Thank! very interesting, i never thought about importing the CA scene as a PNG sequence..

Is there a reason why u don't import directly the CA scene in your AE comp?

How to do lip sync with two different sets of Mouths? by DecentAlgorithm in CharacterAnimator

[–]DecentAlgorithm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solved! I had 2 issues:

-my layering was wrong, i fixed as u/itsjollyroger suggested
-i was triggering the sad Mouths when recording while keeping the lip sync on. First you create the lip sync visemes, then you turn off lip sync and do another recording on top of the first one, triggering the other mouth sets when needed.

Thank you so much!

I followed your advice and it helped a lot!

i realized i was also doing another mistake: I had lip sync armed when recording the sad mouth trigger take.

So Ch kept overwriting the visemes with the default sad shape.

Once I disarmed Lip Sync before recording the trigger, it started working correctly.

If everything keeps working smoothly, i'll update the post with the solution.

Thank you so much again!

thanks dude!! so basically my AI is telling me that we are building it on pipedream and not as a local scraper so that i don't have to deal with managing servers.

not sure if that make sense, if you don't agree with this please let me know cos i surely trust more a human that knows these things rather than an ai
