To ensure synchronized playback of audio and video, please follow this instruction:


Add the Playing property of the audio object on frame 0 and set its value to 1. This will start the audio as soon as the timeline is played in the Playlist Tool, and make sure it will be synced to the right time. 


Now, do not add any more keyframes for the Playing property, since changing this property on any other frame is not guaranteed to work when playing back the timeline.


In effect you need to make sure your audio file is synchronized with the start of the timeline. This should not be done inside Producer, rather in any audio editing software you use for producing the audio.



If you are exporting a previously created timeline to the new xtimeline format, you may need to change it as follows to ensure that it plays back correctly:


  1. Review all audio files used by the timeline. If they are supposed to start playing halfway into the timeline, bring them into your audio editing software and instead add silence to the beginning of these files.
    Optionally, you might want to consider merging multiple audio files into a single audio track at this point.

  2. Remove all occurences of the Playing property for all audio objects, leaving only those on frame 0.

I am still having major audio issues on every timeline I have.  I have removed all key frames so that the audio can just run through, the only key frame I have is at the end to stop the audio completely.  If for any reason a timeline is stopped in the middle the audio will keep playing in the background, I won't hear it but when I press play again it is out of sync.  This effects the timeline the next time it is played the audio will not line up.  There are times, at the beginning of the show, when it starts at the wrong place as well, even though there is no offset.  I am also having a problem when I add new audio containers.  As soon as I enable the "Playing" property the audio starts to play but the timeline itself is not.  I have no clue what's wrong!  Thanks for the help.
