=== Moho and OpenToonz
Rhubarb Lip Sync can create .dat switch data files, which are understood by Moho and OpenToonz. You can set the frame rate using the `--datFrameRate` option; to control the shape names, use the `--datUsePrestonBlair` flag. For more details, see <<options>>.

_Default value: 24_
| `--datUsePrestonBlair`
| Only valid when using the `dat` export format. Uses Preston Blair mouth shapes names instead of the default alphabetical ones. This applies the following mapping:
!===
! Alphabetic name ! Preston Blair name
! A ! MBP
! B ! etc
! C ! E
! D ! AI
! E ! O
! F ! U
! G ! FV
! H ! L
! X ! rest
!===
CAUTION: This mapping is only applied when exporting, _after_ the recording has been animated. To control which mouth shapes to use, use the <<extendedShapes,`extendedShapes`>> option _with the alphabetic names_.
TIP: For optimal results, make sure your mouth drawings follow the guidelines in the <<mouth-shapes>> section. This is easier if you stick to the alphabetic names instead of the Preston Blair names. The only situation where you _need_ to use the Preston Blair names is when you're using OpenToonz, because OpenToonz only supports the Preston Blair names.
