Why can&#8217;t Maya just make a movie file?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are actually many advantages to <strong>not<\/strong> creating a movie right in the modeling app. If the rendering process is interrupted, you don&#8217;t lose a big movie file in mid-render. You can batch render in blocks of time that are feasible if rendered locally. And you can define exactly which frames you want to render if a timeline has more information on it than you want to render out. Anything that gives you finer grain control at the same time you <strong>save<\/strong> time is a great advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_the_Premier_project\"><\/span>Create the Premier project<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The Maya project folder is a self-contained ecosystem.

The interior one is the Safe Title Margin, and it helps to place title text so that if your work shows up on a non-HD screen, it will not be clipped.

But without sound, it seems a bit abstract. We can record a ball bounce, edit, and use the sound clip to drive our animation, a strategy that is more often the case. In this instance, the animation came first, so we needed to fit the sound into the animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Search_for_sound\"><\/span><a><\/a>Search for sound<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be very time-consuming to create our own sound file for something as simple as a ball bounce. It&#8217;s just as effective to find a sound that has the proper license to allow our use. So we&#8217;ll search for a Creative Commons-licensed sound file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, authors are looking for two kinds of sound: 1) a soundtrack or ambient noise that overlays the scene, or 2) in-the-scene sound effects, which are known as Foley sounds, named in honor of pioneering sound effects artist <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Foley_(filmmaking)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jack Foley<\/a>. Pretty clearly we are after some Foley sound. Where to begin?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Found Sound<\/strong>&nbsp;| Popular sites for found sound include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soundeffectsplus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SoundEffects+<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freesound.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Freesound<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/findsounds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FindSounds<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/search\/sounds?q%5Bcc_licensed%5D=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SoundCloud (CC search)<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Free Music Archive<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jamendo.com\/en\/search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jamendo<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/audio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Internet Archive<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We found our sound file <strong>Soccer ball kick.mp3<\/strong> using <strong>FindSounds<\/strong>, an audio file search engine; the file was in reality located at Universal Soundbank.

As we did with the video footage, we use\u00a0<strong>File > Import&#8230; <\/strong>to bring the asset into the Projects panel, and from there we will drag it into the Audio portion of the Timeline. We can&#8217;t simply and randomly place the sound, however.

As we observe these frames, we can create <strong>markers<\/strong> at each bounce. Markers are a special function located at the upper left of the Timeline panel, highlighted by the red circle in the illustration below. When you place the locator bar at the frame you wish to mark, click on the marker icon, and a green marker appears on that frame.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"352\" data-attachment-id=\"2997\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/concatenation\/12_concat_markers\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/12_concat_markers.png\" data-orig-size=\"1209,416\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"12_concat_markers\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/12_concat_markers-1024x352.png\" src=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/12_concat_markers-1024x352.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/12_concat_markers-1024x352.png 1024w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/12_concat_markers-300x103.png 300w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/12_concat_markers-768x264.png 768w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/12_concat_markers.png 1209w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>With the markers in place, you can now drag sound from <strong>Project<\/strong>\u00a0to <strong>Timeline<\/strong> audio track and align the bounce frame marker with the high point on the waveform that indicates the loud *pop* of a ball striking a surface.

Notice it sounds great at the beginning bounces, but it sounds awful at the end. We need to change the volume of the bounces to decrease as the bounce reduces in height. Select one of the final waveforms in an Audio track and go to the Effects Controls panel. Under Audio Effects, note the Volume, then Level, which is measured by decibels\u2014the default level is 0db but don&#8217;t be fooled into thinking that&#8217;s no sound. It&#8217;s a datum: it means the loudest level at which the sound is recorded, and we reduce the volume from there. We are not changing the <strong>Level<\/strong> dynamically, so look for the little stopwatch icon next to <strong>Level<\/strong> and deactivate it. If it is bright blue, it&#8217;s active, and if it&#8217;s gray, it&#8217;s inactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After experimenting with <strong>Level<\/strong> for a bit, we determined that the final four bounces should decrease by 10db with each bounce. The final bounce level is<strong> -40db<\/strong>, the next-to-last is <strong>-30db<\/strong>, and so on. Playing the Timeline now yields a satisfyingly real decrease in bounce sound intensity as the bounce degrades and stops.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"595\" data-attachment-id=\"3001\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/concatenation\/14_concat_audio_volulme\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/14_concat_audio_volulme.png\" data-orig-size=\"1679,976\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"14_concat_audio_volulme\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/14_concat_audio_volulme-1024x595.png\" src=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/14_concat_audio_volulme-1024x595.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/14_concat_audio_volulme-1024x595.png 1024w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/14_concat_audio_volulme-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/14_concat_audio_volulme-768x446.png 768w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/14_concat_audio_volulme-1536x893.png 1536w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/14_concat_audio_volulme.png 1679w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Credit_the_sound\"><\/span>Credit the sound<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We need to add a credit Title to cite the source of our CC-licensed sound.
