I've done a search for Trax audio, and can't find anybody who's had this issue...

I've got multiple audio clips in trax, and they work fine for lip sync etc... but when it come to playblasting it doesn't come through. If I switch the audio, from trax to one of the audio wav files, it works fine.... but I can only have one at a time.

I even tried writing a script that changes the audio over when it hits a certain frame, but to no avail... the script worked... but the playblast didn't record the 2nd audio clip, just the 1st.

Any ideas on the situation would be awesome.

Thanks.
Carl.

Hmmm, I just checked this out...it seems fairly pointless to have the ability to import and move multiple audio clips around the trax if you:

1/ can't export the audio
2/ can't mix the audio down to one track
3/ can't playblast more than one audio clip

and I get intermittent playback on the audio clips - sometimes they work, sometimes I get nothing.

We've ended up using premiere to output the audio into 1 wav file and reimporting it back into Maya.

If anyone has faster, better way than this.... please hit me up...

It's insane that Maya doesn't have a multiple chanel audio clips output for playblasting.
