How to export audio?

Post by sugarcub »

TVPaint 11 Pro
I can't find a button on the export panel to turn audio on, though I am setting it to AVI where it indicates that there is an audio codec. Can't seem to find a way to export with sound. Trying without looking for some button, there is no audio in the exports, not even in VLC in case it's a codec issue.

If I need TVPaint Converter, I don't know how to acquire it either.

Check this:
- the project has a soundtrasck (OK, that's obvious)
- the soundtrack is switched on
- sound in general is switched on (that little speaker icon next to the playback buttons)
- option "export sound" in the export panel checked.
TVP 10.0.18 and 11.0 MacPro Quadcore 3GHz 16GB OS 10.6.8 Quicktime 7.6.6
TVP 11.0 and 11.7 MacPro 12core 3GHz 32GB OS 10.11 Quicktime 10.7.3
TVP 11.7 Mac Mini M2pro 32GB OS 13.5

For point 2, I'm not sure how to proof check it.
On point 4, I am not getting any export sound options.

point 2
The switch of the soundtrack in the layerpanel, its also a speaker icon.
Although it should not make a difference for exporting the sound!
When i try exporting with the sound switched off i still get the soundtrack option in the export panel

Below is what the audio export option looks like:
(tickbox at the bottom of the export panel.)
Make sure you select a fileformat that can contain audio.
So it has to be a filetype like .AVI .MOV or .MP4

Point 2 Is good
Point 4- I literally just... don't even get the option. There's no tick box. I've just opened up an old file to see if maybe it is specific to my new tvpaint file, so i loaded one that definitely exported sound in the past. But I don't get the option to export sound on it at all. Aghhh this is so frustrating and I don't really know what else I can even do.

I thought I included a screenshot but I guess I forgot. This is what my export page looks like- I've included the tvpaint version info too.

For additional context, I was running a few year old version of TVPaint 11 until I decided to update- which broke tvpaint, and I had to update to dongleless.
