Hey everyone, going to add this comment for frequently asked questions. I will continue to add to this as needed.

Q: I don't see the auto lip sync button.
A: You will a recent edition of Adobe Animate. This feature was added to the 2020 version of the program.

Q: I can't hear the audio on the main timeline.
A: You will often need to place the audio both in the imbedded timeline AND the main timeline in order to hear it while animating between the different timelines.

Q: Can this work with different sets of mouths?
A: Yes, one way you can achieve this would be to have each mouth set on it's own layer all being synced to the same audio layer. Once they all have interpreted to the audio you could simply delete the keyframes of the set you don't want visible during that part of the VO.

Q: Can I have multiple characters in the scene with lip sync?
A: Yes, if your characters are all inside their own symbols you can place the separated audio track inside those for each character. I would recommend using an audio program like Adobe Audition to mix down each characters separate audio, then a master mix of all the characters. The separate audio for each character would be placed inside that characters symbol, and the master mix audio would be placed on the main timeline, so you can preview while you're animating.

Come back please... You are a Great Teacher and it's not easy to find a Great Teacher. And thank you very much for being such a wonderful teacher who truly helped us to understanding things easily!

Shut the front door, this is such a time saver!
I haven't animated since flash was a thing, I'm just now learning about adobe animate and WOW the tools we have these days are incredible! This leaves so much more time for creative exploration, so cool.

I've always just done it manually. It was so time consuming but I can definatly use this to speed things up a bit. Thank you so much

This tutorial is great. You seem like a guy who should have 1 million subscribers. Its hard to see someone this professional at this amount of subscribers.

[eshnd-]

subscribed because i was procrastinating my animation project even after I finished all the lip syncs just because of this

[BrettWarniers]

Wish I could like this video 7 times for the 7 times I've followed this tutorial and it's helped me do exactly what I hope to do! Big ups!

[KaliCoriaCMWSOT]

Thank you so much! I was about to legit cry because a vision I had for a lyric video required lips in specific anime style to lip sync and I had no idea how to tackle it. With this video I was able to get it all done! Appreciate you!

[sotepniques]

great lesson but i have had issues for a long time following this but have fixed them by myself. you have to nest the lipsynce into the head symbol and line it up with the mouth position instead of creating the lipsynce on a new layer seperate from the head. this took me some time to figure out but got it now

Great video Chad, not sure that I’ll ever use this info since I don’t really animate stuff but it was still very informative. Also it was really cool to see cartoon Chad in all his glory. I’m glad you are uploading videos to the main channel again. Keep up the phenomenal work.

[PrinceVince]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! I used to draw the lip sync manually every single frame and it would take a long time😅, but this is a real time-saver and looks just as good.

I am a super beginner just started 2 days ago and these tutorials are great if you have at least a moderate level of understanding ~ I can not figure out how to just properly import the Lip Sync file into Adobe Animate. I get it I have worked with Illustrator for 30 years and I do the same thing when trying to explain AI to people. Anyway, I will bookmark it and see if I can find another tutorial that starts at the absolute beginning.

I've used Adobe Animate CC while studing for Bachelor of Science (BSC) in Animation&VFX course in a university in Bangalore for 3 years. I found the lip-sync of seagull too in this same software. If you couldn't have shared every Animate Tutorial with us, then we might have forgotten it.

Nice tutorial! 👍 Yes, regular lip-syncing is very tedious, especially when you have long animations or multiple characters as I do in many of my animations. I've been using Flash since 2006. Adobe has come a long way. Question. What if there are multiple characters in a scene? How does this automated lip-sync method work?

[kidzvidz]

The best video for Lips Synk, Thank you

[nguyenvinh]

You deserved a million subs for this !

[sandradahir]

Thank You so much for this tutorial. this has really helped this struggling sessions student.☺

I can only hear audio if I play from the beginning. Is there a setting so I can play from the middle?
