VaM 1.x How to make music animation?

[LanceJ]

Hello guys, i want to create some dance animation but i don't know how to sync the animation with the music, can you guys show the way?

If you're creating a Timeline animation you'd probably start by going to the Targets screen and use "Add triggers track" to add an audio track. With that you'll be able to hear the music scrubbing in conjunction with the animation. There's also an option for using "Audio Link" though I've never had to use it, and there's the "Time mode" setting on the Options screen which should be fine with the default setting.

Here's a link for more detailed information:

Another thing you'll probably want to do is set the animation's length to the same duration as the music. To get it as close as possible you can change the "Snap" value on the Options screen to the smallest amount. After setting the length you can change the "Snap" value back to the default or whatever you want.

I have a video scrubber I made some time ago saved as a sub subscene. Just change the timeline to match the same seconds as the video and you can scrub through using the slider. Can't remember how well it worked but it worked. I think sometime after I saw and actual plugin made by someone that worked better, not sure, could have imagined that.
