Adding sound to poser animation?

Not sure where to put this, but I needed to do a video/animation that was due yesterday. My battery is right now low and I need to get to work. How do I add sound to an animation done in Poser? or do I need to render the images and make an animation in a different program to add the sound?

You can import soundtracks into Poser...
file - import - sound.png

...and once in, move it on the timeline, etc.

But if you have any sort of video/flash/gif editor, I would render frames, and then do the composite work in the video editor.

While you can import sound into Poser, I would actually recommend a different method. I use a Program called VirtualDub (I actually use one of the Modded versions that supports ACM and variable bitrate MP3). I often mix down my sound in an audio editing program of some sort (Cool Edit, Goldwave, Sonic Fire, etc...) and match the length exactly to the video clip duration. Now, the great thing about Virtuadub is it can work with compressed video like AVI (and depending on the version you use OGM, MKV, MP4) as well as sequential JPGs, and a number of audio formats including ACM, WAV, MP3, and a few others depending on version. So once you have an audio and video track that match it's just a matter of importing them into virtualdub and compressing them out.

Virtuadub can also add effects and chain sequences together and a whole lot more. If anyone wants I can dig up some links to the versions I would recommend and some guides?

How much is Virtuadub? if the price is right, sounds great, but if the price is not, then I cannot get it in time. (Right price is free, if you wanted to know)

Here's a version that supports Variable Bitrate MP3
VirtualDubMod - Browse Files at SourceForge.net
This has links to the current build, plus many useful add-ons
Virtualdub 1.10.4 / 1.10.5 test 7 Download - VideoHelp
and collections of plugins for different media types and codecs
fccHandler's page

and if I dig into my archives I can link you to a lot more cool items for Vdub, just might take me a while to find them.

I did not have one handy at the time of my last post as I have Virtual Dub and tons of filters and plugins in my master install archives so I rarely need to go look them up unless looking for new features or updates.

If you look, you'll see that I was actually talking about my own post, where I replied to AlphinaNovaStar's about the price of VirtualDub. I forgot to include the link.

I know this is an over 6 years old thread, but for the record I just wanted to recommend using a video editor if you want to add sound to animation. Right now one of the best free editors out there is DaVinci Resolve. There is also a paid version, but the free one is very fully featured. Takes a little bit of a learning curve but I found it pretty intuitive. Drop your animation on the timeline and add sound fx and music, then export the video.

The latest PC Pro magazine has four pages raving about Microsoft's free AI-powered Clipchamp. Requires a Microsoft account, and allowing the software to go online. Also a reasonable upload speed.

Really though, highly recommend giving Resolve a try. Ive spent so much time looking for good free editors and so many of them are janky as heck / a bit waste of your time to figure out / extra work / poor results. Resolve blows my mind and has no business being free while being this good. How I prefer it to Vegas. I do miss Premiere, but im not paying that ridiculous Adobe subscription fee. Resolve is on par with that anyway as well as (kind of intimidating to learn) it has fully feature color grading and compositing (similar to AfterEffects) and is well equipped to do professional sound editing too...but its not necessary for a lot of projects to go that far. (BUT IT CAN).

If you try it, a few things to note, where I got stuck ,y first time.
For editing, pay attention to the tabs on the bottom. There is a specific EDIT tab where you would do all of the main work. For some reason it defaulst to the CUT tab. not even sure what thats for. Looks almost the same but doesn't work that way.

Also note, for explring there is a 'Quick Export' button in the upper right with some popular presets (Youtube, H.264, TikTok, etc) but if you know what you're doing and want full control of the settings, on the tabs on the bottom, click the one that shows a Rocket (DELIVER)

Something nice too is it comes with custom keyboard shortcut presets that might make it easier for you if you're used to other software, but i personally like to stick to the defaults just to learn how it works. sometimes that is worth the time investment to learn. But there are options.


I'm not a master at this software, but if you try it and get stuff, and can't find answers on Google, feel free to ping me

We were recommending video editors, if you recall. So I recommended what appears to be the current best free video editor (AI enhanced). These things, when I last looked, enable one to add sound to exported Poser animation videos.
