I'm getting started with Acculips. I followed the guide on importing an audio file, and it plays fine. However, in the Timeline, I see no way to name this animation, or save it, or do anything with it:



What am I missing here? I'm expecting to process a large number of audio files in this way, with the result being some animation clips that just perform facial movement. I want each clip to have a meaningful name (ideally the same name as the audio file I imported). Thanks.

The easiest would probably be setting start/end frame to the desired Viseme/Expression clip, selecting character,
opening Expression folder in Custom Content > Animation > Expression
and then clicking Save button giving the iTalk file an appropriate name. Next time you load the file it would inherit the given name.

Thanks. That does seem to work. It does seem a bit odd that these then become completely independent external files at that point, instead of being a collection of animations in that project, but I suppose that doesn't change the way I'm going to be using the resulting iTalk files anyway, so this works for me. Thanks again.
