I forgot how to show audio in the timeline

[the switch]

ok ok don't yell at me I'm sorry for thiis post,

BUT I'v looked and looked for this all over the forums and in the anime help file, I used to use moho and then stoped for a long time, now I can't figure it out in anime studio, my memory is a blank

I'm sorry for this stupid question

Hi the switch,
Try:
In mainwindow (on top): Animation Menu: Select Soundtrack.
In manual: User Interface-> Menus -> Animation Menu.

Nothing to it. Just go to >File< >Import<>Soundtrack< and look for your AIFF or WAV file.
I wish I knew what to do for sound in a flash export.
I can only get sound on Quicktime exports.

yea I'v done the above, many times actually and the audio won't show up in the timeline, like an image of the waves in the sound or music, it did this in moho and there was a key combination to turn it on or off

I have no problems with soundtrack in AS, as long as I keep the sample frequency a multiple of 11.025 KHz (11.025, 22.050 or 44,100 KHz). If I use any other sample frequency, the sound will not be exported in SWF, only in QuickTime. I used a WAVE file format, but AIFF will work just as well.

(Mac OS X, 10.3.9, QuickTime Player 7.1.3).

Here are the files:

• stepper.mov
• stepper.swf
• stepper.zip (source, use "save as")

I hope this helps.

k I'll try changing the smaple frequency in another app and see if that does it

[the switch]

yea got it working, sorry about that, yes the sampleing was not compatable, I was skimming the docs because I know it all from moho so I must have missed that little detail, its been awile I forgot, thank you

[Rasheed]

I'm glad you got it working.

My favorite app for resampling is Audacity (freeware). I changed the sample frequency of the original sound (48 Khz) and changed the tempo so, that the original play time was restored to 3 seconds.

Nevertheless, I saw that the SWF is played back slower than the MOV file, although I used the exact same export features. I don't know why that is.

Is it only on my computer, or does everyone hears the difference in pitch between the MOV and SWF?

[the switch]

ok ok I'm back

so yea about flash, I got the music to play with the visual in the timeline but can't export to flash and so, is there information about what EXACTLY qualifys as flash compatable sound or music .wav file

I'm using a sound conversion tool called switch and it gives me tones of options when converting to .wav format besides just smple frequency

[the switch]

ok so I downloaded your stepper source and imported the step sound (your file) into anime studio and exported to swf and wala. . . . no sound. . . . .???

now I'm really confused. . . .

mabe I missed somthing. . .

For some reason it doesn't work, while it did work earlier. It must be bit rot
