Hi, I need some help please;
My friend has a lecture about his project,
he wants me a special kind of presentation for himself,
and gave me 200 sentences with 200 mp3 that he has read those sentences with his sound before.
I want to have 200 videos with showing each sentence with a simple movement, with playing it's sounds(mp3) along it,
of course these are must be sync: text and sounds
It is very difficult for building it in manual mode and needs long time;
I know that with BT I can have dynamic materials and export them to videos but how can I say it the duration of each show Is just the time of each mp3?
and How can I sure each word in text is sync with word in sounds?
I think what your friends wants is called kinetic typography. The link has an example and there are hundreds more on youtube.
This type of thing takes a lot, and I mean a lot, of patience. Most of the ones you see on YT are done with Adobe After Effects, one layer at a time. I suppose it might be possible to do it with BT but I think it would take eben longer.
I don't know of any shortcuts to doing this. 200 sentences sounds like a big project.

after some searching I found I can do my project with some programming and writing BT scripts myself, but I dont know the purpose of each of these parameters in BT script, I think I must know every lines and create those by myself,
Anybody can help me to finding what are these:
