Hi all,have a newbe question,I want to do a music video have the multi track done and want to animate three charactors to lipsinc the three voices in the song is it possible and whats the best way to do it??thanks in advance. 

Put on headphones, listen to the music, and carefully and clearly, speak the words in plain English into the microphone in synch with the voice track. Import that recording for each character. Use the facial puppet or facial keyframe tools to exaggerate facial expression wherever needed.

When you're finished animating all 3 characters, export the video. Add the audio track in an external video editor.

Thanks for the quick response will try this and see what happens,regards Marty.

this what i need help with. how do you get rid of your voice track and keep it so the mouth moves

One way to remove the sound is to turn the volume down to 0 in your external editor before you ad the music track.

im sorry for being so stupid but you can not import video in audacity

I use After Effects, but it is neither free nor cheap. Perhaps Adobe Premiere Elements. I have been looking into Power Director 10 for my oldest daughter. She loves making videos. She's been using Windows Movie Maker, which is free, but it is very limited. I have never used Power Director 10 but it looks promising. It not only edits videos but has some special effects with it. My daughter is 10 and I am not ready to shell out a bunch of money on expensive editing software for her just yet so I am thinking about trying it out. The reviews I've read sounded good. We'll see I guess.

I must have misunderstood, I thought that you were wanted to know about an free audio editor. There is Windows Movie Maker, which can be used for video editing and very simple scene transitions.

EDIT: Doug beat me to the punch.
