carol.gimp.org GIMP 2.2 GIMP Animation Plug-in:Sound Replacement

When you extract an avi with a "sound track" the gap extraction produces a WAV file. I know that this WAV file contains very little noise, maybe some chatter in the background, maybe me breathing.

The original WAV file would be useless without some sort of editing since I added a few more seconds of video. Better to ditch the original and borrow something nice for it.

I have a nice little ogg file of a bird song from tigert. The ogg is 42 seconds long and the movie is 28 seconds long.

This section is not so much how to use gap, more how I quickly edited the file and made everything ready for encoding.

Snip a WAV file I was able to get audacity quickly from debian and I am glad to report that I was able to just open this software up, load the file, find the section I wanted and make that big enough to fit my movie, snip that away and resave it as a WAV file. I was careful with the name of the WAV file; I don't think I needed to be, the encoder was not that picky.

WAV is easy

I did everything possible to make this difficult. I even changed the original ogg into a WAV file first and I do not think I even needed to do this.

I do not even have the sound working on my computer yet. No one was more surprised than me when the audio editing and the re-encoding worked out so well.
