Awesome tips!
So when I work with audio in moviestorm, I follow a pretty lengthy process. Because I am usually dealing with music vocal lines and MS doesn't always realize that a "lyrical" performance is not a single word being held out for a long long time, I usually will create a separate audio track exclusively for MS lip sync.
This track will be clean audio with clear breaks between syllables. This allows the lip sync to work better within MS. You can do this in your audio editor (ex. Logic, Audacity, Garageband, Protools, Cubase).
To do this:
1) Record audio - vocals only, ZERO effects except for some minor compression and/or EQ
2) Use a Noise Gate to get rid of unnecessary noise (hum removal might be necessary)
3) Manually "chop" the audio, eliminating long tails to words like "love" so they don't run into the next syllable (Don't mess with the timing, just select the extra tail and choose "insert silence"). Another option is to use the MUTE function, but I hate messing with that, I'd rather go in and take care of it myself. Get rid of mistakes, saliva, breathing...anything that MS will confuse for a syllable.
4) Take long takes and break them into smaller, more manageable segments. (I've worked with lip sync up to 3 min. long with no probs, but MS sometimes works better with shorter scenes).
5) Import the audio and type in the lyrics/words.
6) Play with the lip sync to see how much you really want your puppet to talk/sing.
7) Record from multiple angles and with a few different settings for the lip sync.
8) Record some takes over the shoulder, the eyes, mouth only, close-up of face w/o mouth, etc. as pick up shots. Sometimes the lip sync is nearly perfect except for one word, and that extra shot of the eyes at the right moment will cover a world of error.
Hope that helps!
Best!
