Thanks for the reply Craig. I am running Maya 2012. I have not tried setting it to 24fps. I’ll have to see if that works. What I did since then is to playback from the UI in real time. I have a decent amount of RAM installed, so it saves a bit of time. I had to give up on the playblasting.

I know this is a really late reply … sorry I’m not sure how I missed this… did you try 24fps? Which version of Maya are you running?

Hi Craig,
It seems that I am having a problem similar to Tim’s post above. My UI playback is fine, but the playblast is off. When playblasting, it renders my entire animation first, then plays the audio afterwards. I took all of your suggestions, deleted the audio, re-imported, changed from .wav to .aif, real-time playback at my 30fps. The playblast options are set to default and it opens in quicktime 7. Im running on an iMac with osx snow leapord. 10.6.8

Tons of research brought me to your blog. I appreciate any help.

Awesome! I like how the Knight almost falls off the log in the beginning and also how he steps backwards through the swinging sickle without knowing it while having troubles with his helm. Did you ever make a game out of this?

I hope that you find my newer post to come as interesting.

Craig,
I’m an American currently living in Germany. I’m a photographer. Wanted to tell you I spent an hour just now, looking at your work. You are quite talented. Its rare in today’s necessary world of technology, to meet an artist with a still organic taste for shapes/light/structure/action, and still have the skill to make it digitally realistic & relative. Your use of color is perfect. Your CGI’s are awesome as well. I love the sketch of the twin men; they are twins, no? Anyway its great.
All the best to you — R

Wow, finally found someone whose advice works, a lifesaver.
Thanks!
All this coming after I had to re-install Maya as 2010 had a graph editor that was making invisible selections that would only show up when the window was minimised then maximised! — any thoughts as to why that happened? — My head has been fried for the last 5 days of wasted time, Grrrrrr. Now back to 11 sec feb comp only 4 days left and 3secs done aaaaah…

Check the sound file you are using and make sure something is not wrong with it at the source. If it is ok. Make sure you have your project set to the appropriate folder. Delete the sound file node for the sound file you are using and re-import by going to File Import instead of dragging. Right click on the time line and go to sound. Select the file there. As a last resort try converting the sound file to an .aiff if you are working on a MAC. Try some of these things out and then get back to me if it is still not working!

I’m having a problem. I drag my audio file in (.wav) to the timeline, but a green bar appears along the bottom of the timeline, rather than it showing the peaks etc. It makes no sound whatsoever as well. I checked my preferences and they seemed fine. I didn’t have a problem at Uni with this, and my Maya is just as up to date as theirs :/
