[CRAzYFRUiTPablo]

I have a question. What is a monkey jam saved folder? because when you say look in your monkey jam saved folder i don't know where to go.

[Brickstudios4]

@CRAzYFRUiTPablo It's where ever you save your monkeyjam pictures, it's in a folder named the project you named it. I named my project "BLARG" so I just went to my documents folder, then opened up the "BLARG" folder and there are my pictures.

[LegoFan9874]

Interesting.

[Zmaster358]

but what if they're moving?

[LegoGuys538]

[TheLangers500]

@David60901 import the pictures onto your computer and go from there

[superyoshiom]

Is it possible to accoplish this without Monkey Jam?

[g70460us]

Just do it the amuture way and buy two separate heads and on one of them draw a marker on one of em so you have two heads when you need one to talk just switch heads but near the end I get it but still you have to make a new one every new scene

[g70460us]

I don't want to go through all this crap just to make a mouth move

[Legoreviewer345]

[theextremebros1]

[nycearts]

good tutorial, but do you have to use monkeyjam for this???

[NoobsterStudios]

Very good tutorial.

[Scrathion]

Great tutorial

[Mindreader28]

LOL MJ save Monkey Jam or Michael Jackson lol

[captainawesome0711]

could it work the same with Windows 7?

[awesomedudeyrox]

yes

[legofreak2000]

What I do is just take one picture, and edit it with the mouth open. Then I analyse the voice pattern on the audio and sync the photos to there. Your way looks like it's just as good.

[MrDudeTube7]

cool. will it work on a mac?

[Legomad18]

R u the Mommy Monkey?

[thefourmonkeys]

That's me! @(^_^)@

[legofreak7898]

my monkey jam dont work with my webcam

[dimax997]

well what webcam do you have?

[legofreak7897]

Microsoft LifeCam Cinema

[dimax997]

I had once a Microsoft LifeCam (VX-5000) and from what I remember, it worked perfectly fine, it's maybe cuz the USB cable is in a USB slot that doesn't work or somethin'.

[legofreak7897]

i also have VX-5000 and that didn't work

[dimax997]

well...when u click capture, does it shows "Select Camera"? if that's the case, go to "Camera" and select "Microsoft LifeCam VX-500", if that doesn't help, i have no idea what will :(

[mattlair101]

Could you guys post the mouth video with movement? I kinda need to know.

[thepoket65]

hay dude i think i have the exact same cammra as you and also where can i get monkey jam

[thefourmonkeys]
