JLipSync

JLipSync is a Java-based application developed for helping you perform lip-syncing tasks and generate timesheets for traditional or 3D animation projects.

The program is separated into two panels: the mouth animations that imitate certain letters and a long timesheet with each second of the time code being counted. To play a string of animated mouths, the user must introduce a letter corresponding to its time code. The result is a cursive and flowing animation.

You can start playing the letters you introduced with their corresponding mouth animations. To save the current string, the user must export the short animation in Magpie, Moho or 3D Game Studio supported file formats. This will make it extremely easy for other animators to quickly grab your files and continue their job with other separate body limbs or objects.

Animators can load projects exported in WAV file formats and native JlipSync. Users can choose from what timeline selection the animation should start and even zoom in or out of the project.

In case you need to change the TV format, you can modify the settings from the default TV (24 fps) to PAL (25 fps) or NTSC (30 fps). These will allow animators to easily work on multiple formats without worrying about changing the framerate and signal standard using third-party apps.

JlipSync is a great tool for creators who need a fast-paced work platform with the help of which difficult animation segments like mouth drawing and timecode syncing can be easily completed. In fact, using this program doesn't even require some drawing know-how. Just input the letters your character needs to say specified in each time code, and the application will draw them for you.

Overall, this is a great utility that allows newcomers and experimented artists alike to enjoy working in a fast and hassle-free environment in order to finish their projects while being pressed for time.
