#AAStudio and Sound Sync?

Hi, I have some animations to which I need to add sound. The animations were originally produced using AAPro, but have have been converted to AVIs (MS RLE Codec) using Videdit. (I still have the original .FLCs). I've seen some comments here about how AAPro and AAStudio complement each other, comments on how powerful AAStudio is, and comments on how buggy it is. Does anyone have experience adding sound to 8 bit animation in AAStudio and saving or re-saving as an MS RLE compressed .AVI? Some of the marketing literature I've seen leads me to believe that it would be far easier than a product such as Premiere for sound-synching to pre-existing animation, and allow me to manipulate sound to video rather than the other way around. I'd appreciate any comments from users and Autodesk as well. Thanks very much, Steve

Steve, All marketing aside, synchronizing sounds to .FLC's is probably the easiest(and fastest) thing to do in Animator Studio's SoundLab module. SoundLab is stable and you can easily add or create sounds to match the action in your animations without ever having to touch the main paint package(although you'll want to<g>) The best thing is to see the software in action at your nearest Authorized Multimedia Dealer. Then you can decide for yourself. Jh

Steve, Jeremy's got more experience than I with the non-Autodesk products, so I have nothing really to add. I just noticed that no one else had commented however.
