Overlay help! directing/coding

Hi there, bare with me while I try to explain this. So i’m wondering how you direct an overlay, for example what i’m trying to do is control the mouth&facial expressions of a character overlay like they’re talking. (I hope that makes sense) i’ve seen it in other stories so I wanted to give it a try so it looks like they’re talking and not just standing there.

You’d need a GIF, otherwise known as multiple overlays. Here’s a post that explains GIFs better (because I’ve never used one myself):

if you are not happy with existing talking animations and want to create your own you will need several mouth overlays each bit different - from closed to fully open.

And then you will change them so it will create ilusion the lips are moving.

most likely you will need to make it as a looping command to make it last long enoug.
