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 freetouse app users. Make sure you’re signed in for the links to work!
