In not sure where the notion of "impossible" started in this thread.
The question for RunRev is how important is it to provide the tools for
making a GarageBand while we still have annoyances like unusual
selection handle behaviors for line objects or the inability to reliably
use "answer file" on OS X (not to mention that GarageBand already exists
and is very well done).
IOW, GarageBand is great for what it does, but a severely disabled person couldn't use it alone. That's where totally custom manipulation of sound, graphical interfaces, and game/controller sprockets come into play.
Sounds very useful. When it comes to more specialized uses for QT, the answer is one word: Trevor. ;)
Trevor, I know you have nothing but time on your hands -- got anything in the hopper for managing this sort of thing?
I haven't looked at synching multiple sounds (isn't that was this started out as ;-) that much as I haven't needed it for projects I have worked on. Really this should be addressed outside of QuickTime in the future by the RunRev folks.
Depending on your needs I think you could create a handler in the EQT (as Scott Rossi affectionately refers to it) external that took a couple of different audio filenames as parameters and created a temporary movie that contained all of them. Then all of the audio files would share the same timeline and starting and stopping the movie would start everything in synch. I don't remember exactly what the original poster needed but this might be a solution.
