I started working on Speedway Squads' Mission to Mars a while back, but it had the annoying issue that the riff audio slowly falls out of sync with the movie audio of the bluray. I've had the issue before with Total Recall and another one at some point. same lengths, same scenes, same everything as far as I can tell, but still the riff slowly gets more and more out of sync with the movie till by the end it is about 2-3 seconds off. I'm going to take another look at it, but been really busy with a project that is now past its deadline, so not much free time. If I can manage to get a day free I might see about getting Predator done in the hopes it doesn't have the same syncing issues.
The hardest part about syncing is getting everything lined up correctly. it is different for every riff and more often than not the sync lines in the text files aren't much better than general guides. You have to listen to jokes that directly reference something in the movie or jokes that align with a specific line in the movie and then balance the timing so they all feel right. that means syncing, watching, syncing, watching, syncing, watching, over and over till its right. the ducking itself isn't too bad, but the time it takes depends on whether you try to balance the two audios so the movie audio is still hearable (like rifftrax vods try to do) or if you just duck it to the floor like some syncers do. With iriffs, especially the older ones, finding the right version of the movie is turning out to be a frustration if you don't want to spend any money and you have to hope a torrent for the right version exists and still has seeds. really syncing isn't that hard, there is just a kinda steep learning curve at the beginning and it is simply time consuming to do as right as possible.
the number of iriff fans is growing, but you have to be patient. I've been a member of this community for years now and even if it seems slow I can safely say there have been more iriffs synced in the past year than there have been in the previous handful of years. people do this because they either enjoy it or they themselves want to have the sync, but if you push too hard then you're going to see them burn out real fast. in the end the more riff audios that are shared the more syncs there will be, it will just take time.
