Hii, this is a super cool tool, but it seems to be lagging with the audio.

It's a little hard to explain for me, but for example whenever I start an animation (and thus the audio) it repeats itself like 5 times before finally starting.

Or even just when clicking onto a different frame it starts and lags the audio track like 3-5 times before shutting up. 

Would love your help and I can definitely keep communicating if this doesnt explain anything :)

Also exporting seems to work with none of these issues, so that's all good!

Hello! The clicking lag happens because – to my knowledge – there’s no way to detect if the timeline is playing or not, so AAE has to look at the frame index and figure stuff based off that. When the frame changes, it believes for a split second that the animation is now playing, so it plays the audio.

As for the other lag, does that desync the audio? Please send a video if possible! I apologize!!! I couldn’t see the video on mobile!

Hello again! I apologize for the previous response! I wrote it on mobile and it’s possible I missed the video.

This seems like an issue with the framerate being too low / frame durations too high. This makes AAE stutter far more because it can’t determine when frames change with much precision. Decreasing the frame durations and simply extending the frames should address this.
