Problem with a Flash animation

Pages: (1/2) > >>

shmokes:

I'm trying to make an e-learning type video with Flash that consists of a combination of video of me explaining stuff, and animation with voiceover.  I'm having a big problem, though, with the video and audio losing their sync when I embed them into the Flash animation.  Can anyone give me any suggestions?  It's really frustrating. 

jbox:

Apologise to your wife about whatever it was you said and/or did that means she wont help you?  :laugh2:

lcddream:

i haven't used flash in awhile...but i think it has something to do with how you have the sound defined as event or streaming.

preloading the content will surely help as well.
you might need to have the sound fully encompassed by frames also...not just in one keyframe.
i found this for ya an example fla with sound synched

hope this helps

edit: re-reading your post i think i see what you mean.
you have a complete audio/video file that loses synch in the flash player.
you might want to separate the audio and video and line them up manually in flash by importing them individually....like i said it's been awhile.

also http://www.were-here.com/forum/ is a great flash resource, and friendly community.

Dartful Dodger:

The audio should be on the main time line, and like lcddream said, set Properties > Sync > Stream.

What version of Flash are you using?

Make sure all the files being imported are the same frame rate as the fla.

If you can, The video should be converted to an flv.


RayB:

OK here's the deal, if the audio is in the video, then convert it to FLV and all will be well when you stream it through the FLVPlayback component (which is a youtube style simple player that comes free with Flash Professional and maybe even Basic)

Option 2, if the video has sound and you feel you MUST embed it into the main Flash movie (perhaps you have no way to convert to FLV), do this:

1. Determine what the frame rate of the video file is. Typical rates are 30fps, or 15fps and sometimes other.

2. Set the Flash movie properties to the SAME FRAME RATE.

3. Now import your video file. The sound will stay in sync.

Option 3: If the video has no sound and you are adding it seperately, you must put the sound file into a keyframe in the timeline, and in the Properties panel you must set the sync option to "STREAM". Anything else will not keep it in sync.
