Collaberation *syncing Issues*

Posted by BoMbLu - October 25th, 2009


ForbidMetal's original post which never got to see the light of day:
Hey,

I'm co-leader of a collaberation and we're in the final stages of compiling and releasing said collaberation. As the title suggests we are having trouble with syncing the flash.
Here is a trailer if anyone is interested.

The 40K Collab Trailer

Anyway.
The syncing is fine for a bit, but the further through it goes, the more out of sync the animations become.

Here's some things you may need to know:
-Flash CS3 is what we are using.
-The sounds are on 'Stream'
-I'm exporting MP3, 160kbps, Stereo (have also tried mono and every other type of kbps)
-export settings are on 'Fast' (have also tried 'best')

I'm not sure if it only happens on certain scenes, but it is definetly more noticeable on different scenes.

Does anyone know how to export audio from a specific scene of a file? I know you can export audio from the WHOLE file, but what about just one scene?
Does anyone know anyway to fix the syncing issues?

Any help would be extremely appriecated, thanks a lot.

ForbidMetal.

/UPDATE/ I also tried putting in a lopping blank sound file to the whole collab, however, all it did was play the first few scene's audio than stop playing sound completely

try doing the following. mash up the sounds with audacity (google audacity if you dont know what it is) to all be 1 sound file instead of many sound files.
2 ways to do this:

-Capture it while playing the collab itself (easiest)
-Or place all the parts into audacity manually

if this is not what you are looking for then try this
place the wave files into keyframes (i have not tested this myself)
When you get too many sound files on the timeline for some reason flash will eventually start to loose sync. thats why i recommend using audacity, I assume it would keep sync but i have NOT tested this.

-Good luck ;)

oh and another thing, the audio quality settings have nothing to do with the sync.

Thanks a lot for the help 10JD, we may have fixed the problem :D
