Jaltoid Tutorials: Lip Syncing

[@Arjanator]

This is the best lip syncing tutorial on KZbin by far!!!

[@theodorous6803]

i liked domics' more

[@irenesacendoncillo3203]

"Wow, a lot of background noise, I apologize." Nah, it's fine. It's the sound of a flash animator working.

[@michael-gary-scott]

LOL!

[@moonie2687]

LOL HE FARTED XD best tutorial ever..

[@theawesomechannel5457]

the minute u i read this comment he said that

[@TheNewMasterQthe13th]

Finally! I've been looking all over for basic lip syncing! I've found like twelve tutorials telling me about making the multiple mouths. I can't believe I never thought to alter the mouths like that last step. Thank you Jaltoid!

[@TheGoldenDunsparce]

Great tutorial! It's crazy that in that amount of time, all you had was "Pedro" done. It's like early South Park, which was choppy mouth flaps, and Trey and Matt would spend almost an hour lip-syncing one sentence with about 5 different mouths.

[@CementCakeisboss101]

[@okayishtrash4661]

Him making out the noises made my flippin day

[@Wafflecupz]

Finally, someone demonstrates the basic lip synching in a simple way! I will be using this knowledge on my animations, thanks guys!

[@GabrielsGalaxy]

I have some experience with lip syncing, so I didn't think I could find any tutorials that could help me further, but to my surprise, I learned a lot here! Thank you! God bless :)

[@bazoing802]

Thank you so much, this is the best method i've seen so far.

[@strawhat1000]

Excellent tutorial! It never even crossed my mind to make all of the mouth shapes in one object instead of separate, brilliant!

[@jessejayjones]

This is great!!! Would love to see more tutorials from you! :)

[@srs777]

Thank you Jaltoid for such the great videos and the help that you give to people that are just starting out

[@ricardo.r]

Hey man, Keep up the hilarious work. Quality channels like this are what get millions of subscribers :)

[@WanderingArtistMaddie]

This is an amazing tutorial and you really helped me understand the concept much easier c: You should continue with your tutorials, such as beginner work to more advanced stuff. If you want to of course! :D

[@ZaJessiester]

Thank you for Uploading this, it is really helpful to people who want to aspire to be a great animator such as yourself. I would love to see more from you since you do such amazing animations that flow so well. Thanks again and keep up the brilliant work. ^_^

[@NiceMarkMC]

Yes!! I have been waiting for this, thanks so much! :)

[@koariko]

Gosh, it sure takes tons of time. Great tutorial!

[@Jaltoid]

You first import your audio, by doing File>Import. Or drag and drop it into flash. From there Place the audio on a keyframe.

[@Makocat]

you should do more of these! they are nice :)

[@gruntbot137]

I genuinely did not expect this to be a tutorial, I expected this to be a funneh vid.

[@0100-s8t]

2:23 The mouths are posessed.

[@fartchaser777]

I KNOW

[@TheWolfenBlaze]

I died when you demonstrated each mouth shape. XD

[@Bernicetiff]

I love how much effort goes into a cartoon. Just the lip syncing seems to take so much time.

[@electricindigo6268]

Dang. Now the "New Video" makes all kind of sense. I don't know why/ how they like to do all this, but I'm glad they do.

[@estefaniabect1250]

wooooooooow! I am a student and i learning animation and you help me more than my teachers to understand lips thank you

[@Deveri]

Loved how you explained what letter the mouths were.

[@solidsnake797]

Awesome tutorial! Really hoping you make more ^^

[@Jaltoid]

Are you referring to character movement and layering? We'll be doing a Tutorial on that next if that is what you are referring to.

[@nyanwarriorcat3504]

I'm really happy that I use adobe flash CS6 because it happens to be that all my favorite animators use them

[@warmaster118]

very insightful. hoping for other tutorials!

[@littlesteviebiggs9068]

Yes, exactly. Thanks again, I really do find this stuff to be very helpful.

[@VRArt1]

Is the tutorial about animation coming soon?

[@chompet123]

You could use the "Keyframe Caddy" bar. It's a Flash extension. Instead of manually typing the keyframe number, you just click on the thumbnail. Search it out, "Keyframe Caddy"

[@Nicknir]

so good guy! subscribed I'm animator too from Brazil!

[@nateslept]

"Thats really INTERESTING" ~police guy

[@Jaltoid]

Yeah, I can imaginw placing the audio in after would be pretty rough. You'd need some kind of way to preview the audio while you're animating.

[@Somelover350]

This is perfect! You made it all make sense now! Ahhhh Thank yoooou.

[@littlesteviebiggs9068]

Awesome, I really appreciate the tutorial. Based off of what you're showing there's a lot for me to learn. Finishing up a flash animation (not on this channel that I'm commenting with), and I did everything on separate layers and it's insanely unorganized. Any chance you can do a basic tutorial on grouping everything up within (I'm assuming) graphics?

[@Jaltoid]

We've figured it out :) That's what I thought, but I like to know for sure. I wouldn't want to mislead anyone on accident.

[@NinaScottt]

2:11 Listen to this with eyes closed.

[@echomagicd9181]

Lol

[@camiiisado]

2:24 A MILLION DEMONS SCREAM

[@KyeGTR]

Thank you cant wait to see more of these coming out :D

[@MyLittleMagneton]

The tutorial was awesome. However i'm not sure it was a good choice to have this as your first. Seeing how you had to explain setup etc. that should have been in a tutorial on it's own :0

[@goodleshoes]

I might have to learn this for cutscenes actually... thanks for having this.

[@jeanwolfwood3675]

hey dalton how come no more tutorials

[@Animatepivot101]

what he means is animating on twos, you animated on ones. After you timed out your mouth shapes, you went in on every single frame (ones) and did small shape distortions, or movements, to in-between ready for the next movement. What @Toyama Akimoto means is where you would have a movement happening every single frame, he means he would have a movement every two frames. Essentially halving your workload.

[@Kat-wp1yr]

wow I didn't realize how hard it was to make these episodes.

[@zencronimax7636]

This will be really helpful in the future for my friend

[@JJtoutcourt]

very interestong, really.

[@IllusiveSerb]

Man, animation looks like a LOT of hard work. But once it's finished it's pretty cool :)

[@mr.pilchard4548]

i love you now *-*

[@SillyKids100]

glad i watched this. now i can do better at creating flash animations!

[@tgh00ker]

I think you just have to set the sound from "event" to "stream" in the properties of the keyframe your sound is on. That should help. Also, Flash and MP3 don't like each other very much, so I'd suggest you to use wav files instead whenever you can :)

[@x1ic1x]

Thanks for the tutorial Egoraptor.

[@cinnamon853]

"The female lady" XXXXD (lol srry but great vid)

[@daddydevito6919]

You should do more of these!

[@LabelledManiacs]

Very nice tutorial, I use a similar method.

[@anniebot_45-73]

I LOVE THIS, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@M4mm4n]

That was a really good tutorial.

[@starcandy123]

Please can you do a turorial on the movements in the character (symbols) PLEASE PLEASE. I Must Know!!....when you get time that is.

[@Sgtpepper1019]

Well, it's a matter of preference. For example, CS3's default rate is 12, I generally animate anywhere between 15-20. I was just asking to see what Jaltoid was using, since many animators like anywhere between 20-32.

[@angel37821]

I would like to see more of these please

[@animadorgas]

Make more tutorials!

[@Jaltoid]

Tweening would be unnecessary. You usually only have so few frames inbetween. Unless you had like 10+ its just overdoing it. You need the manual control. It would just be trying to cut too many corners and it might turn out a little messier with unnecessary moment. I can imagine tweening all that would take even more time actually. Lip syncing is all about balancing your movement.

[@Jaltoid]

I'm not completely sure I understand what your describing. Do you have an example I could see? I think I know what you mean. But, erm. I'd prolly fully get ya if you had something to show me. Feel free to PM me what you're referring to. Sometimes visuals just help.

[@martinagrabenheimer5525]

Pleaseeee, more tutorials!!

[@SaikoMeem]

You guys should make more tutorials.

[@zattdott]

you should use keyframe kaddy. its better than having to number every single mouth frame

[@NullusTristis]

Please, do more tutorials!

[@StelfBox]

This is a good tutorial. I have a problem where I can't get my frame by frame animation to line up, even when I do use onion skin. Any tips for that?

[@chibimochi8921]

what program do you guys think they use?? I love their videos!

[@cptpooch]

Thank you jaltoid!!

[@bearshapedfriend]

Do you guys plan on doing a body movement tutorial!

[@toya.channel]

Like having to hold a single mouth (drawing) for 2 frames before the next mouth is used. Cause I noticed you do your lip-syncing in ones, which is fine and smooth- but I tend to find that over-exhausting after having to deal with many characters at once. So I did mine on twos, which produces a snappy-feel to it. But was just curious if you've tried that and if you did, what's your thought about it

[@chefbojardi]

Well, Flash in general starts out with 12 FPS for default settings. Professionally used FPS settings are generally around 24-30 actually. Take Pixar for example, they use 24 FPS with their Renderman ma-jiggy. Basically, 24 FPS is good. Yep.

[@Jaltoid]

Yeah im aware, But this works better for me personally.

[@hayleybonbiino]

2:05 I LOST IT hahahahahaha

[@frostfeather6584]

Ikr!!!

[@Artsii.Vtuber]

Can you do more tutorials please!? :D

[@AngelzWings]

Do you think you could do a slight animation tutorial?

[@Jaltoid]

Whats that?

[@Kouyou160]

Sorry if this is a silly question, but how do you hear the sounds over and over with you animation without testing the movie. Testing the movie messes up my audio.

[@anton300640]

It's not a very silly question, took me time to find this out. When you have your sound file in a key-frame, along the right in frame properties there should be a heading called sync. Instead of it being event (by default), set it to stream. Hope it helps. :)

[@TheBeaconBro]

Can you do a body movements tutorial Please if you can :)

[@jellymuchplays13]

Omg I love your drawings! I follow you on Instagram :D

[@xKawaiiBunnii]

what do you actually use to draw like program wise? and can you do a tutorial on how you draw hmmm for example emi or you? I wanna see how you guys draw your chakras c:

[@PinkSugaryBunny]

For some reason when I pause my video to try and catch the sound of what she is saying.. (on what I am working on) I cant get the sound to stop. It just keeps going until that MP3 stops. Any idea why?

[@GlueIsRequired]

Thank you so much for uploading this ;_;

[@jameschad245]

subed because of this ^^

[@Stradomyre]

Durnit. I gotta learn from scratch before watching this. Adobe Flash scratch. Not animating scratch. But darn it.

[@SadijeAkaru]

aww thank you for the tutorial ^_^

[@littlesteviebiggs9068]

I have a quick question in regards to audio within the graphic you have for the character. You have the precise snippet of her talking. If I did audio in a file where it is one audio file and I want an exact moment from that to sync up talking inside of the graphic (since it's outside of it, I can't here it when editing inside), is there a way to do that other then making a separate audio file? (I wonder if I can say audio file one more time...Audio file)

[@NanaMi67980]

Can you show what mouths you use for letters example you draw the mouth and next to them you write the letter they used for

[@DinisF97]

Dear Jaltoid, what programs do you use to animate your shows and records your voice/sound effects?I kinda wanna start a KZbin Channel myself and i would like to use some of the programs you might use

[@UnderGraySkies]

*Mind Blown*

[@BlueKazuki]

Which CS6 Product do you use? I see different types like Fireworks, Illustrator, and Production Premium. Also is there something cheaper for newbies that you know of?

[@rosswood0602]

When I import a sound into flash I can't change the sync option from event to stream PLEASE HELP!

[@Wreckintheterrible]

Im not sure if it was the creators of south park or not that said this but they said a good tip is to make the mouth move for every syllable that is pronounced.

[@Addiwowboy]

I see your techniqe, but did you know there was an extasion that is the exact same tecnique in a graphic just with pictures you click on, so you spare all the dragging and numbers? Keyframe Caddy is the extansions name, look it up :)

[@XL3gaming]

Please do more tutorials

[@impieman10]

Its a good video, thank you :)

[@VascoElbrecht]

thank you so much

[@Jaltoid]

Adobe Flash CS6

[@DemoniChaos666]
