Hello Anders!

I also managed to finally= create that animation, swaping the face shapes. Not perfect but better the= n nothing. Still not the Disney type :P As soon as it will be online, I wil= l post it here.

Btw here is my showreel:=C2=A0https://vimeo.com/64075533=C2=A0some face animations are = there too :)

Cheers!

Hi Blazej,
=C2=A0
I have been doing some abrupt mouth shape to shape or blending like Ma= thias=20 mentions in some of my animations. Looking forward to try out the Auto Lip-= Sync=20 when I have the time.

For examples of my simple, abrupt / blending h= ave a=20 look at my 2013 Sundstedt Animation Reel: ht= tps://vimeo.com/sundstedt/reel or=20 view sample video here: http://sundstedt= .co.uk/blog/samples
=C2=A0
In these videos all face animations where done using simply swapping o= r=20 fading one eye or mouth image to the next, in a pre-comped character. Also,= you=20 can achieve things like chewing animation using puppet tool. See Push Digit= al=20 animation.

Hi Blazej,

if you have existing shapes and=20 want to morph from one to the other, the crucial question is in what format= you=20 created your shapes.

If they area shape layer or mask keyframes, AE = will=20 morph between them automatically during the transition from one keyframe to= the=20 next. If they are just images, there is no easy way for automatic morphs an= d you=20 can either go abruptly from one shape to the next or do some frame=20 blending.

@Eric: Thanks for mentioning our Auto=20 Lip-Sync!

Cheers,
Mathias

I would suggest lipsync by mamoworld.com as a start.

I'm sure Mathias will be chiming in very soon.
