https://github.com/DanielSWolf/rhubarb-lip-sync[Rhubarb Lip Sync] is a command-line tool that automatically creates 2D mouth animation from voice recordings. You can use it for animating speech in computer games, animated cartoons, or any similar project.
Rhubarb Lip Sync produces output files in various text formats (TSV/XML/JSON). If you're a programmer, this makes it easy for you to use the output in whatever way you like. If you're not a programmer, there is currently no direct way to import the result into your favorite animation tool. If this is what you need, feel free to https://github.com/DanielSWolf/rhubarb-lip-sync/issues[create an issue] telling me what tool you're using. I might add support for a few popular animation tools in the future.
Rhubarb Lip Sync produces output files in various text formats (TSV/XML/JSON). In addition, it comes with integrations for Adobe After Effects and Magix Vegas.

# Animation script for Adobe After Effects
The script in this directory generates After Effects compositions with mouth animation.
## How to install
### 1. Download and extract
Download the archive file containing Rhubarb Lip-Sync, then extract in a directory on your computer.
### 2. Make Rhubarb available to After Effects
On **Windows**, add the Rhubarb directory (the directory containing `rhubarb.exe`) to your `PATH` environment variable.
On **OS X**, create a symbolic link to the executable (`rhubarb`) in `/usr/local/bin/`. You can do that by executing `ln -s /rhubarb-directory/rhubarb /usr/local/bin/` (make sure to replace `rhubarb-directory` with the actual directory).
### 3. Install After Effects script
Copy (or symlink) the script file `Rhubarb Lip Sync.jsx` into your After Effects scripts directory.
On **Windows**, that directory is usually `C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects <version>\Support Files\Scripts`.
On **OS X**, that directory is usually `Applications/Adobe After Effects <version>/Scripts`.
### 4. (Re-)start After Effects
## How to use
In After Effects, select *File > Scripts > Rhubarb Lip Sync.jsx*. That will open a dialog window where you can specify the WAVE file with the dialog recording and a number of other options. To get information about any input field, just hover above it with your mouse and you'll see a tooltip.
