Adding Music to AH Films

[Odee]

Is there any way to Add music and dub in voices to AH films, using the Viewer/Editor? 

I know you can remove voices and Text, but can't find anything about dubbing in for making like Training films, or just mini-fight movies with a good soundtrack behind it.

You can add text by pressing /

No, you have to export the film to AVI (Or record it using fraps) and then edit it using software such as Windows Movie Maker. Then you can add music to the background.

Thanks to the both of you

Aww man...    Those AVI's just plain eat up space on the hard drive.  It seems like the file size quadruples.

Well, compress it within WMM. The finished product will be a lot less than the AVI.

Yes, the avi that the ah film viewer outputs are probably uncompressed.  Same kind of size difference as between raw .bmp screenshots and compressed JPG for web display.

Sweet! 

Thanks again for the tips guys.

Actually, you can dubb in voices.  In the film viewer click capture, put a check mark on voice, click start capture, the film will start playing and you just hold down T while talking through your mic.  When your done, click capture again, then click save film with captured data.

Sweet!  I can put my mic near the speakers and get the music that way.

Thanks

Your welcome, that will work but depending on your mic it may sound pretty bad.

Good Mic.  Great music...  Only problem is getting the wife and grand kids to shut up long enough to make the recording un-interrupted.

How did you figure this out?

Odee, get a male-male stereo jack cable and plug it into output and input at the back of your PC.  There's other easy and obvious ways to do it, but you have to know about specific software etc.  Either way, I'm pretty sure the voice-optimized encoder will reduce the quality of the music pretty bad.
