Nutcracker Effects / Question about auto faces
« on: November 28, 2014, 11:38:57 AM »
First off, Sean...amazing job. I can't tell you how much joy your software brings to my family and friends.
Second, sorry if this is a redundant question. I spent a good 4 hours going over everything I could with the Papagayo feature. I got it working for the most part but I ran into a few issues and didn't see these questions previously asked.
Let me briefly tell you where I am in the process.
1. Converted audio file to wav using GoldWave (my preferred tool)
2. Marked up audio file in Papagayo, saved to pgo file
3. Opened xlights and used the Papagayo tab to select my input/output files. The output type was Auto-Faces. I selected my model for voice 1 and created the sequence.
4. On the nutcracker tab I created a new musical sequence. Selected the wav and xml file created in step 3. A few seconds later MAGIC!!!!
Everything is working at this point.
Here are my questions. Does Face Outline do anything when you have auto faces selected? None, rect and round all look the same. Is there a way to adjust the colors used by auto faces? It seems each frame is a different color.
What I'd like to do is not have an outline, keep the eyes and mouth the same color (probably white) and have it over a background effect that is green with some twinkling. I know I can do this by selecting each frame and adjusting but I really don't want to have to adjust 1400 + frames manually.
