Title: Synchronizing Images with Audio Tracks
Post by: Omni on April 15, 2004, 06:54:10 pm

I've had a tiring day, and I'm feeling a bit lazy now, so no throwing stones at me for asking something that is probably common knowledge or perfectly explained in the help file. ;)  :P

Preferably in "Theater View" (a mode I have absolutely no experience[/u] with), is it possible to display a specific image along with each individual audio track?

In other words, ...

   While playing Track #1, display Image #1
   While playing Track #2, display Image #2
   ...
   While playing Track #N, display Image #N


I am not looking for step-by-step instructions necessarily.  I just want to know if this possible before I invest hours or days trying to figure it out on my own.

Thanks!

Okay, I have been messing with it for a bit now, and yes, I even broke down and launched the help system for guidance.  :P


I have concluded that synchronizing the image playback with the audio playback is not possible.  :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

I tried even meticulously ordering a single playlist with the images and audio tracks, but when all is said and done, the only way to get the images to change is to start a slideshow, and unfortunately, for a slideshow, the only timing control you have is a fixed time interval. :(


Please, someone tell me I overlooked something!  ;D

I would also like to see this feature implemented, along w/ some sort of automation to display all the images in the length of the playlist of music.

You could always use the cover art mechanism. This would make it a pain to change what images displayed with what tracks, and you couldn't have any kind of random rearrangement. Just use Vis Studio to create a vis with just the image displayed full screen.

I guess that's one solution, and any solution is better than no solution, right?  :)

Maybe this is something I (or we) can push for to be included in 10.1. <shrug>
