Posts: 1 		Hello,

My lip syncing features start off working for my 2 characters but at some point the characters stop mouthing the words or said differently its like the sync feature was turned off although at some point it starts working again. I'm thinking it may have something to do with capacity as I add some music and after this happened the problem occurred but I really have not idea. Thanks so much in advance.

I've got a question in this area.

I want to use Muvizu to do a video of one of my band's songs. I am sure this is a common thing and I am just thick.

Anyway, I had the following plan
  • record a spoken audio track of the vocals in time to the song
  • lipsync the singer character to this audio
  • import the full song (and line up the vocals)
  • "mute" the lipsync'd audio - I don't want to hear my spoken track

I can't see how to achieve the last step.

Obviously I need the spoken audio still "in" the video, or the character stops "speaking", but I am not sure if this is possible.


Any help very welcome.

I may post this as a new question otherwise.

Many thanks,
Chris

Ah. So the way to go with this is to do all the video in Muvizu (taking care with timings/cues lining up) and produce a "finished" video which has the spoken track on it.

Then take that into a video editor, mute the sound for that track and import the song audio at that point.

I get it.

Thanks for that. I'll give it a try. (Now I'll go and search the forum history for video editor recommendations)
