Can I move my papagayo lip sync file on my timeline?

Hi. I’m a new user of Synfig Studio and learned how to make lip sync using Papagayo. But the problem is I can’t move my lip sync on the timeline where I want it to speak. Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Use “Free time” for your character or mouth shapes group. Set keyframes for when speech should start and end. ex. at frame 48 on timeline (set a key by 0f in the parameters for Free Time) at the end of the length of speech audio set another keyframe (ex. 120) in the Free time parameters. You’ll have to calculate the length between keyframes so if you want it to start on frame 48 and end on frame 120 you set 0f key in parameters for timeline frame 48 and (120-48=72)
at timeline frame 120 set parameter key to 72f.

All affected layers should be below Free Time effect layer.

Audio:
Audio is a separate layer and has a “Delay” parameter wich you can set to ex. start at frame 48.

*I do have problem with setting audio layer delay as Synfig 1.5.3 is crashing everytime when pressing playback after delaying audio playback. Using no delay or negative value and Synfig doesn’t crash. Synfig 1.5.2 doesn’t have this problem and you can use audio delay as normal
