> I want to do a presentation on a subject compining sound and video I have
gathered material : .wav and . mov files and some pictures(.pic). The .wavs
will play the one after the other and in parallel i will have the pictures
and the .mov files playing one after the other.
> Because each theme i will present has a series of files ( about 10 to 20
files of wav 10 to 20 seconds long, along with 10 to 20 .mov and >pictures
(.pic format)) i want to know what is the best technique for me to
sychronize the files .
Assuming the video files has no sound in them I would think this is a very
basic score project.
I would put the .wav files in the audio channel in the score and the
corresponding pics and movs in the score sprite channels.
Then i would use the "clock channel" in the score to make the playback head
wait for the .wav or the .mov to finis before it moves to the next frame.
That would be the easy basic way.
If you need to know where You are in each .wav or .mov You could consider
inserting cuepoints into these files and have Director check for these and
act appropriately. If You are on Windows You can insert cuepoints with
soundForge or coolEdit.
Look in the Help or Docs for sychronization, audio and video
If You have sound in Your .mov files You shoul be aware of the fact that You
might not be able to play .wav sounds at the same time as the .mov is
playing.
Then of course there is the Lingo way of doing this. You might want to look
into these keywords
puppetSound
sound playFile()
queue()
soundBusy()
cuePointPassed()
movieTime()
movieRate()
Loops in Lingo is created with the repeat statement.
There is "repeat with" and "repeat while". You will find them in the Help
and/or Docs.
Good Luck
