The software facilitates audio synchronization and sound visualization creation for Director developers. Animations and audio can be synchronized smoothly in the application. It is a powerful tool for audiovisual production.
The Xtra sends a continuous stream of amplitude values to Director while a sound is playing. It is compatible with internal sound cast members, including SWA and MP3, as well as externally linked AIF, WAVE, MP3, and SWA files. In addition, it works with Director 7, 8, 8.5, MX, and MX2004 (including 10.1) and is cross-platform, running on MacOS 8/9, Mac OS X, and Windows.
The Amplitude Xtra is safe for use with Shockwave and works with streaming Shockwave audio. It has several key features that make it stand out: it allows sprite animations and properties to be synchronized to sounds in Director, draw sound waveforms in real-time using Director sprites at any resolution, achieve lip-sync between animated characters and spoken dialogue, change inks and blend properties in time with sound and music, and create sound visualizations based on amplitude intensity using Imaging Lingo or Shockwave 3D.
To use the Amplitude Xtra, you will need Macromedia Director 8 to MX 2004. This software is a must-have for those looking to add an extra dimension to their Director movies by harnessing the power of sound amplitude data.
