TheSpleen Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 need some help here please. I have three wav files I need to go off at specified times. Train whistle, thumping sound of hitting the cow, cow mooing. How do I set them to play when I want them to? here is the test animation.

Paul Forwood Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 How do I set them to play when I want them to? Drag the sounds into your Choreography, or Action, and then select and drag them in the timeline to the required frame. (Alternatively you could add them to music file in Audacity if you are sure that you want to lock everything down.) 1) A couple of points that you probably have covered already but just incase... The cow is currently sliding before the train hits her. To correct this copy her position at frame 0 to the frame before the train hits her, and possibly the frame before too. Adjust the curves if neccesary. 2) The path that the train is easing along should be raised to align the wheels with the top of the rails. Just incase...

Actually that was just to see how things were gonna look. Not a finished animation. not even sure I like the nighttime shot. But wanted to see the headbeam and how that looked. in the pws timeline nothing shows up on the puter I did this on. Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 If you drag the MoooooZic into the chor - you can slide it into place - or actually set the start frame manually. It can be seen easier in the timeline when in "key mode" rather than graph mode, and I don't believe you can slide it in graph mode (but can still manually set beginning frame) I just realized there seems to be a new feature (new to me) - "Linked Sound" - which appears to work such that the linked sound will also move when you change position of this sound. Neat. If you choose to put the sound in an action instead, and drag the action to the chor - then you would change the start frames of the action to move it around. Unfortunately when done like this the visual representation of the music in the chor doesn't correspond to where the music really is located (seems to visually start at the beginning, but plays when it should) - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSpleen Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Thanks again! trying what yall suggested now Nancy and Paul. I raised the train up and have the "Moo" set right in timeline, rendering now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Spread out the timing a little bit. Like, the train toot a couple of seconds before we see it, then the cow moo, THEN the impact and boing. Seems like this is all happening at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I tried to spread it out a tad more but now the sound doesnt seem to be able to move closer to beginning. I am rendering results now.

TheSpleen Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 This is by no means a finished scene. I will continue to work on the deatails and add much more, I just wanted to see how things interacted. I enjoyed this small clip and thought I would share it.
