Hello:
Using Cartoon Animator 4.3 on mac:
I am trying to LIp-Sync with imported wave file.
I wish to override on top of facial mocap that was done separately, to make it looks realistic.
However the facial mocap has a mouth track that is overriding the Lip-Sync.
But I couldn't get rid of the mouth track, the keyframes are all greyed out.

Can someone help me out please?

How about deleting the track?

Hi vepop, I could.. but I'd like to retain the MoCap for the rest of the face.
Yeah that's the way I managed to work around it, but the price to pay is that I now have a lifeless cartoon face :(
Reading the manual a bit more, I found that the priority order is as follows:

Mouth: Switches in the S track > Clips in the Voice Clip track and its keys in the Lips sub-track > Clips in the Facial Clip track and its keys in the Face track > Clips in the Face Motion track.

So currently the MOUTH_S track with the disabled (uneditable) keyframes are taking priority over the Voice Clip track / Lips sub-track :(

Any suggestions?
