Parrot Lipsync earns its place in the Superhive library for the switch to the Allosaurus engine, which took its lip-sync from a handful of common languages to any language.
Parrot Lipsync is an addon for Blender that automatically generates lip-synced data from audio tracks. It works for both 2D and 3D animation, producing keyframes from a supplied audio track.
From version 1.1.0 onward, Parrot uses the Allosaurus engine to approximate syllables, so it can be used with any language. Earlier versions were word-based and limited to a small number of common languages; that restriction no longer applies.
The addon supports Blender 4.2 through 4.5 and is released under the MIT license. Documentation is provided, and a demo video is available. Within the Superhive library it has recorded over ninety sales, and the developer is a Blender Development Fund contributor. It is listed here as free, so check the developer's page for current licensing details.
Parrot Lipsync is best for animators generating lip-sync for 2D or 3D animation in Blender from audio tracks in any language.
Parrot Lipsync is completely free to download and use.
Parrot Lipsync lists support for Blender versions 4.2 through 4.5, so it is aimed at recent releases of the software rather than older ones. If you are on a build inside that range, the addon is intended to run in your Blender environment. For versions outside 4.2 to 4.5, compatibility is not stated, so it is worth confirming on the developer's page before installing. The addon is released under the MIT license, which is noted alongside its version support.
Parrot Lipsync can be used with any language. From version 1.1.0 it uses the Allosaurus engine to approximate syllables, which removed the earlier limitation to a small number of common languages. Prior versions were word-based and worked with only a few common languages, but that restriction no longer applies. In practice this means audio tracks in languages that were not previously supported can be used to generate lip-synced keyframes, whether the project is 2D or 3D.
Parrot Lipsync is listed here as free, though licensing can change over time. The addon itself is released under the MIT license, and the developer, kitfox.com, is noted as a Blender Development Fund contributor. For the current terms and any purchase details, the developer's page is the place to check before you download. The listing also records over ninety sales on Superhive, so it has been distributed to a number of users.
Parrot Lipsync supports both 2D and 3D animation, generating lip-synced data from an audio track in either case. It produces keyframes automatically from the supplied audio, and with the Allosaurus engine approximating syllables, the same approach applies whatever the language. Documentation is included with the addon, and a demo video is available for reference. This makes it applicable to a range of Blender projects that need mouth movement synced to an audio track.
