In version 1.5 of LipSync Pro, AutoSync was expanded into a flexible, modular system, that can be used to automate any part of the clip creation process. The most common use, however, is still in detecting phonemes in an audio clip to generate phoneme markers, and there are two methods included to do that:
The easiest way of using AutoSync is simply using the included presets from the AutoSync Menu. With the MFA module installed, a preset
called "Default" will be added to your project. To use it, open the Clip Editor from the Window > Rogo Digital > LipSync Pro menu,
and select an AudioClip to use. If you have a transcript pre-made for your dialogue (e.g. from an existing script), you can place it in a .txt
file in the same folder and with the same name as your audio clip, and the Clip Editor will load it it in automatically.
If not, you will need to type one out. In the Clip Editor's top menu, go to Edit > Clip Settings, type your transcript in the text
box, and click the "Save" button.
Now, go to the AutoSync menu in the top menu, and click on AutoSync > Presets > Default. A progress bar will appear, and after a few seconds phoneme markers should appear along the timeline.
Modules are the core components of AutoSync3. Each module is self-contained system that does some work on an input LipSyncData clip,
either adding, removing or modifying data, then gives a clip back with the new changes in.
The AutoSync system can queue up a number of modules in sequence, each one working on the results of the previous one.
Presets are lists of modules and settings for each, that can be run to complete a certain task. For example, a preset is included that replicates the "High Quality" option from older versions of LipSync Pro, by running the PocketSphinx module with specific settings, then the "Marker Cleanup" module on the phonemes generated by PocketSphinx.
The AutoSync Window serves two purposes: providing advanced control over the AutoSync process (along with allowing the creation of presets), and enabling the batch processing feature, where a list of AudioClips can be provided and have AutoSync run on them one after another, automatically creating and saving a LipSyncData (or .xml) file for each.
