## 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
