Audio Track For Animations

Audio Track For Animations

You guys are killing it with ARC X and probably, not looking for suggestions for additions. But, I'm going to anyways:)

Now that we have a graph editor, key frames and a timeline, it would be great to add a place to incorporate an mp3 or wave file/s. You could load and line up animations with audio playback. So lets say you have a robot with a human face and want to animate all the lips and jaw movement to a pre recorded audio for greeting customers. You could painstakingly line up the dialog then micro adjust the key frame animation to match the lips/mouth audio.

I think a generic feature that covers your use case and infinitely many others would be the ability to add scripts along the timeline.

@ Synthiam Support servo Animation Skill for ARCX.

@Dj thats is also a good idea. The reason for suggestion, the visible audio track allows someone to line up the waveform peaks with the servo animation perfectly. You can use the keyframes to super fine tune the sync between them. Not sure how you could do that from a script?

We have an audio editor for another robot skill. The way i architected ARCx is to be modular. so everything is built from user controls that we have in a giant library. it's easy to add things together like lego bricks.

Thanks - 5 years of development and planning:)

The crazy thing is, I don't know if anyone has had a chance to fully understand it's potential yet. It's quite insane. It will be my legacy that's for sure.
