Toon Boom Animate - Manual Lip Sync Tutorial

Jon shows you how to quickly create lip sync manually in Toon Boom Animate rather than using the automatic feature.

The mouth will only change when you tell it to by changing it in the library window. If you want a different mouth at any point just select the one required or draw a new one in a new frame.

Every time you draw something it's added to the library automatically. Just draw the mouth shapes in different frames on one layer and they will be added to the library. Hope that helps.

Hello. Double click on the sound file in the timeline. Select the sound in the 'sound element' box and then click on the 'scrubbing' tick box in the bottom left of the window. 'Apply' then close window. Hopefully that should work. All the best.

No not in a new animation. You would need to import them. The best way would be to draw them in one project and them drag that layer to the global library to create a template. You can then find the template in the library window of any new project and drag it to your timeline.

Hi Michael. I don't quite understand what you mean. Can you explain further?

Ok, well I don't want the mouth to be still then open without it moving to that point, 5:21 I don't want my mouth to do that. Is there any way to stop it?

How do you make it so that when you move the bar across the frame it plays the sound like you where doing?

How do you make that frames go from 1 to another and not skip each movement? PLEASE REPLY!
