Ok... I've searched the forums and tried to solve my problem, but for some reason my mouth animation test isn't working in MoHo.
This is what I've done:
1. Everything looks great in Papagayo, so I press "Export Voice" and save the file as a Moho Switch File.
2. I open Moho and create a new Switch Layer. Then I create separate layers under the switch layer that contain my lip sync images (for testing purposes, I used the Mouth 1 shapes in Papagayo - so these layers are 'Image Layers').
3. Ok... not sure if it matters what order the lip sync images are stored in the Switch Layer, but mine are, AI-WQ (with AI at the top).
4. Right... so, now I go to the Switch Layer, click the switch tab, click the 'Source Data' button and select my recently exported file from Papagayo.
5. I see keyframes in the timeline, but when I press the play button, I get nothing.
6. Anyway, I went ahead and loaded the soundtrack, so at least I can hear something.
What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks,
Rich

Re: Papagayo, Switch Layer, Mouth shapes...
Hello Rich,
Papagayo (and therefore Moho) expects a layer name of "AI", not "AI.jpg".
If the ".jpg" extension isn't the culprit, could you upload your .moho file and .dat file somewhere?

Did you remove the ".jpg" from the layer names of the imported images?FreshRich wrote:2. I open Moho and create a new Switch Layer.

Order doesn't matter, as far as I know.FreshRich wrote:3. Ok... not sure if it matters what order the lip sync images are stored in the Switch Layer, but mine are, AI-WQ (with AI at the top).
If you can see the Switch keyframes, it sounds like you've done everything okay from the Papagayo end. The only thing I can think of immediately that would lead to lack of layer switching would be layer names not corresponding to the switch data file.FreshRich wrote:5.
