire system?
    PS: I`m using Lion 10.7,

    If you want other activity to take place, you could use a
    timeout object:
    dialogue = window().new("D_XML_Test (Greek2)")
    dialogue.filename = "path to file"
    t = timeout().new("mOpenWindow", 60000, #mOpenWindow,
    dialogue)
    -- #movie script:
    on mOpenWindow aWindow, aTimeout
    if ilk(aTimeout, #timeout) then aTimeout.forget()
    if ilk(aWindow, #window) then aWindow.open()
    end
    If you don't mind locking out activity, you could use the
    delay()
    function, but I wouldn't recommend that approach

  • CC Audio plays out of lip sync from video - Version 6 plays fine.

    If I place a single DV NTSC video clip in a timeline in Premiere Pro CC (7.0.1 (105)) - the clip is out of lip sync. I have tried software/hardware rendering with no change.
    If I open the same DV clip in a timeline in Premiere Pro 6 - the clip plays fine.
    I of course cannot open the CC clip in version 6. All I am doing here is placing a single DV clip in the timeline to cut new start/end and export to MP4 - no effects, filters, nada. I noticed the MP4's were out of sync, then noticed the originals would not play right in the timeline.

    I cleaned the cache and re-opened the project - no difference.
    On all four of the clips I was working with the video was 5 frames early, so I ended up unlinking everything and shifting the audio 5 frames and exporting.
    I also noticed I am not seeing the closed caption display. I am going to uninstall/reinstall CC.

  • DVD Lip-Sync issues on HDTV playback

    Hi, was looking for info regarding lip-sync issues after burning a DVD in DVDSP. Playback on a monitor is grand, but playback on two HDTVs have shown the entire DVD, all tracks to be out of Sync by the same time. Is this anything to do with Progressive/interlaced fields? I know that HDTV and AV systems can have issues with the processing of Progressive streams and there can be a delay with the Video which can be adjusted in their system settings but i can't expect 1000+ people to all change their settings to accommodate my DVD! lol
    I shot on DSLR 25P, edited in Premiere in 25P, exported then i imported into Compressor and dropped the DVD: Best Quality 90min preset on it (MPEG-2 Video, 720 x 576 (1,048 x 576), Dolby Digital Pro 2.0 at 192kps). Then imported them into DVDSP and burned the DVD. I can't see in the preferences or anywhere in DVDSP whether this is a Progressive or Interlaced project so i don't know what my final output is onto DVD. Perhaps it just follows what is imported as an asset and im assuming at the moment to change that i have to change Progressive to Interlaced somewhere ealier in the workflow.
    Because I shot on DSLR 25P, edited in 25P i exported, after much trial and error, the files from Premiere as : Match Source HI-Bitrate:
    H.264 (as source)
    25P AVC Coding,
    1,920 x 1,080 AAC,
    Square Pixels (1.0)
    VBR 2 Pass
    48000 Hz, Stereo (L R),
    6.32 Mbit/s
    (For some reason when i tried to use Adobe Media Encoder for batch exporting nothing happened after it opened, so i chose all my settings from Premiere export and did all the files individually).
    So just to re-cap, why am i getting Lip Sync issues when burned to DVD and played back on an HDTV? and how can i correct this issue?
    Kind regards,
    Sai Kelly
    For anyone interested in the background:
    The reason i chose the above settings was because I was having severe issues in quality of the .M2V file for the green screen sequences during interviews, particularly with people's hair when i chose to export from Premiere or Media Encoder with any kind of DVD settings. I spent a few days trying different types of exporting, methods and presets. This was the best version and i stopped once i acheived this result. Might have been simpler to continue to try a 720p version of the above before importing to Compressor. Here is the issue, you can see the 'snowy' hair problem:
    some of the different settings i tried:
    Ignore 'Quality 50' below, i changed it to 80 or 100 after the screenshot and before i clicked Export.
    The "Match Source HI-Bitrate" gave me the best results (blue background re-added in After Effects):
    Kind regards,
    Sai Kelly

    Hi Ann,
    Thank you for your opinion, though i disagree.
    As i said above I did try exporting directly from Premiere as Mpeg2 in many versions when i was attempting to solve the issue by changing the Bit Rate. But to no avail. The above screen shots were attempts to export a 'highest quality option' for re-encoding with a software  designed specifically to compress. I don't like re-encoding as much as anyone else, but this was the only option left as Media Encoder didn't help and without beginning again and using Encore. The same would have had to happen with Encore anyway as there appears to be no Dynamic Link in Premiere Pro CC to Encore as there wasn't yet a version of Encore CC.....just checking there....After Effects and Premiere have new updates just released Media Encoder CC 7.1 which i will check out but still nothing from Encore.
    I don't think you can help me with this particular issue, Ann and i'd like to hear from some other voices. Unless you have any thoughts or suggestions that will help with the Lip-Sync issue.
    Thanks again,
    Sai
