  How can I load music in PI ?

  Posted by Avidoom on May 11, 2005 at 11:15 pm

  Hi

  Im going to do an academic science video which is only particles, audio and text. So I need to load music to match some particles with the drum beats.

  Do I have to do an avi with black background and the music first, then load it into PI?

  Is there a better way?

  Thanks

  ps. Sorry for my english

  There’s no way to hear audio in pI. If you have an AVI with audio as a background, you can export the audio with the final render, but there’s no way to listen to it as you animate emitters.

  Your best bet is to whip up a dope sheet where you can mark off the beats in the music piece, and use that to time your animation in pI.

  Thank you Elvis,

  Always you are very helpful.

  Did you think that is a good idea to put an audio engine in a future version of PI?

  Soon PI for After Effects will be on the market. This should address the issue for some .
