What You'll Learn
- Import a character reference image.
- Move and scale the character in the Preview.
- Position the mouth artwork on the face.

Before You Start
The character image is used as a visual reference while editing. The mouth artwork remains the animation element you export.
Step by Step
- Import the character image
Use the Face controls in the Preview area to load your character reference image.
- Position the character
Move the character until the face is centered where you want it in the Preview.
- Scale the character
Adjust the face size so the Preview resembles the framing you expect in your animation.
- Position the mouth
Move the mouth artwork over the correct position on the character face.
- Adjust the mouth size
Scale the mouth until it fits the character while keeping the original imported mouth artwork unchanged for export.
- Play the dialogue
Watch the lip sync on the character and use the timeline whenever you need to make timing changes.
