Do you mean phonemes? Are you using mimic? If so that usually can just come in as a pz3 via the import options. May have to tweak key frames or adjust the actual frame rate. I would adjust the frame rate before importing to match the frame rate of the import. Lot's of keyframes so it can slow things down.

No need to think outside the box....
