hello Jeff, sorry for the delay with which I answer you: I have been busy on another project.
I can not send you the .AIF file because it belongs to my client and I can not spread it.
With the microphone I have no problems, but I work with recorded files in the studio.

The project's name is:

PCAnimator_LwM_DU1_SNACK_02.chproj

project is actually located in G://

(C is a SSD HD In which there are only software)

I Have an other questions:

- can you animate a four-legged character? I tried but the program only recognizes two legs ...

- can you move the character on a scene by setting key points, such as on the Premiere timeline? I tried with the keyboard arrows and set a control with the mouse, but the final output did not convince me: it is not a fluid movement. Any suggestion?

thanks,

Ardoq

Hi Ardoq,

Is the .aif file a mono or stereo file?

Is the .wav file that it was based on import and show the waveform more reliably?

Does resizing the audio track vertically in the Timeline panel make it appear after a certain point?

As for your other questions:

-- regarding a four-legged character, does this video help? Character Animator Tips & Tricks (June 2017) - YouTube

-- regarding moving a character by keyframes, you could arm the Transform behavior’s Position X value and record changing it… or you could record the Transform Position X parameter at the end position, then use the blend curve for the take to blend it from a starting position. We know that more standard keyframe support is a requested feature, though.

Hope that helps a little.

Hi Jeff,

i work on:

- Windows 64 bit

- Intel i7-3630QM CPU 2,4 GHz

- RAM 16 Gb

VIDEO:

- intel HD Graphics 4000

-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670MX

This is my second project and the first time a see this kind of problem.

On my first project all goes well, (file audio .aif)

Nice animation.

I didn't see a link to the .aif file. Attachments to replies via e-mail might not work, so a shared link via Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. might be needed.

In the mean time, if you record audio via microphone, do you see a waveform for that?

Also, what's the full path of the Character Animator project (.chproj file)? Are there any accented or special characters in the file path? Would creating a new project in a different location, such as C:\temp\My Project make a difference?

Hallo Jeff,

- the audio file is 2 minutes and 28 seconds long,

- the audi file is .aif format (previous .wav, edited with Adobe Audition last releese)

- The audio file and every project files are located on my desktop

- To see the audio wave I must zoom and resize the time-line, but, after a litle the timeline autoresize to previous dimension and Audio wave disappear.

thank you for your interest
