    I'm doing the walk of shame back to this video because I figured time remapping wouldn't give me any glitches for my project. Now it did and I'm going what I should have done in the first place

    help : when I move the head with puppet tools, than the mouth characters don't follow the head movements. (Mouth is parenting with the Head). How to solve that?

    That's all great but what does it have to do with dinosaurs in space?

    Nice. And if you need one shape to be on two layers you can just assign the same layernum to them both.

    I don't do a lot of character animation these days, but I love this tip so much I'm inclined to dive back in and try it!

    Or... If you aren't advanced or patient enough for all this coding, use Time-remapping (or even make a slider, or use awesome plug-in SF Caddy) and then (most importantly) select the comp with your mouths in it, press the STAR option (next to the "Shy" button in your column, it's actually called "collapse transformations"), and then all of the lip-sync won't be glitchy. I say this after animating 15 episodes of a show with glitchy lipsync and finally stumbling on this solution. Collapse transformations makes top priority of rendering the movement from one key to another, getting rid of dropped frames or sticking frames. Seriously. [No disrespect to this super informative video, I just want to put this really necessary step out there for lipsync no matter which option you choose]

    If you use this as the first line of the expression, you don't have to manually change the layer number each time:

    Hola, si a éste tutorial llegó un hispanohablante y le marca error en la expresión, es porque tienes el After en español. Así las cosas, el código quedaría

  • @socola5424

    I bumped into this exact problem when animating my thesis film, and came up with a simular fix. Good you made a tutorial for futur animators!

    Thanks Ross... This is good to know. Almost the same as cutting with Time Remapping but this gives one the option of fine tuning by animating the mouths.
