A different concept for producing music video's..is it possible?

Hi,
In preparing for a music video shoot this week I wondered if a feature in Soundtrack Pro 2 could be put into FCP 7???
I am recording the music (10 min) of piano and cello for a tango. After editing I will play it back for dancers. It would be incredible if I could play it back in Soundtrack Pro which would sync to FCP capture window, and use the multiple take feature to keep recording over the same timeline space with different video takes. They would line up on different video tracks in FCP and the audio would stay the same. That way you could immediately see if all of your music was covered with footage that you like. It would save a lot of post production time.
Could this be possible in the future?
On another note, I am recording with the Letus 35 depth of field adapter for a film look. Is there any advantage of recording in Prores 422 HQ over DVCPro HD? I'm shooting on a HVX-200 with P2 or I could go into an AJA IOHD. I plan to bring it into Color after the shoot. Any advice would be appreciated

I'm looking for a music video that's not...

I'm looking for a music video that's not on itunes. Where can I express a wish?
(My wish: ofra haza "im nin alu" - musicvideo)
I want it because of the good quality recording.
Greetz!

MPD rocks, runs here for months without major problems.
The client side is very flexible, you can choose many players:

For X, for console, etc..
Edit:
MPD supports Icecast also, to create streams.

Need Help with ACTIONSCRIPT for Interactive Music Video

I am trying to create an interactive music video in After Effects and Flash.
The concept is that while the music video is taking place the user can decorate the hair of the woman with any of the objects they select. There will be predetermined animations and destination spots but the user can choose whatever objects they select to be delivered to the predetermined spot. I need to figure out how to let the user to select an object that will become part of the animation. I created a PDF Roughly explaining what I am trying to do. If anyone can help me I'd be very grateful as I am more versed in After Effects, I don't know ActionScript well enough to execute what I am trying to do.
Below is a rough example of what I am trying to do. There will be a music video of an animated woman singing. As she is singing the user will be able to click any of the objects , below the numbers 1-10. Below it is illustrated that the user wants to press the blue number 2. If the user presses the 2 the 2 will animate in the mouth of a bird to a predetermined pre-animated spot. I assume I need to send a movieclip to a blank holder on the timeline and use a gotoAndPlay() action ??? I am not well versed in ActionScript so any advice would help
Now whatever number (movieclip) the user chooses next needs to be placed in another blank spot in the timeline? Below the user selcts the Pink 5.
If the user just wanted to Place two "Blue 2's" then the "Blue 2's" would follow the same animated path and end up at the same predetermined space.
If the user selected just 5's and 7's they would go to the predetermined preanimated paths
How would I go about writing the Actionscript for this?

Look, I hope you don't have false expectation that by knowing one piece of AS capabilities you will be able to accomplish your task.
If I say that the code for placing one MovieClip into another is:
clip1.addChild(clip2);
will it make any difference in terms of implementation?
Also, you say "select." This may mean a lot of thing: click, drag and drop, mouse down, etc. I am saying that implementation tightly depends of definitions that you give.
I don't know the extend of your AS skills, so it is not easy to figure where to start helping. Also, forum, perhaps, is not the medium where someone will write a lot of code for you. It is good for getting answers to very specific questions and solutions. This is when you have some code in place already.
What I would suggest is to start developing a very rough concept - no video, no birds, no numbers - just a static background image of the person you have in your first post. If you advance to an application that will allow user to select a square, place the square into another one - it will be a good start.

ITunes makes different folders when adding music,videos & pictures

Hi,
I use Windows 7. I have found that when adding music,videos & pictures iTunes makes different folder for it.
I have around 17GB of songs & music. but when I added them to iTunes library it made different folder containing all my songs. Now I have around 34GB of songs. What the ****! It does same for videos & pics.
Please Help!

Hi,
When adding a new song (or any media file) to the iTunes library, it copies those files to a folder (usually C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music ). iTunes does this to keep a backup of your songs. To deactivate this go to Edit>Preference>Advanced (or Ctrl+, then go to Advanced) and uncheck the checkbox "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". iTunes will not copy the music files to its folder. But there is one downside to doing so, if you change the directory (folder or place) of the music that you added to the iTunes library (without copying to its folder), the music will not be played. Trying to play such a song will provide you with a messagebox that asks you to relocate the song or to ignore it. So it is always a good idea to allow iTunes copy the music files to the specified folder automatically. But if you are concerned about the disk space, you can delete the songs' copy of yours (the directory you select).
If you want to add some songs to the iTunes Media folder, you right click a song (or multiple songs) and click on "Consolidate Files...". These songs will be copied to the iTunes Media folder and it will be there whatever happens.
If you are afriad that copying a songs will not allow you to copy the music files to another directory from the iTunes Media folder, you shouldn't be. The folder is similar to that of anyother.
Adding a song without using iTunes is also possible, just copy the songs you want to add to "C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes".
Regards,

Any suggestions for editing Music Videos with Multiclip?

Hi there. I have been reading about the new multiclip feature in FCPHD5. Sounds as if it would be perfect for editing a performance music video with multiple run throughs. In fact it almost seems too good to be true. I was writing to ask if anyone has tried this and what problems they encoutnrered or what workflow they could recommend. I haven't used multiclip before (or editied many music videos either) and would appreciate any suggestions.
This is my idea so far.
capture offlineRT the whole tape, make subclips with an angle setting of each take. Then edit the multiclip in a timeline which includes the song as an audio track. I thought I would synch with inpoints manually set to the beginning of the songs first riff in playback (as there was no clapper on set that day, curse them)
I have questions about onlining as well and how to make it a less tormenting nerve racking experience. Maybe its just me but the thought of trashing all the media, duplicating projects and recapturing makes me break out in a cold sweat. But I'll deal with that later.
Thanks for your thoughts, observations, suggestions.
Have a merry Christmas
Sincerely
Peter Stenhouse

The plan was to sync up the mixed PT audio to the video track. However the club screwed up the recording and I was left with using the audio from one of the tripod mounted cameras that I placed a stereo mike on.< </div>
General advice for live performances:
1. Depending on a computer to make the only recording is a silly idea. Use tape or a minidisk. Take a line feed off the main board and record it on at least one of the cameras.
2. There is nothing that will substitute for missing timecode better than a good countdown. Insist the band develop a creative visual and aural timing cue that all cameras and mics can see.
3. The most important part of shooting a performance or a lipsync gig for mulitcamera assembly is preproduction. The bugs, glitches and gotchas are all well known and thoroughly documented on thousands of band blogs.
4. There is no excuse to go into a location shoot unprepared and carrying a solid backup plan for all of the stuff that will go wrong.
5. A full, all-camera, all-personnel rehearsal is a good idea.
6. The band's lighting guy knows nothing about video. Give him some help or give him the day off.

Is it usefull to buy Final Cut Pro X for making music video's or not?

Right now I'm using iMovie 11. I can put the audio an the video togheter and stuff but thats kinda it... So if I wan't to use more effects and stuff should I buy this?

I think FCPX is very good for short-form work like music videos, and definitely a big upgrade to iMovie. Additionally, the interface is similar so you'd have less of a learning curve.
There's a ton of hidden power though, and you probably would need to follow some tutorials and/or read instructional material in order to really be able to use the software efficiently, and understand what it has to offer. Many people have given high praise to Ripple Training; there's also some free training available at: http://www.izzyvideo.com/final-cut-pro-x-tutorial/ that can get your feet wet, so to speak. And I know Mr. Wolsky is working on a book that would be great to have, once it comes out.
At the moment, there are still a bunch of bugs that need to be ironed out, which you can read about on this forum. If you are willing to deal with a beta-quality product that has lots of potential, I'd say go for it. The most important thing to remember is to have a way of backing up your projects so that in the event you are hit with the worst of the bugs, you can still recover work.

Apps for Playing Music & Videos - Lumia 1320

Can anyone name an app excellent for playing music from folders & an app for video playing with subtitles for NOKIA Lumia 1320?
Moderator's Note: The subject was amended as we have created a new thread for this topic and moved it to the more appropriate board.

Luckily, there is an excellent app named MoliPlayer Pro. there is a free trial, but it does play alternative video format files such as MKV, RMVB, MOV etc.

Which codec to choose for a music video edit with this setup?

I am using a new camera (for me that is) a Panasonic Hdc Sd700 and have shot a music video with two of these cameras. I am using Clipwrap to encode and the options as far as I can see are:
Apple Intermediate Codec (Aic)
Apple ProRes 422
Apple Prores 422 HQ.
I am going to use some effects so there will be several tracks of video to deal with. I have an external esata drive and another external FW800 drive.
I am working on a laptop (Macbook Pro) with these specs: 4 Gb Ram, 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Is 422 HQ to much too handle for this machine?
I still have much to learn .....

Is 422 HQ to much too handle for this machine?
It's overkill anyway, just based on the camera you are using. Regular ProRes or ProRes LT will be fine.
Don't use Apple Intermediate.

When I updated my software version on my ipod touch it wiped out everything, software I had payed for, pictures, music, video. What a rip off. I would just go back to my last version, but I'm sure it wouldn't help. What a ripoff. Does anyone have any idea

When I updated my ipods touch os version it wiped out all my software I had paid for, my pictures, music, videos, contacts everything. What a rip off. I would just go back to my last version, but I'm sure that wouldn't help. What a racket, make people buy software then put out a new version and wipe there system so they have to buy the software again. Anyone have any idea's?

You can redownload iTunes pruchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
The iPod backup that iTunes makes during every sync and and as the a early step of an USB update does not contain synced media like apps and music. It has aloways been that way. If rhe synced media is not in your iTunes library when you do the restore it can't be synced to the iPod during a latter part of the update. See:
iTunes: About iOS backups
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5

Different colors for hierarchy nodes in WEBI 4.0 (Possible or not)

Hi Everyone,
We have been listening a lot about the capability of Webi 4.0 in terms of Hierarchies from BW BEx Query. It works just fine like in BEx Analyzer, but is it possible to create formatted reports like we do in Crystal reports to display different colors for the hierarchy nodes. The reason for asking about this functionality is though Crystal Enterprise also inherits Hierarchical view from BEx Query we still won't be able to drill down in real time to do some interactive analysis.
Where as Webi 4.0 can allow us to do interactive analysis by allowing us to drill down on the hierarchies, but it would be great to show the Webi report with different colors for the hierarchy nodes along with the drill down functionality, to give users the best look and feel while working with these reports.
I am trying to achieve this functionality but I am not successful yet and running out of ideas. I am also not sure if this is possible or not. Can anyone throw some light or share there thoughts on this.
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
SRV

Create a variable with:
=[Object].Depth
where [Object] has to be the one containing the BEx hierarchy.
This function will return the hierarchy level starting with 0 (zero).
You can use the value of the variable the in the formatting rules:
variable equal [hierarchy level]
to format all hierarchy nodes on the given level.

I just got an 8GB iPod touch, I'm concerned that I will not have enought gigabytes for future music purchases. Is it possible to upgrade to a 32GB without having to pay $300 for a new iPod?

I just got an 8GB iPod touch, I'm concerned that I will not have enough gigabytes for future music purchases, Is it possible to upgrade to a 32GB without having to pay $300 for a new iPod?

Well, obviously you can't walk into the apple store and get them to upgrade your iPod for you for FREE when the 32GB costs at least a 100$ more.
Just stick with the 8GB, don't download rubbish apps.

Looking for a music video app.

I'm looking for an app that will let me record one long video (where I'm miming to an entire song in time) then allow me to replace parts of it with other short videos and stills, not changing the timing of the long video. Does iMovie have this facility or does anyone know of other apps that do?

IMovie iOS is not able to edit different video over different video.
But this only applies to audio recorded with video.
So you could lay down the music track you are lip syncing to, then add your video over the top.
But you are unable to lay a second layer of video over the top of the first.
So iMovie iOS is not the app you are looking for.
This forum is specifically for iMovie iOS so I can't recommend any other app sorry.

Different management for songs and video

Is it possible to have Itunes manage songs but not video? Or manage the videos in another folder / on a different hard drive?
What I really want is to have itunes sync my music but not my videos. I want my videos to stay on my ipod and not be on my computer.
Will

There is a similar problem which has been addressed with Artist and Album Artist fields. What we need are seperate Song-Year and Album-Year fields in the MP3 tags. This is a question for the MP3 standards Committee.
The "roughest" solution would be to append the release date to the song name ... "High Voltage (1976)".

Audio input for live music video, question

Hi
I'm wanting to use imovie to record some solo guitar performances. I would like to be able to process the audio through logic pro as I record the live audio and video. I have a digi003 audio interface and am able to use it as my audio input no problem, but am not able to add reverb and eq through logic pro. I open both apps and in logic I get the processed sound but as I record in imovie I only record the unprocessed guitar. How would i be able to do this? Thanks for the help!!

Hi,
Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions.
If you have any installed, turn that off, try that site.
For photos... back to the menu bar, click Safari / Preferences then select the Appearance tab.
Make sure: *Display images when the pages loads* is selected.
