How to use Rhubarb for lip sync in Synfig?

Can anyone please make a video about how to use rhubarb for lip sync in synfig? I don’t have any idea. Please someone help me!

Does this help you?

Thank you. It helps but still so complicated for me. I wish there is a video about it.

thank you so much my friend.

Great, @Bala !

But you don’t have to “Import TSV” and copy and paste.
You can Convert the Switch Group parameter called “Active Layer Name” to “Animation From File”.
Then, you select the TSV or XML lipsync file.

Thanks so much. I look forward to getting this to work.

Copy this script and save it as .bat file in the Rhubarb folder and then just click and run it. You’ll be asked to drag and drop the sound file. Make sure the audio file is in .wav format. Rhubarb, after processing the audio file will output .tsv file. You can use this .tsv file in Synfig Studio just like Papagayo .pgo file.

@echo off
set /p audio_file="Drag and drop the audio file here: "
set output_file=%audio_file:.=%
rhubarb.exe %audio_file% -r phonetic -f tsv --datFrameRate 24 -o "%~dp1%output_file%.tsv"
pause

A year ago I was commonly making videos lip syncing entirely with synfig and rhubarb account and I am willing to make a video and share code with exactly how I did it.

It actually is pretty easy once you get used to a lot of squirrely code that is different between the windows and Linux versions

I just tried to post something on locals but it wasn’t public enough but I will try to find something to post here to show you that I made entirely with rhubarb and lip sync game with the synfig. No typing, entirely just using a conversion from wave files into eight phoneme shaped mouth whatever thingies much like what the parrot does in a much more complicated way

You may have to join locals, and look for me I am Woody m and I have maybe a channel called synfiguring that I fancied might be a place where I could show some things because I like the video interface if nothing else

I took all my stuff down from a lot of places for a lot of reasons, but I started doing some work toward making an educational rhubarb synfig video but got sidetracked a year ago. I think I had a lot of stuff almost ready to go if I just crack open a few laptops
