## From recording to lip-sync keys

AccuLIPS in iClone converts a spoken line into a sequence of mouth shapes. A prepared transcript can help align the written words to the recording. This provides a starting point for frame-by-frame edits. The built-in dictionary is English. Reallusion describes a separate preparation workflow for other languages. Try it with one sentence before animating the whole scene.

## A line with an unfamiliar name

For the training frame, write down an English phrase where the character is introduced and calls a fictional workshop. Give a little pause before the name. Compare the recording with the prepared text and view the movement of the mouth on this word. If the keys fall on neighboring syllables, adjust them manually. Then look at the side. Some too sharp movements of the jaw are better seen outside the frontal angle.

Also check the end of the sentence. The character must complete the articulation before the next movement, if there is a pause between them.

## Export for the next production stage

Before handoff, establish whether the next animator needs a video render or an editable project. Save the original audio with the animation keys. Check that the export stays in sync at the same frame rate. Reallusion documents facial capture separately from articulation, so check which add-ons your project needs. Use a short recording of your own to test a line. Check the first export through a brief pause after the line.
