# 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.
