Nudging sound track and/or video track

I shot a band in a recording studio. Their output was messed up.
I have the audio which was recorded separate from the video. How would I nudge the audio track on the timeline to eventually line it up with the video?
thanks in advance

You can move clips by frames on timeline by using the keyboard.
First select the clip you want to move, then hold down the option key and press either the left or right arrows.

I have an Apple TV, a sound system and a video projector. The videoprojector and the sound system are separated by 5 meters and I cannot have a wire. What would be the wireless possibilities?

Should I put the Apple TV next to the video proj and send the sound wirelessly to the sound system but how to do this from an optical output? Or I can put it next to the sound system and send wirelessly the HD video signal but I have not found a solution unde 100+$ and people seem to be complaining. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

It is pretty short so here is the entire text:
Symptoms
A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
Resolution
Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.

Sound quits and the video keeps going

When playing movies or TV episodes on the Apple TV 2 the sound will stop randomly, but the video keeps going. I will have to stop the video by going out to the menu and then resume the video to get the sound back.
Apple TV: v4.4.3
iTunes: v10.5.1

I found that this is only an issue with files that have bee purchased from iTunes. It is easily reproducable, as it happens in the same spots each time. You can also just rewind the video a little bit and the sound will start again.

Sound off and audio/video apps blocked

For a few days I have a very weird problem. After a few hours of using the computer (4-5, I leave it on when I go to work so I can stream my music), everything related to sound is dead.
For example, mpd dies without any errors written in the error log. If I try to restart it doesn't work. It just hangs with no errors. Also, if I try to open a flash video in any browser, the browser just hangs on with no errors. I even tried to open amarok from the shell and just hangs with no errors.
The problem disappears after I reboot the computer, so I think it's something related to the sound driver. I have a Creative Audigy SE card.
I'd like to be more explicit, but I don't know what and where to look for logs. Maybe next time it happens I'll put here some logs if someone gave me a hint.

Don't seem like a hardware failure to me (at least little probable). I'm experiencing the same problem.
As long as I can remember I've got this one at one point in the past too, but back then I haven't got much time to investigate and after some updates all have sorted out itself.
I also don't think it's a client problem since the hang happens with both mpc and sonata on my setup. Also mdp (runned as --verbose --no-daemon --stdout) says:
interface 0: process command "status"
interface 0: command returned 0
interface 0: process command "currentsong"
interface 0: command returned 0
interface 0: process command "play"
Bang! Nothing more at this point: no actions calls, no events, no more infos. Although after a couple of minutes or after killing mpd there's added:
interface 0: command returned 0
interface 1: opened from 192.168.0.3
interface 0: process command "status"

Bizarre? Yes! . Couriuos? Even more so!
Also I've found this bug on mpd's mantis: http://www.musicpd.org/mantis/view.php?id=1479. So it's cross-distro and cross-hardware since I've got:
00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AC97 Audio Controler (MCP) (rev a1)
and experienced it previously on some via and cmi. I hope someone will come with solution soon. I mean—it's getting bad on my listening addiction .
Oh! I forgot to mention that I've tried both specifying "device" and leaving it out in "audio_output".

Sound Channels and Live Video Feeds

Hello All,
I spent the better part of the afternoon researching this one
and have come up empty handed. The app I am designing displays two
live webcam streams from an FMS. What I want to do is control the
audio from each stream so that camera1's audio plays in the left
speaker only and camera2's audio plays in the right speaker only. I
know this is done via soundchannels and soundTransforms, but how do
you associate a soundChannel with the audio from a live webcam
stream? All of the documentation I have read illustrates how to
associate a soundChannel with a static mp3 file. ie:
[code]
sc = s.play();
[/code]
The following code is what I am working with thus far. All I
have been able to do is successfully control the volume with a
soundTransform, but I can't seem to do anything with pan and I
think it is because I am lacking the knowledge concern creating a
soundChannel to control a live webcam stream:
[code]
inStream1 = new NetStream(client_nc);
incomingVid1.attachNetStream(inStream1);
trans1 = new SoundTransform();
trans1.volume = .5;
trans1.pan = -1; //doesn't work
inStream1.soundTransform = trans1;
inStream1.play(video1);
inStream2 = new NetStream(client_nc);
incomingVid2.attachNetStream(inStream2);
trans2 = new SoundTransform();
trans2.volume = .5;
trans2.pan = 1; //doesn't work
inStream2.soundTransform = trans2;
inStream2.play(video2);
[/code]
Thank you for your time and energy!

Facebook and Youtube Video Setting Compression and Tools?

Hi Folks,
I'd like to start putting our Live band videos up on Facebook and YouTube, and I was wondering what the latest trends are in that direction.
I have the freebies MPEG Streamclip, ffmpegX, as well as some of the the older Macintosh products Final Cut Express HD 3.0, and iMovie 6.0.3, and also the Latest QuickTime Pro 7.6.4..
I know that there is a lot of information out there as well as misinformation, (or old information) and I was just wondering what the best ways to get the best compression setting, the best sounding audio and looking video up to these sites.
Thank You For Your Time,
Eric

in case, your source is HDef, I prefer a 1280x720/30fps/h264/max. 6MBit/sec conversion.. (=you can set FC/e or iMovie in the Export with Quicktime/Options) YT cares for approbiate download (=smaller for older computers) ..
I'm not familiar with FB .. me too old for such..

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,

I can't export my video which contains only photos, sound tracks nor play it in fullscreen iMovie it shuts down. And now my whole file won't open at all it'll open with nothing inside ??

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

Can I import and play just the sound track from a video?

I downloaded some video clips with sound and imported them as QT videos into i-tunes - no problem. But how can I now play just the sound track and import it into a music playlist so I can play it on my Ipod in the car? (Or if I put the video on my Ipod - it's a sound only one, not a video one - will it just play the sound track?)
Thanks

Without knowing anything about the nature of the video files you're talking about, all I can say is that if they contain audio, you can extract it. The process may not be lossless, unless you extract the audio and convert it to Apple Lossless, WAV or AIFF. If your iPod is an older one, you may be limited in the formats you can play.
For a simple way to extract the audio only, you can use the Streaming/Exporting Wizard in VLC. You can also, depending on the format of the source movie, export audio with Toast or even iMovie to formats compatible with iPods.

Editing Movie Video and Sound Tracks Program

Can I use imovie to make a movie by first making a soundtrack and then adding video clips to illustrate the sound track?

I want to make a movie using imovie 11.
I want to import still photos taken from the inet and import video clips of myself over the stills. I also want this movei to illustrate a soundtrack of my singing with a karaoke file.
Is this possible?
How would I get my voice singing with the itune song so my singing and the itune become one track?
Then could I use that soundtrack to build the movie, rather than start with video an add soundtrack?
This is an ambitions project.
HELP!

Hi
This is a No and Yes question.
No You can not add Audio first in any iMovie from iMovie'08 (version 7.0.x) and onwards. You need to use FinalCut Pro X to do this - Where it's rather straight forward.
Yes - it is a bit tedious but can be faked in iMovie - by first creating a Black .jpg photo. Add this to TimeLine in iMovie as many times (and at max duration) to reserve the time the movie will use. Then add Your Audo track. Then add Your photo and videosequences. There are a function in iMovie that let's You replace the original video with the one You want to insert - "Cutaway" - Then continue till all Black parts are replaced. Movie done !
But really - take a look at FinalCut where this is much easier.

Select an area of sound track and delete it without using the razor?

Is there a way to select an area of sound track and delete it without using the razor please?
Like drag and then cmd-delete or clear or something would seem intuitive?
Thanks Steve z denver

Set In and Out Points to define the region, then use the Lift command (Sequence>Lift). Note that the Lift command functions based on track targetting, so if the Video track is also targetted, the content will be removed there, too.

Creating (sharing) a video with a sound-track as .wmv file, no sound track. Any ideas?

I'm a new user, and I have imported a video file (created by PowerPoint, and a sound-track (created by Cubase software from Steinberg.
When I view the video within Premiere Elements it's all there - video and audio both. However, when I try to create an external .wmv file (Publish+Share), I don't get any audio.
Set up is Windows PC running Windows XP SP3, with 4 GB of RAM, and 500 GByte hard drive. Premiere Elements version is 11.0
What I'm doing:
I imported the input video file and dropped it on the main Video1 timeline. Then I dropped the finished sound-track on Audio 1. When I click Play, I hear the sound-track and see the video. To Publish+Share, I select Computer from the drop-down menu. Then, in the location and settings list I select Windows Media.I choose 720*480 pixels, 4:3 aspect ration and 29.97 frames per second. In the Advanced.. panel, I make certain that Export Video and Export Audio are both checked. Ther dialog box reports that it will create a 174 MByte file, with 440 kbps/ 96 kHz audio in a 2-channel configuration.
So I click Save, and the program hems and haws for about 34 minutes, and says it's done. All I get is the video - in a 16.414 MByte file (the original input file, also .wmv was only 9.1 MBytes), so something must have happened. However, all I get is video, and no sound-track.
I'm totally convinced that the problem lies between my ears, but I'd like to hear someone provide some guidance. I've missed the deadline for an important project, and I don't want to slip any further :-(

Let us back track through the details.
Premiere Elements 11 on Windows XP 32 bit.
What are the video compression and file extension of the file created in PowerPoint? What version PowerPoint? What is the frame size and frame rate?
What are the audio compression and file extension (mp3 or .wav) of the audio created with this Cubase software? Are you dealing with mono, stereo, or 5.1 channel?
From your description, it sounds like you are letting version 11 set the project preset for you. What is it setting? We can find that out from the reading under Edit Menu/Project Settings/General - Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio, even if the fields appear to be grayed out.
If you import your .wmv export back into the Premiere Elements project, do you see content in both the video and audio tracks? If so, do both play back when you press the play button of the Edit area monitor?
Have you checked Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and ASIO and have you checked out your audio in the Edit area with the Audio Meter opened to verify sound level? See Window Menu/Audio Meters.
Is the problem confined to this PowerPoint video and Cubase audio? What happens if you try this with a video from your camera and soundtrack from one of the SmartSound soundtracks?
Please review the above and then let us know the answers to the questions.
Thank you.

Slow video playback with 2 sound tracks

Hi,
I've just been playing around with quicktime files with 2 sound tracks with different languages. When I copy these files to the ipod they playback, but in slow motion. Are there any guidelines for making ipod compatible 2 sound track files?
I know there are movies in the itunes store with two sound tracks with different languages and these are supposed to work OK with the ipod nano.
Any experiences? Thanks,
Robintosh

What software are you using to convert the videos to iPod format?
If you are using Quicktime Pro, or iTunes 6 to do the conversion... then that is most likely where your problem lies.
Your source video file is probably muxed.
Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
Try MPEG Streamclip.

How to put and burn two diaporama WITH DIFFÉRENT SOUND TRACK on one D,V,D

I HAD A BIG PROBLEM! I HAVE MADE TWO chapters DIAPORAMA OF a band realated the history of the band. and i want to put them one one DVD .tHEY HAVE DIFÉRENT SOUND TRACK.
My problem, is when i burn the Dvd only one show ? I use 1 video line and sound track and the second chapter on the video 2 and soundtrack 2 .It d'int make a différence .What did i do WRONG ?

towline
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
Lots of possibilities.
What do you mean "My problem, is when I burn the DVD only One Show"? Are you saying that instead of having two separate slideshows in DVD-VIDEO, you
have the two running together as one slideshow?
What menu markers (Chapter markers) are using - scene markers? Are there stop markers?
How are your menu menu and scene menu set up?
One scenario
Timeline content set up....
Slideshow 1 with a scene marker at its beginning and a stop marker at its end
a few seconds gap
Slideshow 2 with a scene marker at its beginning and NO STOP MARKER AT ITS END.
(I put that in capital letters because putting a stop marker at the end of the last item of the Timeline 99.99999% of the time creates project failure.)
With this setup, the viewer is greeted by the main menu and selects from Play Movie or Scene Selection.
a. If Scene Selection is selected, the viewer is taken to the Scene Selection page where he/she picks a slideshow to watch.
Important: If the viewer pick Slideshow 1, Slideshow 1 is played and then it reverts back to the main menu.
b. In this type of scenario, the Play All Button on the main menu becomes meaningless, since selecting it will play only up to the
stop marker ( end of Slideshow 1) and then revert back to the main menu.
Alternately, you could create a main menu with the Slideshow 1 or Slideshow 1 choice (use main menu markers) and do away with the
scene menu. That sounds abstract as written but I can give you how to on that and give you examples.
First let us see if anything that I have written above has anything to do with what you really asked.
Thanks. Clarification always available.
