Sound not syncing + lo def exports 2013-04-18 02:39:59 Reply

Hey, I just made a pretty graphically heavy animation. Lots of alpha layers, a full filter over the whole thing, large 'special imported' imaged copy and pasted from photoshop being tweened and moved around throughout.

I've been using the 'stream' option and putting my sounds directly into the timeline, because I don't know of any other way of getting sounds in there, really.

There is a couple second lag on pretty much every sound byte, but they're perfectly synced with the lip movements. They work fine in the test play, but when exported and when 'test movie'd they lag. Seperately, in their scenes, they work. But the full movie is too much for Flash to handle, I guess.

Also, I can't export without the quality drastically lowering and the sound not syncing. Someone please help. Thanks!!

That .FLA itself is 45,757 kb. and the SWF is 1,671.

Would really like to get his up on youtube sometime soon, thanks for your help! I will send the .FLA to anyone willing to help....

I can. But the sound lags and won't sync properly. And regardless, I'm trying to get it on YouTube so I'd prefer an .avi or .mov file. I'll PM you my aim name.

Sound Quality:
File>Publish Settings>Flash (.swf)>Audio Stream
-Compression, MP3
-Don't convert Stereo to Mono (Unless desired)
-Bit rate, 128kps or 160kps depending on your actual audio files quality
-Quality, Best

Audio Sync Issue:
This has always been a problem in all versions of Flash. Usually this can be fixed by simply moving the frame rate back 00.05fps. If you're using 24fps use 23.95fps, if you're using 25fps use 24.95fps.
Alternatively, export your animation as a video file and use a different program to add sound such as After Effects.

everything kitty wrote is definitely worth trying. i'm pretty sure oney mentioned in a tutorial that he had to do that frame rate change thing as well, so that may very well be the issue. either way i added you on aim so if all else fails i could render the video as well. btw what version of flash are you on?
