[@SteveWarner]

This is a good overview but it's probably worth noting that most phonemes aren't really necessary The basis of most lip sync is mouth open & mouth closed. Look at any puppet animation (e.g. The Muppets). We totally buy into the Muppets talking and all they have is mouth open and mouth closed. The problem with phonemes is that we tend to over analyze the mouth shape when doing lip sync animation. And that results in an over articulated and unnatural looking animation. Instead, start with mouth open and mouth closed. Then only add in the main shapes like E, O and M on top of the mouth open/closed animation. This is the basic technique we taught at the Digital Animation & Visual Effects School and it worked extremely well.

[@SouthernShotty]

That's a very good beginner friendly route as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@arthurribeiro1452]

To an extra touch of realism, make sure to animate the nose as well. When we talk, it follows our mouth movements.

[@SouthernShotty]

Good tip for the community ☺️

[@rustyexe9378]

And make sure that upper teeth are not moving at all, when we talk we move jaws, we can't move upper half of face like jaw, it's impossible, so if mouth opens it openes down... just look at mirror, English is not my main language so it's hard to explain. P

[@ninjawhippetproductions7411]

@@rustyexe9378 An additional tip on top of that one (learnt this from Corridor Digital) is that there is no muscle to move the upper lip up and down. It can move, but only due to being pulled by the muscles around the sides of the lips :)

[@SouthernShotty]

Love seeing the community jumping in to help out in the comments 😁

Finally face movements become very easy as compare to older versions of blender Thx #blender team

[@marutinandan182]

I am just starting to explore blender, and I am wondering if there can be a feature like Adobe character animator where you create the mouth shapes like this but it will process the audio looking for each sound and generate the proper keyframes which you can edit later

[@DonaldDrennan]

Is it possible to display the audio waveform and the graph editor in sync with each other? Also, where is the button to turn on audio scrubbing? and what about tips on getting smooth playback in the viewport? Thanks!

[@katie8544]

Absolutely love it! Perfect and Amazing. Just like the man in the video❤️😘❤️

[@zackOOO-nz9rh]

i know this is an old video, but theres a big problem with mine whenever i try to add sounds basically, instead of it just continuing the sound from where the marker is, it just plays the start of the audio and goes from there, ignoring where it actually is on the timeline

[@HamzaARTi]

Love ur video but thought u gonna animate that monster on the thumb nail tho.. not a crappy model (sorry for the creator) Yet i really wanna see a long detailed video of u animating that monster talking Keep it up

[@corrozu]

how do you automate the syncing?

[@MumuMundo]

I finally managed to make a simple grease pencil mouth rig (tutorial on my channel) it might even work on a 3D mouth and can be auto lip-synced using the Rhubarb addon.

[@convolution223]

"we need to find some crappy clip" "mY nAmE's nAtHaN." "This'll do."

[@SouthernShotty]

😂😂😂

[@TheArizus]

U have to remeber each mouth shape flows into the next one i would recommend animating a rigged character with bones for each muscle and also remeber that the mouth pulls in the cheak and nose it doesn't stretch the skin. Its pretty hard to call this lip sync

[@felipealbuquerque6309]

Alright so it's like a "Learn in 5 minutes what to do" rather than "Make in 5 min" :D

[@SouthernShotty]

Lol yes

[@MrMoon-hy6pn]

This is what I don't like about these types of videos, the titles aren't wrong per se but it is misleading

[@SouthernShotty]

Thank you! Come around more often.

[@NPDStudio]

Heya! Thanks for the video! I have 2 questions: 1. When this process is complete, can i put in any audio file, and it will lip sync automatically? Or do i still have to animate or select each mouth movement for each word spoken? 2. After this process is complete, can i animate my character walking and it will continue the lip sync dialogue unaffected while he walks?

[@JakeBowenTV]

Adding it to the queue.

[@brockgallagher5956]

Love your tutorials. Is there any chance you could cover how to setup a mouth rig in a character with swappable mouth shapes? Something more like the red monster in the thumbnail of this video. I'd love to design a bunch of mouths and pop them on and off rather than a more traditional blend shape approach. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

[@SouthernShotty]

Thanks for watching!

[@RossOzarka]

You can do this with drivers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJeWe3WriLGFgbc

[@ScorgeRudess]

2:19 - So important step and only 26 frames to see it in a 60fps footage, less than half a second to keep up with the scrubbing feature... xD, didnt see it at first glance, 10 minutes figuring out where this was xD. Other than that, amazing job! Keep up the good work! !

[@Ssssshhhh]

Wow...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@alocrisis]

Is there a way to make a driver slider ….where 1 phonemes is value is 1 and the rest is 0 …. The animation would b step like stop motion

[@InterPixelYoutube]

3:17 (Final Result)

[@tiktokdailyreview7015]

Let me try automating using maybe a bone for both the tongue and chin, then using a python script to animate. Long stretch but import PocketSphinx, speech recognition package, to convert speech to text to feed the python script. Just thinking out loud

[@SouthernShotty]

That would be great

[@Tymon0000]

You guys u know an automated solution to generate lip sync animations?

[@SouthernShotty]

For something super simple watch my audio animation tutorial

[@rahulrajsarma4580]

[@FrankySus]

I can't get this to work. The audio and frames are off. 4 secs of audio but .1 sec of animation

I use 12 viseme + 38 facial expressions all controlled by a universal floating control panel added to all my Rigify characters in Blender. A script I wrote sets it all up instantly. All I want is to animate a character completely, created super easy and super fast. Subscribe to my channel and I'll show you and share my workflow so if you want you can do it too.

[@sonicfan9144]

The Value thing is not working for me for all of the shape keys. It's probably because I didn't initially have a Base.

[@ILikeAmazingThings]

The base shapekey is automatically added when you add the first shapekey. And for all the other shapekeys, always put the value to 1 after creating them otherwise you can't edit anything. I know this comment is 2 years old, but maybe some people read through.

Chill guys , he showed you how to lip sync, now go make yours look how you want it to.

[@HarryMcKenzieTV]

hmmm that's very manual intensive especially if you have several paragraphs.

Lets be honest, that process doesnt take 5 minutes, it’d take hours even days for noob like me. Please dont get mixed up between your video duration and time needed in real process

Your videos are usually great... I'm not sure what happened with this one. Maybe it's just that I was confused by the title and was expecting some more content about a "lip sync rig" and less about shapekeys and manually animating them to match audio.

i like how you didn't really explain how exactly you're shaping the mouths like you just went on a montage of you shaping for 1 min straight and idk how to mirror your actions lol its almost like we're supposed to already know how to do it. So from 1:06 to 2:06 I have no idea what you're doing

Thank you for this tip/tutorial, however, the title is misleading. The video is less than five minutes, with some parts sped up. The actual time put into doing this takes longer than that. I expected better from you.

this doesn't really count as "in 5 minutes" considering if someone was to actually do it it would take 5 minutes to downlead all the files lbs

well sorry, but those lips don't move, they snap into place with every frame, it looks quite... bad, concept is ok, but would require 100000 hours to do for sound longer than that

[@SouthernShotty]

Yeah, this is meant to be an ultra basic rig for beginners. To do a full lip sync rig requires 10 bones and a lot of weight painting

[@idreamvr3482]

This is not 5 minutes! 🤥

[@lauigl]

Hi, I like your content, but this video is not good. This process takes much more than five minutes, and the end result you got is pretty bad. It does not show the potential of the technique or clarify many details about the most critical parts of the process.

[@rustyexe9378]

It wasn't bad, he gave us basic idea how to make it. And you was expecting to make all lip-syncing and animating all in 5 minutes? It was obvious that he would teach you in 5 min. not to done it in 5 mins. But the problem is that he doesn't know anatomy of face, and how lips and teeth are moving when we talk.
