Synchronization, or sync is the matching of images with audio to improve the impact of both. It is a vital part of many YTMND, but what seems like a simple task can actually be quite difficult. The purpose of this guide is to not only instruct on the basic idea of sync, but to also share the tips and tricks that can only come with experience.
The Building Blocks
Any sync'ed YTMND will require the use of a gif, an mp3 and the Flash Preloader.
- The Gif
- This guide won't be covering gif creation (will link it when someone makes the page for it), but the MAXIMUM file size that you want your animated gif to be is 3mb.
- The Mp3
- The sound file has to be in mp3 format because the flash preloader does not yet recognize a wav. While this is disadvantageous due to the short pause the mp3 codec adds to the end of an mp3 file, we'll just have to live with it until Syncan wraps the the .wav support for the preloader.
- The Flash Previewer
- As easy to use as clicking a checkbox. Check the wiki for the previewer if you seem to be too retarded to handle that.
