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.
:pray

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... :cry 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! :aok
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.

The more "sound" in an AHF file, the larger it gets. Not to mention it's not the best quality of sound to begin with.
You go putting a solid soundtrack through a vox record inside the film viewer, and your filesize will grow rapidly. On top of that you can't capture camera angles, external shots, and other things that normal editing provide, with the simple interface of the film viewer.
The end result just isn't worth it. Use FRAPs, capture the stuff you want, edit together, and put your soundtrack into that edited version.
AVI is a broad category. In general it's not as well compressed as more recent formats, but inside AVI you can choose a number of CODECs.
WMV9 is pretty decent. DivX and XviD are better (but more proprietary). MPEG1 is good, MPEG2 better, MPEG4 may be the best. These are all a mere fraction of the average generic AVI file.

Cannot afford Fraps... reckon I'll wait a decade for a better computer with a larger hard drive before trying this stuff.
:frown: :o

Isn't that kind of a brokeback way of doing things?

The demo version of Fraps is free and you can do quite nice job with it even with the limitations. It is definitely worth of a try. :aok

I use the free mode FRAPs. Matter of fact you can see the "fraps" at the top of the screen in one scene of my B-25 video on Youtube :D
(it slipped through my editing, whoops!)

How do you edit out the watermark krusty???

This is a wild guess:
Using video editing software, you cut off the upper portion of the video much the same as you do in Microsoft paint.
