Mimic???

I am ready to pull my hair out and scream....
In beta .204 I have installed the current version of Carrara Mimic, which is (according to the downloads page) C8_MimicPro_2.0.7.135_Mac64
When I run Create Lipsync, Carrara calculates and creates a new empty track. :long:
This worked in the previous version of the beta .172 (or possibly the one before .132)
Any ideas? I have everything configured, all the phonemes and gestures... Can anyone confirm Mimic working in .204 for Mac?
Comments
I'm on a mac OSX 10.6.8 . Cararra Mimic is working for me in version C8.5.0.204.
Ahh... Hmmm. Thank you for confirming it's just me... :down:
I think I may have installed the wrong version of Mimic... Where do I find this special 8.5 version? How do I know which is which?
HI Holly,.
They should be in your account under the Carrara 8.5 beta,. rather than under Mimic.
They should have a different version number,,
so as long as it's installed into the beta folder,. it shouldn't interfere with the existing mimic for Carrara.
Ahh-HAA! Yes it is a different version number... C8_MimicPro_2.0.8.176_Mac64
Thank you!!
No problem Holly :)
It had me confused too,. since I was looking under Mimic,. but nothing new there,..
under the beta,. eureka.
I'm still getting used to the way the new layout shows bundled products.
The two versions of Mimic are not interchangeable.
YAY! it works...
Are there limits to the bitrate or something that can prevent a file from processing? I have an AIFF that i recorded that will not process (Carrara says uh-uh), but other files work (and a .wav of the same audio works)....
there is definitely some limits
I cannot get most TTS exported wavs recognized as importable sound files (SAPI5 Microsoft Helen, Hazel, Heather and Haley are but not any SAPI4) yet Mimic pro and DS lipsync read them.
Another area where Carrara is less robust. >:(
Have you figured out a reason? I know some TTS voices are low-bit to make them work on phones.... It has to be a bitrate problem or similar...
Is there a "good" example to follow? CD-quality 44.1k sampling? (I think I was using 48k which is the video editing standard...
