PapagayoMOD with Video Export !!!

2008-05-31T02:37:00.008+03:00

I uploaded a new build that can export AviSynth scripts
that play as normal video with sound in media player classic.
Just use the "Export to Avisynth..." option from the "File" menu.
You can use VirtualDub to convert it to an AVI.

******Yet another Updated build******

Now allows the user to choose if the FPS, phonemes
and words will be visible in the exported video.

NOTE: The images in the video are the ones from the currently chosen mouth set.
Change the mouth set, or even better create a new one, and the video will use that.
To create a new mouth set:
1. Duplicate (copy-paste)and rename an existing folder of the "mouths" directory,
2. open and edit the jpg files in the folder, making sure they all have the same dimensions (ex: 400x400 pixels) and their names are intact (ex. AI.jpg, etc.jpg, ...)
3. restart PapagayoMOD and choose your new mouth set.

Download it from here : rapidshare
or here : divshare

papagayoMOD 1.3.5.3

2007-04-26T02:26:00.000+02:00

Based on the source code of Papagayo v1.1
from this forum

PapagayoMOD v1.3.5 is a lipsync helper for people doing animation

History:

Changes from 1.3.4 to 1.3.5.1:
*More Drag-n-Drop bug fixes

Changes from 1.3 to 1.3.4:
*Bug fixes
*Scale on Drag option
*win32 binary compiled with unicode version of wxPython

Changes from 1.2 to 1.3:
*Bug fixes
*XSheet
*Image export
*Extra languages (the ones provided by 'myles', in the 'Test version of Papagayo supporting extra languages' topic)
*Automatic loading of additional language breakdown modules
*When loading an audio file, it automatically loads the text file (.txt) with the same name

Features:
Undo/Redo
Phoneme Drag 'n Drop
Phoneme deletion with right-click
Excel file export
Ctrl-Space shortcut for Sound playback
Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-Y undo redo shortcuts

NOTE: To automatically load any new language breakdown module,
it must have a filename in the form 'language_breakdown.py'
(ex: dutch_breakdown.py)
And in that there must be a function in the form 'breakdownLanguageWord(word)'
(ex: 'breakdownNorwegianWord(word)')
The function may have any additional parameters
as long as they have a default value.
The bad news is that it searches and automatically
loads new modules only in the source distribution.
To make a binary distribution with 'py2exe' you must
add a line to the 'LipsyncFrame.py' to import the module
(ex: "import dutch_breakdown"), nothing else.
It will automatically scan through all the loaded modules and find the correct function.

Uses a modified 'ThumbnailCtrl' module (which requires PIL),
'pyExcelerator-0.6.3a' for Excel file export
(if you don't have it installed the Excel export option will be disabled)

The source code is a little messy but it works (for me at least)

Tested on Python 2.4, wxPython 2.6-unicode, WindowsXP.

-----------download links-----------

papagayoMOD 1.3.5.3 win32 binary from here

and the source files
(only the .py files, without the resources, or the sound lib)

I hope these work

and
BTW I want to announce that i am postponing further
development indefinitelly.

Enjoy.
