Sounds in 3DS Max

[lilwupster]

I remember they used to let you use their other products, if you listed what you used, but starting last year they discontinued this. (dunno why but I guess if you go purchase their software and make sure they know, they wouldn't mind as much).

Anyway, video post can be more useful than a 3rd party video editing program (such as premiere) for syncing up sounds. First of all, you can have each sound on a different track (most video editing programs might have a limit, whether it be 2 or 99). And also with video post, you set the actual frame that you want the audio to start and end. This way, when the cat opens its mouth to MEOW, instead of lining it up externally to the visual of the cat opening its mouth, you can line it up with the frame that you actually made the cat open its mouth. and so on.

As far as I'm aware, for the safety animation you can use other post processing programs, but not for AVA. Both of these processes work well and I suggest you look into both of them.
