Posts: 55 		Hello, I recently downloaded Muvizu and plan on upgrading to Play+ but I am having a couple of issues. I tried directing a scene with 2 characters. I brought in each character's audio line by line on a separate WAV audio track. They synced perfectly, however as soon as I recorded some character movement, and then watched it back, the character would start to sync with his dialogue and then after a moment the sync would stop and the character stopped moving its' mouth. This has been happening to me every time I've made an animation. I would have to keep re-syncing it multiple times to get it correct. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

You should be able to set each character to use a different track and if it only contains their lines the sync should work automatically without any other input from you. If you have multiple voices on a single track you will have to stop and start the sync for each character using direct>dialogue.


Hope this helps

Posts: 55 		Thanks- I'm still having some issues. As an example- I viewed my project's timeline- and all of the voices were in sync. When I output the 29 second video @ 1280 x 720- the audio started out a little choppy and then eventually synced. I then tried outputting the same video at 720x576 and also 720x480 to see if that helped, and the lip sync was completely gone even though it still showed on the timeline and the video preview. Any ideas? Thanks
