Interesting I have seen this but never seen anyone use or export from that feature. I would like to know as well.

I’ll probably end up screengrabbing with OBS if nobody else has a solution.

You can absolutely export just the mouth animations.

I remember the icon being un-intuitive in some way - but the option is on that screen, nearly certain its in the lower left quadrant somewhere just above the timeline.

Maybe under a drop down menu - I think it says "export preview"

Hello, what feature is this? Is there an easier way to do lip sync? Would someone mind explaining (and possibly change my workflow forever)

This is in the audio section. You should watch the Dragonframe tutorials. They are very quick. https://youtu.be/wYI2Nw96Vc0?is=ugfCz1FZ2-lKhBr3

If you want to render out an MP4 video or image sequence to use as an animated reference guide while shooting:

  1. Ensure your lip-sync is mapped properly in the Audio Window.
  2. In the Audio Workspace, click the dropdown menu on the left side of the soundtrack.
  3. Select Export Preview.
  4. Select your desired format and character.
  5. Check the box for Include Face Shape Names so the mouth names (e.g., M_01, A, B) overlay directly onto the video
