1) prepare audio: if you have any voice tracks for your character delete them. Re add then import them and then click ok. once thats done close it.
2) next prepare dialoge? not sure i spelled that right but moving on, make sure your character is chosen and make sure he is set to talk. once this is done go ahead and click direct from the same box,
3) make sure you can see you character you are doing the voice for: go ahead and hit record depending on which version of muvizu you are using play-playplus or 3d then this should work he should be talking. if not then your character may have a problem with his face features go under face and redo his beard and lips. If this doesn't work then redo you character all together and it should fix the problem.

It's a process of elimination. Do one step at a time and see what works and what doesn't most of the time it's not the program it's what we tell the program to do, I'll put up a video here in just a few hours on it and hope it helps everyone if anyone wants any other help videos send me a list and I'll do them.]]> Mon, 30 Mar 2015 15:12:44 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4836-mouths-not-moving-on-lip-sync-and-file-errors.aspx Message from drewi luckily i kept my old version alive by uploading the new version to a different directory, so finding the previous muvizu a more stable environment atm.]]> Sun, 15 Mar 2015 01:13:13 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4836-mouths-not-moving-on-lip-sync-and-file-errors.aspx Message from InsaneHamster Sat, 14 Mar 2015 18:28:04 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4836-mouths-not-moving-on-lip-sync-and-file-errors.aspx Message from imyourda Fri, 13 Mar 2015 17:41:59 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4836-mouths-not-moving-on-lip-sync-and-file-errors.aspx Message from imyourda When I opened the set file again after I sent it to you it worked fine. Maybe the suggestion of restarting it is the solution.]]> Fri, 13 Mar 2015 16:10:58 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4836-mouths-not-moving-on-lip-sync-and-file-errors.aspx Message from Jamie
Here's what I did:

1. Open an old set file (the one imyourda reported problems on)
2. Add a new character
3. Prepare -> Dialogue and assign the track to the new character

then, trying to follow Ziggys point I:

4. Direct -> Dialogue and press play (lip sync worked)

Or

4. Close Prepare Dialogue
5. Direct -> Dialogue and press play (lip sync worked)

I then repeated steps 4 and 5 above using record instead of play, and again the lip sync worked for me.

What am I missing?]]> Fri, 13 Mar 2015 15:59:28 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4836-mouths-not-moving-on-lip-sync-and-file-errors.aspx Message from shiningmonk ziggy72 wrote:
Got the mouth thing - assigned an existing (working) dialogue track to a character, and she didn't do anything. Messed around, and found that as long as you hit Switch To Direct, they will behave as usual - doing it the old way, when you could just assign the track in Prepare mode and that was all, no longer works. Seems like it's not generating the actual Talk/Shush track on the timeline unless you go into Direct mode, for some reason.


Also, exiting Muvizu and restarting seems to work.]]> Fri, 13 Mar 2015 09:00:22 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4836-mouths-not-moving-on-lip-sync-and-file-errors.aspx Message from ziggy72 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 20:35:16 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4836-mouths-not-moving-on-lip-sync-and-file-errors.aspx Message from ukBerty Mon, 09 Mar 2015 16:46:57 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4836-mouths-not-moving-on-lip-sync-and-file-errors.aspx Message from Jamie

Did you learn anything more about it ukBerty?]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:57:41 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4836-mouths-not-moving-on-lip-sync-and-file-errors.aspx Message from imyourda Thu, 05 Mar 2015 18:26:34 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4836-mouths-not-moving-on-lip-sync-and-file-errors.aspx Message from ukBerty imyourda wrote:

I have noticed this as well - but there's another factor that I'm trying to track down.

I you create a new .set file with two characters and one audio track and animate the dialogue between them then it works fine.

However if you have an old .set file and import a new character then they will not sync to the existing audio track. If you import the same audio track again and set the new character to sync with that then it's fine. There is another factor as it sometimes works so I'll keep playing...]]> Thu, 05 Mar 2015 17:56:11 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4836-mouths-not-moving-on-lip-sync-and-file-errors.aspx Message from imyourda
I've been having a couple of issues, since I updated to the latest version of Play +,

First, when I try to sync dialogue, it will work for the first character, but the 2nd character in the scene's mouth doesn't move at all. I've never had this issue before, and have tried restarting the scene multiple times. (Note- I import my dialogue for all of the characters as one track, which I edit in another program)

The second issue I have is this error, whenever I create a favorite character or object with any textures - "An Object's property has been unexpectedly changed, and this file will not display correctly. "

Any help on these issues is much appreciated-
Thanks!]]> Thu, 05 Mar 2015 14:57:32 GMT
