Sound in Anim8or
Steve:
Beginning with build 1380 Anim8or supports sound. Use the Build->AddSound... menu command to add sound .WAV sounds to the scene. The time track shows a visualization of the sound to help synchronize speech morphs and movement.
Note: While you may use .mp3 and .wav files, only .wav files show the sound wave visualization in the track window!
More to come: Tracks for dialog and sound description, character speech morph targets, and more!
I'm working on some examples to post, so stay tuned!
Note: I updated the above link to point to the latest version on May 6.

Nearly Speechless, but not for much longer! !
This is so unexpected, and such an awesome surprise. Can't wait to try it out.
I new it was somewhere on your list, steve, but what a nicely kept secret..

Steve!!! No lie - I'll admit I haven't used Anim8or for anything beyond CAD-type stuff for the past few years - but this might be the feature to encourage me to get back into animation! It's always been a bit on the tough side getting sound to sync up well (gets often to where you're rather syncing the sound TO the animation instead ;) )
Very cool!

Hi steve
Have been playing with the add sound feature. Adding sound is working here, and can add one sound after another with no problems. I understand that is a single sound track, so sounds can not be overlapped. But thats fine.
I can add sound, and when i push play -awesome- the sound plays.
Have found 2 problems.
The sound file is showing above the timetrack, but is only showing a flat line, and not a representation of the sound. Could this be a soundcard/driver issue. I only have the built in microsoft High definition audio device. Haven't updated drivers, (not so easy here), so before updating drivers could there possibly be another reason why the .wav file is only showing as a flat line?
The other problem i'm having is rendering the video with sound. Its only rendering 1 frame. Tried scanline, ART and opengl rendering. go to render 200 frames, uncompressed, and only 1 frame renders. Same with using video compression.
Any ideas? what does your system use in regards to audio? might i need some updating or dedicated soundcard? Thanks.
