SpectraLipz Wav Player for Animation Lipsync

Problems / difficulties doing lipsync?
Want to be able to do lipsync in half the time? (or less)?

Lipsync is an important part of animation, whether it's 2D, 3D, stop motion or Flash. However, most people tend to shy away from it because it's been a traditionally tedious process.

The Spectralipz software is a utility that makes the lipsync generation process easier and a lot less painful to do.

Is it an automated system?

No, it is not a system that automatically generates keyframes from audio. No, it is not a motion capture system. Those systems are usually expensive, don't actually save any time because of the extended set-up procedures, and it takes more time to do the corrections and fine tuning. And for 3D animation, the data generated is hell to edit.

What is it?

Spectralipz is a WAV player designed to assist the manual generation of keyframes. It helps improve an existing process. It does not change the basic way things are done. You still listen to the audio and set the mouth shapes manually, but the interface is designed in such a way that your work becomes easier, primarily because of the audio speed control and spectrogram display which gives you a new way of seeing a "picture" of the audio!

Would it really make lipsync easier or faster?

DEFINITELY! In our initial studies, we found that the fastest people who could do lipsync were the ones doing traditional 2D animation. Their most experienced people could In general they be able to do a minute of lipsync in 4 hours. Other companies gave their range as between 1 to 2 working days depending on the experience of the animator. We let them use our software and they found they could do it in 1 to 2 hours! Imagine that!

One more thing to think about is that we also trained new, inexperienced animators to use the software and the result was the same. Even they could do one minute of lipsync in about 1 to 2 hours!

This means that you could actually save time and money on lipsync because your experienced animators don't have to spend too much time on it, or you could actually create good quality lipsync using junior staff! This opens up a wide range of possibilities.

TESTIMONIALS:

"It's just incredible. We're an established 2D animation shop and we have animators with decades of experience. We never thought that a software so simple could cut down our slugging time by more than half."
Terry S., Manager of a 2D animation shop

"We're doing video games and lip sync was one of our problems. At first I didn't want to look at the Spectralipz software because we were searching for an automated system. However, upon further study I found it better because setting up and editing data from the automated systems actually made the process longer, plus our animators could easily edit the output data."
Arnold M., Technical Supervisor of a game development company

"Great! We used to avoid speaking characters in our commercials because it took a lot of time to do the lipsync. Now we got a 10 user license pack for our 3D animators and it's now financially feasible to add nice talking characters to the commercials that we make. "
Jang K., Account Manager, 3D/Post Production House

"We weren't even considering it because we're planning to make our own full length movie and we needed total animator control over mouth movements and we're using our own custom mouth set-up. However, it saves a lot of time our pre-visualization stages and they helped setup MEL scripts to help import the data to our custom setup. We will be using it for our direct to video productions though."
N. C., Technical Director, 3D Animation House

"Nice software, and really affordable too! Helps me a lot in my stop motion hobby."
D. - Stop Motion Animation Hobbyist
