I record some voice narration real early in the morning, like 3 - 5 AM when the noise level of my complex and the busy road out my window have this not as noisy timeout for a couple of hours when the bars are closed and not many have left for work yet.

I know how to post mix fix audio levels, but saving one step in this all has to be done by me process is always a good thing, does IClone have any volume levels. I haven't tried switching out audio files; if I do not lose the vesemes that I set than I can just upload it again.

Thanks

I actually record in another audio editor rather than via the Record Script.

To be the dumb person in the room as usual, can you explain the acronym NLE? 

For some stupid reason I feel like reading the manual is akin to looking at the answers to a crossword puzzle.

Thanks, I will stick to my audio outside of IClone and place holders like you suggested and I have been doing.

I just thought I was adding 20 minutes to 30 seconds of animation that already takes (me) 2 hours.

NLE  - Non-linear Editor, which is a fancy name for a video editor.

Non-linear stems from the fact the clips that you use to compose your final video are manipulated without changing the original because everything is by reference.

I use Vegas Pro, but there are others such as Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro (for the Mac), etc.

I use Movavi due to the price is pretty cheap and it renders really fast compared to some others I have used, and it was under $100.

I purchased Hit Film, but I couldn't read the menus and they didn't have a font selector so I got my money back.

Thanks for the acronym explanation.

RAG DOLL COLLISION ANIMATIONS FOR ICLONE 8 & 7

Ghost Origins

My latest Feature length film created with Iclone.

My IMDB listing

It is funny even though I read the answer to this post yesterday, 12 seconds before this email arrived informing of this post I still was kind of wondering what non-linear meant, and not a minute later I was answered.

So Universe, since today is my day, I need the lottery numbers, a cure for cancer, and a way to financially lift the poorest half of our planet (3.5 billion people) out of poverty without the richest half stealing it from them like usual.

--
I am aware movies are filmed where all the scenes in one set might be filmed together or if a movie has a few scenes in another location somewhere else you don't have to travel there 3 times to film just because the movie does.

There are a bunch of video / audio editing features that would make IClone better if they had them, but IClone is complicated enough software, as we are almost at 6 months since the last update already.

Thanks for the explanation. I wish I didn't have to "go" to work so I could spend more time on animation and other fun stuff.
I work from home so I shouldn't complain, but it still isn't the same as working on your own dreams.

It's sort of funny... I tend to (usually) include a brief definition of NLE (a.k.a. "video editing software") when I use the term.  The time I don't, I should have.  Yeah, life is funny that way.

About the term, NLE, even if you're cutting actual film, you could physically splice any film bits in any sequence, so you'd still be working in an NLE mode, wouldn't you?  Many years ago I worked with a professional video producer on a short project, and it was based on video tape (professional grade stuff), but we still copied and re-sequenced a lot of our footage.

So I'm left with the question, unless you do NO editing, and only film in-sequence with your camera, which is not editing, when would you be doing "Linear editing?"

(Sorry if i'm getting too off-topic.)

I still remember seeing the making of the Wolf Man from the 40's where they would change his make up as the character walked behind building columns to make him transform from a human to a wolf man "before" our very eyes.

Movie houses used to have to splice in previews and ads and that is why sometimes they would come into a theater with boat loads of free passes because a movie got spliced one too many times.

I don't think I would have made it in a non-digital world.
