Audio Syncing

[SpikeyTaco 10]

I'm making an animation with a facial rig so I can set the character to lip sync to a pre-recorded voice. But with the current version of the software, audio importing is impossible. I do know you have to add the audio after in video editing software but that means I can't play the audio at the same time while animating. I can't get the voice and the facial rig to line up properly.

 

What I'm asking is:

How can I time voice audio to the video while animating?

 

Obviously you can't get it to be exact but what techniques do you use while animating video to audio?

 

 

Thanks in advance,

-Mike

This should help.

I've had some experience with this. It's just trial and error, that's all I can say, unfortunately.

This should help.

I've looked at that before, It's helped amazingly with frame rate but not with audio line up. I want to line up facial movement with the audio, I try to play the audio while watching it but it makes it hard for the facial rigs to be accurate.

In that case, I'll have to agree with Frossa, Lip sync is with trial and error :\

Okay :/

Thanks anyway.
