Q: Retime video and audio in sync in Motion 5
I'm using Motion 5 to make videos in which clones of actors talk and interact with each other. The masking is no problem - that's all sussed. But unless the actor times the dialogue and reactions perfectly (which is just about impossible), then re-timing the two 'halves' of the dialogue occasionally so that responses and reactions occur at exactly the right moment is necessary.
So I can use the 'set speed' control on a section of a video track in the timeline to make the actor's visible reaction perfectly timed - but the audio doesn't re-time with it! I've tried everything I can think of, including trying to cut out bits of audio so that when the re-timed actor speaks again, it's back in sync, but I can't, it seems, split the audio track without also splitting the video track, which mucks up the retiming I already did!
I'm very much a raw beginner with Motion - but I only want to do this one thing with it! Any help?
