Hi

thanks for any help

synchronizing is just a matter of adding the audio to the timeline and setting its sync to “stream” in the properties bar. From there, you’re more reliant of traditional syncing techniques with character/mouth animation. What is it, 8 basic mouth expressions? You can usually get away with 4 (and many anime get away with 2 :D) You then just need to show the right mouth images for their respective places in the audio. Keep mouth images in a graphic symbol and set that symbol to singleFrame starting at frame #[mouth image for current audio in frame] etc etc etc.

And welcome to the forums! 🙂
