Plea to Igor

[stonemason]

Please add sound sync to PTE 5 as soon as possible, as I'm sure that people like me who use voice-over sound tracks are put off using and therefor learning and testing the new version because the sound and slides in created exe files are so far out of sync, as to make it not worthwhile doing them.

I agree!

[Ian]

There have been a lot of comments about the synchronisation not working, but I can't really see what the problem is. I've made several new or updated sequences with v5, and found that the synchronisation works pefectly on the various computers they've been played back on.

There are a couple of minor operational glitches to be wary of - eg when constructing the sequence the timeline view is a fraction of a second out, but once you've allowed for this on any critical points the saved exe should remain synched as expected.

Other people have reported problems with the audio starting to repeat at the end of a sequence, but again if you're careful to end both screenhtime and audio at the same point this problem disappears.

Unless I've been particularly lucky (which is unusual in itself), you should be able to produce a synchronised sequence with the beta version already.

Ian have you used voice over soundtracks or just music?

[Ian]

Both - with voiceovers I generally combine commentary, sound effects and music into one MP3 file anyway, so I only use one audio file for the sequence.

That's the way I do it too most of the time - I don't think the voiceover function on the "Sound" line in PTE is activated yet in v.5.

[Igor]

We're working on sound synchronization and all related options right now.

It will be in beta #9
