I was just looking at my options, and luckily, I only need it for less than half of my upcoming video!

You know, I see so many mouth movement threads like this, why don't we just make one that has a bunch of links to tutorials, how-tos, the various programs and ways of doing it, and then make that thread a sticky? It would reduce the amount of repeat threads that just ask the same thing over and over.]]></content>

You would still need to map the face onto a cylinder to match the shape of the minifigure's head.]]></content>

I don't have After Effects, nor the money to get it.
(Anyone want to donate money to a poor brickfilmer? :P )

Although that method seemed a little...off. It wouldn't be in sync with the words, and just didn't look right.
The mouth would move at the same rate (open/close) and wouldn't change shape for the differant sounds.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[i](Not sure if it should be here or in software and hardware, but correct me if I've placed it in the wrong area.)[/i]

I am looking for a good program for doing mouth animations/lip sync.
My computer won't run Glueface, so I'm looking for something else.
Doesn't Smeagol use VirtualDub for that? If so, is there a tutorial?
If not, what other options do I have? (Cheap options are prefered. ;))

I may be getting [url=http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Vegas-Studio-Platinum-Production/dp/B0051M6IPI] This[/url] soon, will it do the trick? (If so, can you point me to a tutorial?) Thanks!

EDIT: Fixed spelling error in title.]]></content>
