5. Troubleshooting Common Installation Issues
Issue 1: "Python API Version Mismatch"
- Cause: The add-on was compiled for an older version of Blender (e.g., 2.79) and is being installed in Blender 3.6+.
- Solution: Check the console for errors (
Window > Toggle System Console). You may need to update the script manually or contact the developer for an update.
Issue 2: Shape Keys Not Detected
- Cause: The rig uses Bones, not Shape Keys.
- Solution: Install a driver-intermediary add-on (like "Faceit") or create Custom Properties on a bone controller and drive those properties manually.
Issue 3: Audio Not Generating Keyframes
- Cause: Incorrect frame range selection.
- Solution: Ensure the timeline start and end frames encompass the audio strip. Some add-ons require you to explicitly select the audio strip in the Sequencer before running the operator.
Step 4: Locate the Tool in Blender
After enabling:
- For Pofe Auto-Lipsync: Go to the 3D Viewport → Sidebar (press
Nkey) → "Lip Sync" tab. - Alternative location: Some versions appear under Object Data Properties (green triangle icon) → Shape Keys panel, or Scene Properties (orange sphere).
Method B: Manual Python Script Installation (Developer Mode)
For custom scripts not packaged as add-ons: auto lip sync blender install
- Navigate to the Scripting workspace tab in Blender.
- Open the Python script file.
- Press the Run Script (Play button) button.
- Note: This method is temporary and must be re-executed every time Blender restarts unless saved in the
startup.blendfile.
