Papagayo news! A new version of Papagayo has been released, version 2.0b1. Although the application appears much the same as the version 1 series, this is a complete rewrite. Papagayo 1.0 was kind of an experiment in Python application development, and although it worked, it was somewhat of slow and hard to maintain.
Papagayo is a lip-syncing program designed to help you line up phonemes (mouth shapes) with the actual recorded sound of actors speaking. Papagayo makes it easy to lip sync animated characters by making the process very simple - just type in the words being spoken (or copy/paste them from the animation's script), then drag the words on top of the sound's waveform until they line up with the.

- Oh, if anybody is interested in my Pumpkin mouth shapes for Papagayo, I have shared them here.This is what my pumpkin looks like.He uses 8 channels: one for the outline, nose and upper eye, one for the lower eye, one for the top lip, three for three lower lip shapes, one for a small 'oh' (or 'u'), and one for a large 'oh'.
- What we really need is an add-in that takes the export from Papagayo, asks for the channel mappings from the mouth shapes to the appropriate Vixen channels, and the time index in Vixen for time index 1 in Papagayo. Presto, chango, a tool for quickly (relatively speaking;) doing lip-sync.

- Then a small dialogue box will appear asking you to choose the lip Sinc File (This is the DAT file exported from Papagayo) and the “Mouth Timeline” (this is asking for the name of the object timeline, aka the sprite which Spriter will be image swapping to represent all the mouth shapes for the lip syncing.
Papagayo 2.0 has been rewritten to be cleaner, faster, and more stable. Papagayo 2.0 is currently in a beta stage, and there’s still more work to do. But if you’re an existing user I think you’ll find it worth trying out the beta. Depending on the level of interest we see in Papagayo 2.0, there’s a big list of possible enhancements that we could start adding. So let us know what you think!

After syncing up mouth shapes with actual sounds, Papagayo can then export the result for use with Moho, our 2D animation product. Papagayo can also be used with Blender, an open source 3D content-creation program.
