why tv show all has the re recorded dialogue?
because it uses ADR automated dialogue in order improve sound quality. ADR is also used for editing in between scene so the dialogue can be seamless in sound between cut of a short scene in tv show. 2404:8000:1027:85F6:DDD6:E279:3EAC:4E8C (talk) 11:29, 12 October 2022 (UTC)


 * You appear to have answered your own question. The relevant article is Automated dialogue replacement. Do you have any further questions? Shantavira|feed me 14:08, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * yes!
 * i think in many tv episodes, while character talking the scene cut itself to the pov thus interrupting the lip movement. so the automated dialogue replacement can reinforce this mistake. 103.195.58.112 (talk) 02:02, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That's not a question. That's just a statement. Do you have any actual questions or are you just here to give us facts? ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 02:03, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Why in a tv series whenever character talks in certain occasion, the scene cut itself to the another view. 2404:8000:1027:85F6:F44A:BF5:606B:B925 (talk) 11:37, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Because what the director wants you to see and what they want you to hear may be different things. Matt Deres (talk) 12:25, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Why the lipsync sometimes off during the talking of character during scene in a tv episode? 2404:8000:1027:85F6:F44A:BF5:606B:B925 (talk) 12:48, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Depends. Sometimes the animation wasn't actually animated for an English dub (like with the Pokemon anime). Sometimes it's simply much easier not to perfectly lip sync it. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 13:25, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * i mean the live action tv show not just animation. where after the shooting session is finished all actors are obgliged to re record their audio. and then who is someone invented this feature consist of actor re record their dialogue from start over? 2404:8000:1027:85F6:1C01:2FEE:50C6:1B90 (talk) 01:07, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If lip synching is poor it's more likely to be something to do with your audio settings. I had this problem and solved it by altering the Dolby settings, though I no longer remember exactly what I did. Shantavira|feed me 09:56, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * i don't that there are many scenes that character talking mouth moving is interrupted by changing cut scene which is so fast and can perform itself within a split second.
 * Why editors may have arrange the re recorded dialogue for each spliced footage? 2404:8000:1027:85F6:1D11:CD58:CD9A:405B (talk) 14:03, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Gmail hack today?
Sorry for asking here, but Gmail online help isn't out here. For the last hour, I've been unable to sign into my Gmail for "We’re sorry, but your account is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and suggest trying again in a few minutes. You can view the Google Workspace Status Dashboard for the current status of the service. Technical error: Numeric Code: 4" The URL it shows is "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/"

I've tried emailing myself from my Yahoo email, but still can't get into GMail. I see nothing in the news. Has there been a wide Gmail hack today? — Maile (talk) 19:36, 12 October 2022 (UTC)


 * For the record, should anyone be curious, it was a Windows10 update screw up. I am currently on Windows 11, and have no problem accessing my Gmail. I guess by tomorrow we might have another Windows 10 update. — Maile  (talk) 21:13, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Good to hear this was resolved. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 22:49, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

NoScript problem
The issue was NoScript, which is not allowed on Chrome. So when I open my GMail on Chrome, I'm fine. My issue with Chrome is that the Wikipedia edit window text is too teeny to see. I'd like to remove NoScript from Firefox, but am concerned that Firefox edit window will then have the teeny type face. I wonder if there is something in mycommon.js that causes this. Please advise. — Maile (talk) 11:09, 13 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I copied over User:Maile66/common.js to a subpage of mine and didn't see a difference in the edit window. --Lambiam 14:42, 13 October 2022 (UTC)


 * What browser and Windows version are you using? — Maile (talk) 15:30, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Firefox on macOS. --Lambiam 09:19, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm Firefox on Windows 10. Immediately following a Windows 10 update, my email became inaccessible on Firefox. — Maile (talk) 16:09, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Solution was simple, once I did a Google search. Hold the Shift key, while doing a reload of the page. It worked. Thanks for your time. — Maile (talk) 16:55, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
