Sound effects...

I've made around 15 seconds of hand drawn animation (also using a couple of 'tweens' on slow moving objects such as clouds) and so I thought I'd stop for a second to think about applying sound effects.

As far as I can tell, if I wish a sound to overlap into multiple scenes then the scenes in question will have to sit on the same time line rather than on individual scene tabs. That is certainly something to consider when applying ambient sound effects to scenes.

I'm very fortunate to have access to a large sound library that comes as part of a package with some music recording software that I've used for many years so for the most part I shouldn't have to record my own sounds but if I do then Mixcraft will make that easy.

I found a video on youtube that shows how to add audio files to flash files so this will be helpful to keep on the blog to refer back to as and when necessary.

It's pretty basic but that's what I need at this level.

I think once it comes to more complicated sounds that have to be synced with movements then I'll need some additional help but for now this tutorial will help me with my title scene and again once I have to apply an entire audio track.
