Hi. i’m fairly new to animation, and lately i’ve studied 3-d animation, but i’m more interested in 2-d animation.
As I am poor and have grown fond of pencil2d, I wish to continue to animate in pencil for the future. I was on a very strict time budget for that animation unfortunately. the lip syncing and such was a bit difficult since the computer I was using lagged a bit, not sure if it was the system or the program itself. I’m also a bit new to programming as well. and i’ll take my bet with the system being slow.
…All joking aside, I haven’t actually tried doing audio with the recent builds of Pencil, but last I knew, it didn’t have streaming audio where you could play the audio at any frame of your animation. Has this type of functionality been discussed on the forum yet?
@connors We still don’t. Lol. I mean the software has the technical capability to do it, but it was disabled in recent versions meanwhile we’re looking into binding a proper video & audio library for Pencil2D to become more powerful and allow you to import & export movies. In the download version for Windows (0.5.4b) you still can hack sound to work with the previous library though.
Since you’ve been out for a while we now have a FAQ and a Tutorials Page which you can visit here respectively:
Thanks for the help! I tried the Qt sound plugin with version 0.5.4b and it’s a useful feature although imperfect… I’m excited to see what you’ve done with newer versions.
