Ok, good program a lil rough sailing... Cause, it's not what I'm used to.
My suggestions:
Allow us to preset marks before we synch...
In other words, I would like to preset what happens when the mark is layed,
before I lay down the synch marks. And when ever I click or type a key the
mark is layed with the preset actions...
The technique I'm familiar with is called a tap synch.
A recorder is turned on [say for the mouth actions] and when the
operator "taps" a button [mouse click or key press] the signal [mark]
is layed on the track [action scripted array / timeline].
Now, if you add presets can we have multiple???
Example:
For every press of M lay down a mark for mouth actions... [Makes mouth open.]
For every press of B lay down a mark for tail actions... [Makes tail wiggle.]
Thanks,
I don't think I have any more suggestions.

Didn't we have someone with a nice mouth synching program before?
Yes there was another mouth sync program. It did not use the sound's actual position but it did work nicely as I understand it. The biggest problem with that one is that there is nothing "holding" it in sync so if for example the audio was delayed you would loose sync.
Also this was an attempt to allow more than just lipsync. Many times I want an animation to start on a sound point. In the past I just hard coded it, but have long wanted something better.
I considered doing the sync they way you suggested and may look into that.
If you layout what you think it should look like I'll give it a go. I'm not a hard core programmer but the folks at Ibasic forum are very helpfull. (the program is written in Ibasic Pro http://pyxia.com)
Nice work Blanius. My suggestion would be to have an option to be able to create the entire code and copy it to the clip board. That would make a one shot paste for quicker use. Also, if you're looking to create a lipsync program with this, I could share my lipsync code with you? I've been thinking of making it freeware anyway.
Ooooh, I just realized a way to export to .as ...
[If you can perform a "find and replace text" with IBasic...]
So one could just click the "Append File Contents" button [open folder icon]
in KoolMoves' Action Script editor.
I may look into IBasic if my free time allows...
Ok this has been done. And the new ZIP has been uploaded to my site.
Try it out. It now has a copy to clipboard button that puts the entire AS code in the clipboard including the mp3 file name without path. Then just PASTE in KM Actionscript editor.
That's a pretty short source Bret , I'd expected it to be longer.
I haven't seen the LipSync source Joe created using PureBasic but there are quite a few language differences (I also have a PureBasic license). I'm sure Joe can tell you all about it.
I bought Ibasic when the developer was struggling and having a hard time putting food on the table. I bought it mostly to support his efforts, but it's turned out to be a great piece of software. Biggest limitation in my opinion is the visual form builder is pretty limited.
WOW 2323 lines no wonder you were charging for it If I'd spent that kind of time on it I'd want to get paid too..... Now I'mreally interested to see what you did, Curious about how much of that is due to the compiler.
Well here it is. Images, icon, and the help file. I even made a compiled executable for those who don't program. I got it down to 1978 lines after removing the registration stuff.
Oh, make sure you keep the image folder next to the source when compiling or you might get an error.
