Now I just need to get my mic to work for the lip-syncing and I'll be off and running.

It might also be due to using Quicktime (it's a bit of a resource hog) - you might want to try using VLC media player or Media Player Classic:

Welcome to Muvizu!

For your first question, it might be that the mp3 is being distorted somehow via the import process. We haven't seen this before. Best thing would be if you could send the file to bugs@muvizu.com

For the second question, it could be an issue with the particular codec that you chose. Which codec have you selected?

I just downloaded Muvizu and so far I am loving it........I have some experience with Maya but this is such a great tool that allows me to start animating quickly.

Ok, so I have 2 quick questions:

- My first scene as practice is to animate a band (guitar, drums and bass) with music imported as the "background" music. The sound file (.mp3) seems to be a little distorted in Muvizu but when I listen to it in ITunes there isn't a problem. Is there a trick or configuration to importing audio?

- I finished the movie above and "rendered" it but when I play it within Microsoft Media Player (on XP), I get the CODEC error. I set it at the "normal Youtube" setting. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks everyone. I'm really looking forward to learning more about this tool and starting to share some of my videos.
