    Big problem with Lip-Syncing. (No name of main character!)

    Hello guys.
    Sorry if there was a message like this before, but I really need your help. So I am making this amazing movie right now and I am so glad the way its coming out with the lip-syncing. Its my second time recording, and the first time it was all G o o d [Good]. Unfortunately, when I started recording my second movie, my computer turned E v i l [Evil].

    Here is what happened:
    I have this actor named Vanilla Gucchio. I imported her from Star Maker twice, because sometimes I need different outfits.
    So I have two girls exactly the same. Anyways, I go into the Advanced movie maker, and there is the screen where you pick out the title, genre, style (I always choose Freeform), and main characters. So there goes one Vanilla Gucchio as Nathalie Andretti. The supporting roles are her mother and best friend. At the beginning, the other Vanilla is in a towel and I never picked out a name for her so its like Audrey something. When I record my voice and assign it to her, it works. However, she obviously changes into normal clothes in like the third scene, and then the other Vanilla (Nathalie, the lead role) is in the movie for the whole thing. However, when I record my voice and press on the recorded dialogue to assign it to her... SHE ISNT ON THE LIST! WTF [:wtf:] I am very frustrated by that. There are all the names of the other people that are just there to make the scene look natural and the mother and the best friend AND the Vanilla in the towel... but no main character. So it should say Nathalie Andretti (Vanilla Gucchio) but instead it is the other copy of her. So basically when I record something, she stands like a jerk with her mouth closed when she should talk, because her name isnt on the list. I cant assign her anything that I recorded. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me!!!

    Thank you!
    And
    in
    the
    end
    Everybody
    becomes
    the
    person
    they
    swore
    they
    will
    Never
    become.
    >.<

    It sounds to me that you haven't realized how to permanently set costumes for one actor. If you are using two different people for the same character, there's a much easier way to fix this problem.

    Just (when at the screen when you select movie titles, movie genre, actors, etc) drag your actress to the position you want. Then drag that person to a button on the right that looks like a coat hangar. That will bring up a wardrobe screen where you can pick the main outfit you want the eprson to wear. Then, in each scene where you want that person to wear something different, drag the character onto the coat hangar again and set the costume you want for that scene.

    Also, if you right click on the scene, it duplicates everything in it (weather, actors, camera angles, etc) so you don't have to do it manually every time.
