Hello people

Im in a bit of trouble. I need to put sound to a 10sec video clip using puredata but i have no clue if I import the vid into pure data or just create the audio using pd and then sync it to the vid using a different app.

Any help will be much appreciated

I've got an audio video box thing I made using GEM, I'll post it up when I get home.

In the meantime, you should look at the GEM objects like [pix_film].
You won't get sound out of [pix_film] just the video, so you have to:

1. load the sound separately into an array (or table)
   (use [tabplay~] to play the sound).

2. load up the video into [pix_film] (read the help patch)
   don't use auto 1 to play it, you can use a metro to increment the frames
   (e.g. use [metro 33] for a video running at 30 frames a sec)

3. bang the metro and the tabplay at the same time

That's the simplest way...it's a bit more advanced to synch the audio and video so that you can scrub them both at the same time...but it's definitely possible.

many thanks for that man!

what does this mean

error: pix_filmDarwin: no method for 'bang'

Ive followed all the help from {pix_film}

cool cool i got it to play the video........nice one Kai. I appreciate your time.

its a pretty simple patch to open a gem window (video screen) load a .mov file and play it in a loop but if anyone needs it just ask.

Chenzo, I tried this loop method of playack but also got the no method for 'bang' error and it no longer renders the film at the gemwin framerate of 25 fps at all except for the first frame. The loop method of play is particularly important to me as I would eventually like to use it to trigger sound at certain frames. It would be good to check how much the sound and image go in sync and I will try this out with test footage. If you could post your patch up it would give me a fantastic headstart.
My misfiring non-playing patch is :

Meanwhile as an obvious newbie I shall press on. The crunch will come if I can string high-res clips together seamlesssly and keep it in sync.
