Three Levels of Setting Strength for Visemes

After having produced a voice script and visemes for the character, you can enhance the lip-sync viseme strength using one of three methods: Project, Clip and Individual Viseme.

Project Level

To increase the viseme strength of specific character for the entire project, follow the steps below:

  1. Select the character that has been given a voice script with visemes.
  2. Open the Modify panel and switch to the Animation tab, in the Facial Animation Settings group, adjust the Viseme Strength slider.
  3. The viseme strength of the character can be changed at once for the entirety of the project.

Clip Level (Demo Video)

If you want to adjust the specific visemes' strength within a clip, then follow the steps below:

  1. Select the character that has been given more than one voice script with visemes.
  2. Open the timeline (Shortcut: F3) and right-click on one of the voice clips (on the Viseme track) in which you want to change the strength of a specific viseme, choose the Talking Style Editor from the right-click menu.

  3. The Talking Style Editor panel will show.
  4. You can use the Preset Name drop-down list to quickly set the style for lip-sync visemes.
  5. Or you can manually drag on the sliders for setting the strength of the visemes in the clip.

    Phoneme: Ah

    Ah = 100

    Ah = 150 (all the strength of the viseme, Ah, will be set to 150)

Individual Viseme Level

In order to set the strength for one specific viseme, you can still use the past method:

  1. Select the character that has been given more than one voice script with visemes.
  2. Open the timeline (Shortcut: F3) and show the Viseme track.
  3. Press down on the triangle next to the Viseme track. You will then see the Voice and Lips sub-tracks.
  4. In the Lips Track, you can view the auto-generated keys.
  5. To set the strength of an individual viseme, double-click on the viseme key to open the Lips Editor panel.
  6. Drag the Expressiveness slider in order to designate the strength of the selected viseme.

    Phoneme: F_V

    Expressiveness = 50

    Expressiveness = 100
