|
||
a .scn file is a simple text file that point to the .mp3 of dialogue and the .lip file.
|
||
<P>
|
||
A .scn file should look like this<BR>
|
||
??? JAKE?!?!<BR>
|
||
???
|
||
<P>
|
||
I’m pretty sure U know what an .mp3 is.<BR>
|
||
A .lip file is generated by a program called Magpie.
|
||
<P>
|
||
A brief explanation of magpie. Magpie will take an actors speech(.wav/.mp3) file and convert that to a list of phonemes. Phonemes being mouth positions. Which there are 9 mouth positions.
|
||
<P>
|
||
mapgpie will take Boots line, “let’s get some breakfast.” And spit out a .lip file (which is .txt readable) that has all the positions needed to make that statement.
|
||
<P>
|
||
A .lip file must begin with [mouth] NOT [new channel] which magpie does. So edit that in a text editor.
