Hello,
I'm just learning animation and lip sync techniques. I have an old video which has a through-composed animated person on it who is "yakking" away but not sync'ed with the song. I merely want to paste a closed mouth over the character's mouth at the end of musical phrases.
I have all the layers in a psd and have imported it successfully and spread out the frames and I have the wav file underneath so I can see where the phrases end. I thought it would be easy to take a closed mouth from photoshop and put it on a separate track above the character. This will happen about ten times. But I can't seem to get the closed mouth to paste more than once on a track. Maybe there's another way to do this? I considered making a still shot of the closed mouth the length of the whole composition and then razor cutting it out where the mouth is NOT closed - but there is no razor.
How can this be accomplished?
Thanks
jane
