    Hey there,

    I created a simple tool for making 2D characters animate their mouths to audio. It consists of a custom component that sits on a Sprite Renderer and switches the sprite and a custom Timeline Track to control the sprite.

    I leverage the fantastic Rhubarb tool to auto-create lip sync from a given audio file.

    Here's a video of the process, skip to 1.25 for the result.

    I wasn't looking for this, but wow, that looks good!
    I had been contemplating using video as part of a project that I'm working on, but I will definitely give this a try first.
    Would I be OK to use this in my app? I'm not sure yet if it is going to be free or whether I will charge, so if that makes a difference, please let me know.
    Once again, great work! :D

    You're totally free to use this tool for any purpose, commercial stuff too. I'd be happy to know if you have any difficulties or questions about it. And hopefully to see some results you get with it. Best of luck.
