Posts: 520 		I was following this tutorial http://muvizu.com/Video/17239/Tutorial-14-Directing-Basic-dialogue-music-an

but when I click "Prepare Dialogue" I get a pop-up with no tabs and no way to bring in a pre-recorded sound file as is shown in the tutorial.

I should probably get round to doing some tutorials.

Anyway, to import dialogue, go to prepare-->dialogue-->new-->import.

I hope this helps,

Also, the wiki is a good place to find updated instructions.

I think MrDrWho13 meant to say "Prepare > Audio > New...". You go to Prepare > Audio to choose or import sound for your video. Although I'm guessing you actually already sussed that out since the screenshot you posted already suggests you successfully imported "ooooh.wav"! If any of the audio is to be used as dialogue, you then go to Prepare > Dialogue where you can choose the character you want to talk and which audio track you want them to lipsync to. From here, you then go to Direct > Dialogue to get the character to "Talk" or "Sush" at appropriate points.

As far as I can see, this screenshot suggests you've actually already perfectly set-up the character "Charles" to lipsync to "ooooh.wav". As soon as you hit Play on the Timeline, Charles should start talking (unless "ooooh.wav" is an entirely silent audio file)?

Well, yes I thought I had sussed it out by doing what you say above, however nothing happened when I chose "Talk" as the start action and pressed Record. Here is the timeline immediately afterwards.




So I thought it must mean I had to use the operation shown in the Tutorial which I know now is obsolete.

Here is the .WAV file showing in Audacity, it is Mono, 32 bit, 44100 MHZ - and I can hear it through my headphones outside Muvizu, just not inside

That's a strange problem there, try amplifying it?

Strange! Is there any chance you could mail the WAV file and the SET file with the WAV imported to bugs@muvizu.com so we can have a look at this?

Posts: 520 		Hey! I fixed it!. I went into the "Prepare Audio" chose the ooooh.wav file then "Edit" then "Import" and chose it again and the waveform appeared. Then I chose "Direct Dialogue" and it worked. I must have done something stupid like that before and replaced the ooooh.wav file internally with an empty file of the same name?

I'll know better next time
