HI,

Using 23B will work, and I probably will use it.

I do have the dialog split by character. How do I load each for a character. Is this a special effect?

William



Just load each track as you did the first and prepare dialogue for each one for the character of your choice.]]> Sat, 04 May 2013 22:23:43 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2736-muvizu-play-dialog-and-timeline.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 fazz68 wrote:
you only get one sound effects track ,not sure why, multiple sound effect tracks would be awesome.

if you load your vocal soundtrack as an effect you wont be able to lip sync it.

and you can stick single sound effects into an audio track

I always thought one audio track, period. Live and learn. I`ll give a try. If each piece of dialog was loaded as an effect, like music, is there a limit?

Hi,

I've been using Muvizu Play this week, and I am having a good deal of trouble with dialog and the timeline.
If I move around on the timeline using the mouse, to adjust dialog start/stop, the timeline does not seem
to re-sink with the dialog audio. Does anyone else have this problem?

William



if you separate the dialogue for each character into separate mp3's then you could load them in and assign then to the individuals required setting the dialogue to talk for each.

This would remove the need for talk/shush direction and therefore the problems with syncing too!

Hope this helps

Cheers

I've been playing with dialog and the timeline all day. I must say, a real bear. It's better with cue points and re-syncing, but I have lots of dialog to sync. 5 characters. Much better in the old version.

Lots of time and effort.

William

Not part of this thread but.....

As an aside. In the older version, when I edited audio (prepare) and emptied, then imported again it retained the starting position and character sync. It also showed the percent of audio. The audio edit dialog from the timeline is much better than the import audio dialog.

Also, is it possible to right mouse menu (add character to timeline) or right mouse menu (remove character from timeline). The time line is much better than the first version, but when you have many many characters, and wish to match one character's actions/dialog to another character's actions/dialog, scrolling up and down can become tedious. I see the timeline filters, but they really do not remove full featured characters from view.

When I do an object search for patio, as in patio doors, it does not find it?

Or am I missing something or somethings. Which, by the way, would not be rare in my case.

OK, I'll give it a try for a few days and see how it goes. I'll let you know.

Thanks

Oh, just thought, this is how I do it in 23b, don't know if it'll still work in Play. Please let us know if it does.]]> Sat, 04 May 2013 12:54:10 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2736-muvizu-play-dialog-and-timeline.aspx Message from wdeprospo
I don't have a section marked out, so I have a total timeline problem. This scene, 'unfortunately' is 5 minutes of dialog between 5 characters. I will mark sections to limit my sync time. As long as I know this is still a problem, I can work around it. Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

William - do you think you're falling foul of this issue......


"We still have the issue of the sound sync. If you have a section of the timeline selected as your shot and you play from the start of section marker then the sound is in sync - i.e. how it will be when you render. If you play from the middle of the section then it will be out by some distance. This slows production down as for each pass (dialog/head/action/eyes) you need to start recording from the beginning to make sure what you are hearing is in the same place as it will be when you render. This is also true when you are just playing the section to adjust things. Over time this means many hours are wasted."]]> Sat, 04 May 2013 06:36:22 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2736-muvizu-play-dialog-and-timeline.aspx Message from wdeprospo
