Timeline Sound Problem

Post by Jus_Me »

When i imported my sound, It is longer than frame 72, But when i play it, Itll start off real slow, Makes the sound a low voice.
But when it reaches frame 72 in timeline, It resets back to frame 0 in timeline.
How can i make it play longer than frame 72?
And why is the sound so low, Not low as in cant hear, low as in Deep Voice.

72 is the default duration for new animations. To make your animation longer or shorter, select the File->Project Settings menu command and enter a new "End frame". Or, hold down the Alt key while you right-click on a frame in the timeline to set a new end frame.

As far as slow sound playback, you can find the answer here:

When exporting QuickTime, pretty much any sound format can be used. When exporting SWF, only MP3 files can be used. Unfortunately, Moho cannot play back MP3 files, so this gets a little messy...

You can create your animation using WAV files while working, and then switch to an MP3 file just before exporting your SWF file.

Thnx :P

I dont mind not hearing the MP3 in the timeline, As long as i can see it, I can get an idea when the mouth should open ect....

BTW, Thanx for the great software, I tried the competetors product TBS
And didnt like it, I been messing with MoHo 2 weeks and have already put small animations together with great results.
This is a powerfull yet fairly simple tool to use.I would recommend this program to anyone looking to get into 2D animation.
Its well worth the money 8)
