Hi, it’s not directly correlated with this course, but how it’s possibile to generate a audio that is “syncronized” why the things that are happening in the video? Like the robot-movements-sound that pair perfectly with the motion.
The audio doesnt have to be 1 file, so you can add lots of small clips and move them about to postion them exactly where you need. Personally I only added main audio bits in so I can check my timings. Then export without audio and use DaVinci Resolve for the audio in the final product
What happens in the video, is just Pixels being colored. Fitting the Audio is usually a manual process, sort of like Lip Syncing, but then the other way around.
There are some Addons that can sync some audio to what happens in a 3D Scene, but when the video is already Rendered, you can’t sync sounds automatically anymore….
This will probably be possible with AI in the future (or maybe it already is).
Stuart oh, right! I hadn’t thought about using several audio tracks mixed together. Are there any software tools or libraries (preferably open-source or free) to help get started with audio production?
just do a search for what you need, quick search found this link but i would do indivdual searches for what you need, and i know people hate AI but there are mainy generators for sounds and they are also great for cutting through some of the spam when doing searches aswell. https://freesound.org/
For sound design and especially ADR(recording Voice Actors) I recommend Davinci Resolve. The free version works great for this. It’s a pretty complicated software, but really great. If you’re looking for open source and a more intuitive software then for sound editing I recommend Audacity. For midi, scoring, and sound font I recommend Muse Score. I’m not a big fan of MuseHub so just know you will have to dig a little on the muse Score site to find direct download. Then again you might like MuseHub in which case you can download both audacity and muse Score thru it. If you want a more powerful open source DAW(Digital Audio Workstation) Ardour is good, but it’s cheap, but not free. You can download source code for free and compile it. If you want the installer then it’s around $50 USD if I remember correctly.
