scrubbing audio in timeline –Does it work in version 8?
It didn't seem to in version 7 even though some posts here said it would.
I'm running windows 2000, if that helps.

Hi,

Houdini 8.0.383 / Gentoo Linux running on a Dell Laptop.

Yes, it does. I just loaded & scrubbed this wav file:
http://wahiduddin.net/troubleshooting/testing.wav [wahiduddin.net]
(i searched google for a test .wav file and found this link)

I saved that testing.wav file to /tmp, and then pointed a FILE CHOP to it. Set the green flag on the FILE CHOP so you hear the audio. There's a new button down the bottom right of the Houdini Panel (the playbar) which pops up the Audio Panel. Select TimeLine in that panel. You'll even see the audio represented as a wave under the timeline, where you scrub. Nice. Scrubbing works. It helps to set the playback to “realtime” - another button down to the right of the playbar.

I know this is not a windows-2000 test. Would this be a reason to start using Linux? :-)

regards,
ben.

Just tried it in win2k and it was fine.

You might need to change the audio substain to 0….seems to work/sound better.
