Recording Video and Audio at Same time with simultaneous sync

I want to record a keyboard performance into garageband and at the same time record the playing of that performance with my video camera. Then I want to create a movie using the music from garageband and the video from the camera. I was thinking that if I can sync the video and audio when I'm recording the session, then that part is taken care of. Or, maybe this is easier than I think it is?
Is there a way to do this so that I can use the garageband record performance and have it synced to the video on the camera?
I don't want to use the audio from the video camera because the performance that is captured in Garageband will be much better and I can do editing of the individual notes in GB.
In the end, I just want to make a movie and/or podcast of the performance.
I'm a newbie regarding this, but I did search the forums and couldn't find anything specific. Mostly it was about importing video into GB3 and then syncing new audio. I'll basically have audio and video from the same performance in two separate locations and I want to bring them together perfectly in Garageband.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Okay. I got the video and audio all together. I told you I'd link to it when it was up.

There's also a copy of it at http://www.myspace.com/bonjimmy/
And as a quick side comment, even though I uploaded the same video to both YouTube and MySpace, the MySpace version is much better. YouTube must do something to the video after it's uploaded.
What I learned doing this project:
I recorded the video first (which gave me the sequencing of the piano performance) and then I dubbed the audio in later. However, there wasn't a good way to sync the video and the prerecorded piano, so there are some spots where the dubbed audio vocal isn't accurate to the video. I'm not sure what the pros do for this. I was hoping I'd remember how I sang for the video but when a couple weeks go by before re-doing the audio, it's about impossible. I tried, though.
I remember working with an old 4-track and smpte to a sequencer a long time ago. With the way it is now, it's pretty cool that you can record digitally and mix and match and everything falls together perfectly as long as you have a place to match the video and the audio. It's pretty cool.
What else???
Does anyone have suggestions that would have made it better? Also, if you have suggestions on my performance or whatever, I'd love comments, but you can do that on the linked page.
Thanks again for all your help. (The point of the video is because I'm thinking about getting back out there and doing some more playing... I'm looking for a band or something else interesting...)

How to Slice Video, and Audio at same time

Hello Everyone.
When I click on Control K, it dose create a Slice in my Timeline, I want to create a Slice for my Audio as well, at the same time.
But every time I Slice a Video, and when I want to delete the Slice portion of the movie that I cut, the audio is still there, and I have to use the Razor Tool to select the cut portion under the Sliced movie.
Thanks
Simon.

Rod,
Through CS3, Ctrl+K worked on all Unlocked Tracks. With CS4, things changed a bit, as one could now Target multiple and even none contiguous Tracks. Ctrl+K still functions the same BUT now only affects Tracks that are Targeted, so no need for Locking them anymore. This has not changed with CS5.
Hope that this helps - it was changed as of CS4.
Hunt
PS - another workflow in CS3 and before, is to do the Crtl+K and then just ignore the Cut in some of the Clips, and just Alt+clicking on what you wish to remove, leaving the others alone. Though there is a Cut, one does not have to concern themselves with them, unless they wish to. Personally, I like the CS4 and later way of doing it - saves that Locking/Unlocking, or having to Alt+click to do things. However, I am a lazy sot.
PPS - Colin brings up a good point - how one has mapped THEIR keyboard shortcuts.

Multithreaded recording video 2 capture cards same time

is it possible to record 2 video and audio input sources with 2 instances of quicktime pro? I figure that a multi core computer would be able to do this. but not sure.
I would be capturing from a DVI/VGA source (no Audio) and a composite source with audio. I have both an Osprey capture card and a Datapath Capture card
Can Qucktime Pro do this with finess?

Some considerations beyond cpu power:
QTPro would not let me start two new recordings at the same time. However you could have another application that can record.
What resolution and frame rate is the dvi/vga? You could have a disk data limit if both resolution and frame rate are high. 640 x 480 @ 75 fps would require more than 70 MBps, for example.
If you want compression but your cards can't do hardware compression you could run out of cpu.

Recording Video and Audio at the same time

Hi!
I just want to know whether there are video recording options within Sountrack? I'd like to record (hopefully funny) videos (via the in-built camera) and add layers of sound immediately afterwards. Is this possible?

The way I tried doing this yesterday was by starting to record from my isight in iMovie 08 and then recording the audio in garage band at the same time.
That's a good idea! And will be much more "natural" than a later lip-sync.
After I finished I exported the audio iMovie and played around with the timing for about 10 minutes until I could sync up the audio to the video of what I was playing.
I would export the GB project to an audio file and then import the resulting AIFF into iMovie to finish the movie.
In my experience, syncing shouldn't be so hard - in iMovie, you get a kind of reverb effect if you're 1 or 2 frames off and listen to both audio tracks. This reverb vanishes once you're right on time.
For easier syncing, it could be helpful to do what they do in movies with a clapboard: Have a visual/optical clue with and impulse character, like clapping your hands, and use that to align video and sound. Fine tune by aligning the two audio tracks.

Need help - connecting Monitor and TV at same time with component video

I have a mac mini, connected via DVI to a monitor - I bought a DVI splitter to connect the monitor to one port and the tv to the other via a DVI to Video adapter, using component video. When I plug in the DVI to Video adapter, the primary monitor loses its connection and I cannot seem to get the TV to recognize the signal - what am I doing wrong?

In my case, the Barco Cine7 CRT projector I would like to connect the new Mini to accepts a pretty wide variety of analog component video formats, but I cannot find a listing of what the Mini supports. Presuming I use a DVI to VGA adapter and then a VGA to RGB cable, can the mini video card output any one of the following analog component formats:
RGBs or RGsB - R, G and B with automatic sync detection between seperate sync (separate composite sync or with separate hor and vert. sync) or sync on green (composite sync)
RGB with tri level sync - R, G and B with separate tri level sync or with tri level sync on green.
Component video - R-Y, Y and B-Y with separate sync or with compositesync.
Component video with tri level sync - R-Y, Y and B-Y with separate tri level sync or with composite tri level sync.

Sound for recording video and audio not working

I have tried everything to get the sound to work. I have reinstalled the audio driver. When I go to soundrecording.exe to see if I can record sound it gives me a message "An audio recording device cannot be found." Please help this is driving me crazy.

well, since people can hear you on a call, it's not a hardware problem with the microphone.
It appears to be something wrong with your recording apps -- the camera (in the case of video) and whatsapp.
First attempt would be to:
a) install another camera app with video capability and see if IT will record audio. and
b) uninstall and reinstall whatsapp to see if that fixes the problem.
If that doesn't work, to a backup, then try a hard reset and re-install the apps one by one, confirming that recording works after each install.

Exporting report as PDF and CSV formats same time with out executing DB query twice

Post Author: cpriyanka
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal Report 9.0 version and Java.
I am getting "PrintOutputController" from "ReportClientDocument"
And then by calling export(ReportExportFormat.PDF) generating PDF format report.
Now I need to generate both PDF and CSV format files same time. How can it be done?
My understanding is when we call "export" it does the DB query execution and other functionality.
In that case, if I call "export" two times with two different formats, then DB query will be executed twice and that takes lot of time.
To avoid, is there a way I can all some API so DB query executed once, but I can export report in to multiple formats?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Are you using the "pull" or "push" method for your crystal reports? If you are using the "pull" method (the report itself executes the sql) then I believe there is no way around having the query execute twice since it is fired off each time you open and export the report.
If you use the "push" method, however, then you can just create the recordset/dataset and then set the datasouce once for the report.
Here's a broad overview of push and pull though the Crystal Report Viewer is used. The viewer may or may not be applicable in your case:

Component video and HDMI at same time

Does anyone know if the AppleTV HDMI output and component video output are both active at the same time? (I want to send one to a plasma and the other to a projector, but I couldn't get anything out of the component output until I dosconnected the HDMI).

I think it would be too easy for us consumers if it worked as it should. I'd like to be able to set independent resolutions for Component vs HDMI AND have them both active, but it won't work like this. Bummer.
As to your problem, HDMI senses whether it is attached, and if it is attached, it takes precedence, disabling the component outputs. A simple albeit kludgy solution to your problem is to unplug the HDMI cable from the ATV when you want to use the Component outputs. (As your troubleshooting suggested... )

HT201066 Record video and audio stream

There doesn't appear to be any way to simply record the audio going to your speakers while recording the screen, at least not without using an internal or external microphone. Is there other software that will do this?

I can't think of an easier way since GB doesn't record video. To make the syncing easier you could do a little clapperboard effect, like clapping your hands, at the beginning of the recording. Then you should be able to align picture and sound perfectly.

Flex, Record video and audio using web camera to computer temp, then upload

Hello all,
I'm not sure if this is 100% possible and have been looking around for some time now for an answer but couldn't find one so have come here.
Basically I want to create a flex application that sits in a web browser, that allows people to connect using a webcam and microphone, then record a short video that gets held temporarily on the computer until they finish and then it uploads the whole video to a server.
I am able to achieve this by using a media server and streaming the video directly from the user to the server but this hinders the quality of the videos. On poor Internet connections the quality is rubbish.
Is it at all possible to save video files to a computers temp memory and then upload them ?
This would mean I can record the videos at a nice high quality and not have to worry about the Internet connection tampering with the quality.
Many Thanks in advance !

Thanks for the reply. I knew it was not possible to write to the C drive or the users computer at all.
But i really wanted to know if it was possible to write to a dataArray or byteArray within flex?
I should of mentioned this sorry.

What is the best way to make video and audio the same lengths for posting on Web?

YouTube recommends doing this to avoid sync problems. Maybe it will also make my videos run more smoothly. I'm talking here about random pauses I see in my movies on YouTube, not the uniform stuttering problem which I pretty much solved by redoing the movie at 30 fps instead of 24 fps. (Original is 18 fps Super 8 movie film.)
Anyway, there is no sound during my titles. The soundtrack starts about 17 seconds in, and ends when the ending titles begin. So what's the best way to add silent audio? The best I can figure is to take some existing sound, put it in where the titles are, and turn the volume down to zero. Seems real workaround-ish, so to speak, to me. It seems to work. I even cranked it up on headphones to make sure there was no residual noice. But I'm curious if there's a better way? No biggie if not.
Thanks.

I should have included the following:
1.) Why can't I make a silent project in GarageBand? I have to instead find a project with a long enough song, make an "iLife preview" of it (see (2) below), copy it from the iMovie Music and Sound Effects browser to the end of the movie, and then open the audio panel and turn the volume to zero. And all this so that video websites don't get confused by a soundtrack that starts in mid-movie.
2.) Why do I have to "render" them by the following process: Double-click a song in the iMovie Music and Sound Effects browser. You get a dialog box saying "The project "The Great Race" cannot be used because it was not prepared with an iLife preview. Would you like to open "The Great Race" in GB so you can save it with an iLife preview?" What I don't understand is why this new thing was introduced and why I have to do it via iMovie.

QuickTime's Screen Recording; Video AND audio?

Hi, I just now figured out how to use QuickTime player to record footage of my computer screen.
It works well, but the only problem is, that it doesn't record the sound from the speakers!
Does anyone know how to fix that?

stuff man guy wrote:
no, i know that, but the thing is, there is no setting to just simply record the audio without the use of line-in to the headphone port.
If you want to record your computer's screen and internal audio, you'll need to use a third-party capture utility such as Ambrosia Software's Snapz Pro. QuickTime X Player, unless there's a workaround I've not come across, does not capture internal audio.

WiFi and Ethernet at same time with Apple TV?

Will the following configuration work? WiFi Router upstairs is connected to the internet (DSL). Could I put a second wifi router downstairs acting as a relay, connecting it to an Apple TV via a short ethernet cable and connect to the Apple TV from my MacBook Pro via an ad hoc wifi network? I don't want to simply put the Apple TV into the network since that means traffic for the Apple TV would have to first go upstairs to that router and then be sent downstairs to the Apple TV. In short, I'd be using the Apple TV both to drive the TV as well as a router to the internet. Possible?

Okay, I turned it off and back on and now the wifi symbol shows up instad of LTE. Must have been a glitch.
Also found out we must have dropped the block on external mail accounts at work.
So, problem solved.
