I closed the folder the video is in and ti worked which is odd as I’ve never had that issue before, thanks for the suggestion

My drivers are up to date plus this is the only file i have this issue, R16 opened it with no issue but now im using R23

Does anyone know why my models are being displayed like this the second image was rendered using the same file this si a file ive used many times and have never had this happen

having an issue with the sound effector in R23 In R16 there was a start offset option below where you uploaded the audio file i cant find that option anymore so i cant tell the sound effector when i want to start playing

I am using the sound effector to make lights flash in sync with a voice clip

I decided to upgrade to R23 and now have a new problem with the sound effector in R16 there was a start offset option below where you uploaded the audio file i cant find that option anymore so i cant tell the sound effector when i want to start playing

Ok, thank you

R16 sorry forgot to add that

I am working on an animation where i use audio to make a characters lights flash using a sound effector but then to have the audio in sync with the animation in the editor i have to add the same audio into the animation timeline

is there a way for me to skip having to add the audio a second time

Edit: I’m using version R16
