Whatever scene I use in Muvizu Play (even an empty scene) any audio I import is limited to 8.15 seconds. I can play the audio in Audacity, Windows Media Player, VLC, etc., and they all play to their (different) and correct lengths.

Even if I return to a previous scene and re-import audio that is already present, anything past 8.15 gets cut off.

Help! Duhh

If it cuts off your video for after 8.15 mins you can drag the pink triangle on the top bar of the timeline (the one with the times on it) to the end of your video. this pink triangle marks the end of your video.

The audio I am trying to import ranges from 13s to 20s, but always, always, gets truncated to 8.15s.

Normally, the video would end at the elapsed time of the video (without anything else to extend it).

I have restarted Muvizu and (in the finest traditions of IT problems) turned my PC off and on again. No change.

Posts: 975 		What format file are you using ?

I have never got mp3 files to work in Muvizu although I understand they can. I always use .WAV files, and even then I have to be careful with the encoding.

Try using WAVs and see how you get on (assuming you are not of course).

Posts: 19 		When I go through 'Prepare' / 'Audio' / 'New' / 'Edit' / 'Import' the waveform is shown, but truncated at 8.15s. If I then go into timeline the audio is shown, but it, and the end marker, end at 8.15s.

If I move the end marker to 20 s before importing the audio the same thing happens.

Just re-downloading it now...

I have been using mp3 files, but will try WAV - it has always worked with mp3s previously.

now I change all the mp3 files into wav files. I use the freeware program XMedia Recode.
