Sound Object-Version 12

[goddi]

Greetings,

I am trying out the new 'Sound Object'. I put in a 'Bells Only' sound clip.

And then I set the Start Time to be at 12 seconds.

However, it does not play the sound at all. Also, when viewing in the Timeline, I don't see the wave form to make any audio level adjustments.

What am I doing wrong???

(Beta 3) Ok... I just set only the Offset to 12 seconds and it played at 12 seconds. Good. I was also setting the Start Time to 12 seconds but that did not work.

But...the sound does not appear in the Timeline for any adjustments. Should it?

Gary,

Glad that you found a reason with the issue with a wrong offset.

Currently Sound objects are not displayed in the timeline of the editor as waveforms. Probably in future version.
The main idea of a new Sound object is to play short sound effects (1-3 seconds). Examples included in the Sound Library which appeared in Beta 3.

Ok...But what is the 'Start Time' used for? If the 'Offset' is the time where the 'Sound Object' starts, I'm not sure what the 'Start Time' is used for.

I hope this dedicated timeline will appear in v12, as it is really necessary if we want to use this feature.

Igor, would it be possible to add sounds from my collection to this library?
I'd like to add bird sounds, (female/male) laughter, alarm clocks, ticking clocks, kissing sounds, typewriter sounds (would be great for text animation), drops of water, streams, gunshots, sea waves, and more. And of course, I'd like to see a sound waveform so I can see the beginning and end of the sound, its peak and trough.
Thanks for such an interesting new feature in the new version.
