I made a 30 second talk animation in poser7 with an attached wav file. Imported it into Vue7 inf sceene and rendered. Looks great but I lost the sound, no speach.

Vue doesn't do sound, you'll have to use a sound/video editor for this.

Well that's a good solid answer. Too bad for me as that's one more program to lean and purchase. Let's see this last 12 months that was:
Poser 7, Bryce6, Vue7 and PhotoshopCS4E plus Daz Studio, and Vue6PLE

AND have but HAVEN'T learned
Gimp, Blender, trueSpace7.6 PainterX

And now you have the opensource Audacity sound editor to add!

There you go. I was afraid I had made a foolish error getting only PhotoshopCS4E and not the whole suite. But if there is an open source tool that's easy to use I will gladly try it (tonight).

Thank you for your responses to date you have been very helpfull. I looked up Audacity and I don't see how it would be of use. I have the wav file I used for the charachter lipsync animation still. I just now have silence rendered nicely). I know a tool like microsoft movie maker can add audio back in but destroy my nicly un-jaggy un-compressed video. What did you have in mind?

I looked at its functionalities, and you can import wma footage to sync with audio. Now I don't know if you can resave a movie with sound out of it.
I remember when I was using Soundforge (very expensive audio software), you could import video footage, and synch sound to it, and export to a video format. Thought Audacity could do the same, but I'm really not sure.
