Re: Creating a cuepointing tool - Lingo version

[Fabrice Closier]

Sorry, i'am mac based... and i was just dropping down the info without being in middel of this topic, i just though it might help...

used per coincidence last week SoundEdit cuepoints, work really amazingly wel.
if you have the footage QT, why don't you extract the sound and import both into dir? you could then sync without a hitch...
specially if you confirm that SF supports cuepoints on wav files. QT footage is pretty easy to check, then if you could let loop both on two frames, with a pretty general script, things might not be such a challenge...

But i'am pretty sure you might need something else... we mostly need different solutions in most cases!!
but again, i was just in the neighborhood of this topic, saw light, read a few lines...

Well back in '99 when I was trying to do this SoundForge v4 only did cue
points on wave files and not on QuickTime on the PC! Be good news if
that has changed. Can you let me know?

Woking on the PC I had this problem many years ago as there was no PC
software for putting cue points into a QuickTime file back then (and
still today I think). So I approached it from a Lingo level and wrote
a behavior that simulates the effect of cuepoints by just using
counting the amount of time the QT sprite has been playing. Works very

well and I have used it on several CD-ROM projects to great effect. It

also removes
the messy business of having to edit in the QT CuePoints in the first
place!
