What It Does

The Generate Data button analyzes your audio and creates a special layer called Syncface Data.
This layer drives your character’s lip movements, automatically syncing them to the sound of your voice or dialogue.

Key Benefits

• Automatically analyzes your audio to create lip-sync data

• Saves hours of manual keyframing

• Generates natural, expressive mouth movements

• Works with any voice recording or spoken dialogue

How To Use It

1. Make sure your composition contains at least one audio layer

2. After importing your .ai file, click the Generate Data button

3. A new layer called Syncface Data will be added to your composition

4. Play your comp to check if your character is reacting to the audio

Pro Tip: If your character isn’t reacting after generating data, use the Link Data button to manually connect the animation.

Understanding the Data Layer

The Syncface Data layer includes three slider controllers that help fine-tune the lip sync:

• Low RMS
  Controls how soft or quiet audio affects lip movement.
  Lower values make the character more responsive to faint sounds. Higher values filter out soft noise.

• High RMS
  Controls how loud audio affects lip movement.
  Lower values exaggerate mouth movement. Higher values make movements more subtle and realistic.

• Viseme Count
  Defines how many lip shapes are used during animation.
  Usually best left at the default setting, but you can reduce or increase it if needed.

These controls give you precise, real-time influence over how expressive or reserved the animation feels.

Fine-Tuning Your Animation

For whispered dialogue: Lower your Low RMS value

For shouted dialogue: Raise your High RMS value

For more subtle lip movements: Raise both Low and High RMS

For exaggerated animation: Lower both Low and High RMS
