Full Version (10 min.)

UPDATE (9/6/2010): I’ve added thumbnail previews of the mouth shapes to the SmartMouth extension.

UPDATE (10/22/2010):
Nearly all systems are go. We’ve completed the license docs, the payment system is ready, and SmartMouth is almost ready for release. We were hoping to have it ready for release the week of Adobe MAX, but we still need another week to complete testing, produce user documentation, and make some minor refinements. At this point, we’re hoping to have SmartMouth ready for release during the first week of November. If you’d like to be notified of this release, you can sign up for our newsletter.

I’ve had a number of users contacting me regarding ways to learn Adobe Flash Professional. There are a lot of great resources available for users interested in animation, design, and development in Flash.  Whether you’re an advanced user, or totally new to Flash, there are tons of resources available. Over the years, I’ve read dozens of books and visited hundreds of sites. So, I decided to put together a single page with many of my favorite Flash learning links. Enjoy!

FrameSync is a Flash extension, originally released nearly 2 years ago, that allows you rapidly lip-sync your characters with an audio track. With this newest release, you can sync your characters even faster and easier than before.

In the process of putting together a Flash CS5 animation book with Chris Georgenes, I started looking at new features that could be added to FrameSync based on the updated extensibility layer in Flash Professional CS5. In addition to that, I had a few requests from users about displaying label-less keyframes in the FrameSync panel. While I was under the hood making these changes, I made a few other improvements as well. Hope you enjoy!

New Features!

The new features for version 2.0 are as follows…
