This video shows how I animate lip sync on Alight Motion, using a vine/meme audio as an example.

It’s kinda fast though, and you may easily get confused… Do pause if you need to.

* At some point, I briefly covered Layer Parenting, a feature only available on Alight Motion Premium (which costs money). However, you CAN do this tutorial without Layer Parenting. I merely used it to demonstrate how it works, and with it or not, it doesn’t contribute much to my lip sync. :)

* Here are package links so you can open my lip sync on Alight Motion. One of them has no Layer Parenting for the free-to-use app users. Make sure you’re signed in for the links to work!
