Adding audio to video

I captured separate files for audio and video in Final Cut Pro and now I want to join them in iMovie '08.
The video imported correctly but when I try to drag or import the audio file, iMovie says the "file is not compatible with iMovie". The audio kind is QuickTime Movie (.mov) and the Codec is Integer (Big Endian).

The video imported correctly but when I try to drag or import the audio file, iMovie says the "file is not compatible with iMovie".
if audio is iMovie '08 compatible, transfer it to iTunes and access it in iMovie '08 via the iTunes browser.

Adobe Captivate 6 -- Adding audio to video

Hello --
How do I add audio to a video I imported into Adobe Captivate 6? The videos actually already have audio, but I would like to record over them with my voice.
Thank you!

Adding audio to Video Demo: Captivate 7

Hello, i have several questions about working with audio in a video demo in Captivate 7.
I have a video demo that was captured without audio, then the intended script changed signifigantly so the timing is way off (sometimes the video doesn't hold on a screen long enough for the narrator to finish talking, sometimes it holds too long).
Any tutorials out there for adding audio after the video demo is recorded, when the timing is all off and I need to hold on some frames longer than the movie does? I'm doing still screen grabs and inserting them as images for the duration of the hold, but there's got to be a better way!
Is there any way to add text-to-speech in the Video Demo (other than adding it in slide notes, exporting the audio file and then importing it to the background of the video demo?)
When adding audio to a Captivate 7 video demo, is it better to add it to the video (Edit Video Demo > Audio > Import to > Background) or to add it to the slide in the regular timeline? Pros/Cons? Best practice?
Thanks!

Are you un-checking "Edit Volume" before you play it?
Sue
Hi Sue, Thanks for your help, I am new to the Mac, so forgive me if I am slow!
I cannot find "Edit Voume".
I can find "Show clip volume" in the "View menu" is that the same thing?
Thanks for your help. Chatch

Adding Audio and Video Content to EPUB from InDesign CS5.5 | CS5.5 Design Premium Feature Tour | Adobe TV

In this episode, Colin Fleming shows how simple it is to embed audio and video content in InDesign CS5.5 for export to EPUB.
http://adobe.ly/xT0jKh

I have placed audio and video into InDesign. I did it just exactly the way this video told me. Everything works well in the preview panel. However, when I exported it to EPUB, the file of the EPUB is so small (I guess, it should have been larger because I had added video and audio file into it). Plus, When I open it in EPUB reader (ibook) and Adobe Digital Edition, It shows nothing.
What I want to do is to create an EPUB which contains image, and sound. I want to make the image as a button which plays sound when I click it. I did it by setting he button to play when clicked, but again, it is not showing at all when published to EPUB.
I hope that there will be a good solution to this matter.
Thank You.

I would like to see a built-in way of adding audio and video files.

As it is, you have to rely on third-party solutions for adding mp3 audio files and video to Muse sites. Thanks

Hi,
I tried to reproduce what you were getting by building a simple VI but I havent had much luck (I have attached the VI).
Could you post your code so that I can take a look at it?

Adding audio without video

When I drag in an audio clip iWeb sees it as a video clip and wants to add a photo. Does anyone have a way to add audio only without making it an .mov file?
Thanks!

There are some other ways of displaying your tracks...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/MusicPlayers/MP3iFrame.html
Method 1 helps to stop people stealing your tracks.
If you insist on using QT for music tracks, make sure you give the download link as a lot of PC users don't have QuickTime Player installed.

Re: Adding Audio To Video

Well i can think of only the data source type problem causing a IncompatibleSourceException.
Anyways post your code here.

Yes, you were right. The Exception IS a NoPlayerException. Basically I end up with a DataSource with a content descriptor of application.mixed which it can't find a player for. Which I guess is understandable. I'm not sure it's necessary, but my code is below

Adobe Presenter - audio and video

Could someone please tell me the difference between adding
audio and video to a PP presentation via PowerPoint vs. importing
and adding audio and video using the Presenter tab?
Also, I'm looking for a list of things that won't work when
publishing. For example, I noticed that animations, slide
transitions and QuickTime movies won't work after publishing.
Thanks SO much.
Leona

Check out the documentation on Presenter -- there are some
very specific ways you need to add audio (use "Record Audio" or
"Edit Audio" in the Presenter menu) and video (use "Insert video"
in the Presenter menu).
Powerpoint has facilities to do these things as well, but
Presenter won't be able to publish them, from what we've
determined.
For animations, again, read the documentation carefully --
all your animations have to be set to "On Click" or "With Previous"
-- i.e., they can't be timed animations. Again, Presenter won't be
able to translate these timed animations -- you must "click" them
into view (you do this as you're recording audio with "Next
Animation", or you can do it after recording audio using
"Synchronize Audio").

Adding audio suddenly creating video gap

I'm working on a slide show and it was going really well until today. The video is finished, with transitions, effects, etc., and I've been adding audio over the past couple of days. Today, I added a couple of songs and they did fine, then I added another one and it caused a gap in the video. When I go to the video line and right-click the gap, the "Delete and Close Gap" is greyed out so I can't use it. The gap doesn't "match" the audio--it starts about halfway through the audio and then ends where the audio ends. This is really frustrating, as I can't see anything different about this section of the project from the rest of it. (same file types, etc.) Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can correct it? Thanks!

Steve--Thanks so much--of course that worked like a charm! :) I can always count on you to know right away what I'm doing wrong!! I do have one more question--why did the ripple feature only kick in towards the end? I had 1 hour and 6 minutes of audio tracks that didn't cause any of the ripples, then it seemed to happen out of nowhere. I don't *think* I was doing anything differently up to that point. I'm mystified! But also very, very thankful to know the cure--I'll be doing some last minute touch-ups and then I'll be ready to burn this one! Yahoooooo!!!!! :) Take care, Tina

Is it possible to split an added audio clip (like you can with the video clips)?

I'm working in iMovie 9. I've recorded a audio voiceover that I added to my video clips.
I want to be able to split the voiceover audio so I can separate the different sentences and move them to where they are appropriate relative to the video.
With video, this is easily done with shift+command+S.
I tried selecting the audio track and doing shift+command+S but it doesn't work.
I can't figure out how to do this. Is it possible?

Thanks for the tip. Tried it, no go. Guess 9 is primitive that way.
I now remember a few years ago having the same problem, and I contacted Apple and suggested they make this possible in future versions of iMovie. Guess they listened to me!

How to combine discrete audio and video files?

I am working on a project which requires me to merge a video file with a PCM audio file from another source.
I just bought Compressor 4.1.1, expecting to be able to do exactly this.
The only "multiple input - single output" option I can see is creating a surround sound group, adding my audio as left and right channels, and then attaching the video.
This does not work. Pressing "add" at the end of the process does not result in a new job.
Help please!
G.

QT7 Pro is able to do this. Cost is $30.
In QT7 Pro, open up the audio and video files to be matched.
Select all the audio and then select copy
In the video window, put the playback head where you want the audio to start then select add to movie.
Verify the playback is as desired, then save the movie. Done.
Takes longer to describe the process than to do it.

Of course, life is good when the in point is exactly the same for both audio and video ...

Audio and video are not synched

I'm just beginning with FXP X (8), and just added a file to my event library, and created a new project. Dragged my first clip into the story line, and discovered that the audio and video are not syched. This is original footage from a video camera, no modifications or added tracks. But clearly the words of the speaker on camera are not synched with the video, both in the event library and in the story line clip. Is this operator error (lol)? TIA for any help, I'm stuck on square one.

You can right click on your clip in the storyline and Detach Audio.
After that, you can slide the audio until it's in sync or if it changes sync over the length of the clip, there is a way to correct that as well.
First, in the video, skim the playhead until you can see something that will "mark" a specific start of a sound and set a Marker (type M). Then select the audio portion (already detached) and find the start of the matching sound and type M (adds marker to the audio.) Turn on snapping and slide the audio until the two markers snap.
If you need to correct sync drift, use the same technique for markers near the end of the clip, but instead of sliding the complete audio clip, Retime the audio clip (type command-R) (set the playhead over the video marker - snapping won't work when retiming) and adjust the end of the audio until the two markers match up. Preserve Pitch (from the Retime menu) should already be selected.

Split audio from video doesn't split video at the same point ?

When I split the audio from a video in GarageBand I would like the video to be split at the same point (so that I can insert audio in between without everything getting out of sync).
Is this possible?
(I don't want to use iMovie since that turns my 150 MB mov file into a 8 GB file..take ages to import)
The reason I want to insert audio in between video fragments is that I am creating an audio description of a tv series for a blind friend. I watch the video, pause that, and describe. Then continue.
If I can split both the video and "audio from video" at the same point and drag those to the right, so there's room to record something in between (then in the end I'll just drag it all so that the parts join up, delete the video and merge the audio. I hope.)
Thanks in advance!!

I figured out how to reset the Youtube video upon hiding thanks to Heathrowe's answer and FigFrance's contribution to the thread found here:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/4979969#4979969
The secret was adding .empty() to my video container. Here is my functioning button code:
Show Video:
//code to embed youtube into symbol
var youtube = $("<iframe/>");
sym.$("video").empty().append(youtube);
youtube.attr('type', 'text/html');
youtube.attr('width', '640');
youtube.attr('height', '360');
youtube.attr('src', 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/MyFv6UKsW70?rel=0');
youtube.attr('frameborder', '1');
youtube.attr('allowfullscreen', '0');
// Show an element
sym.$("video").show();
Hide Video:
sym.$("video").empty();
// Hide an element
sym.$("video").hide();

Ducking doesn't work on added audio track

I have an iMovie 09 video clip of people dancing to music in the background. I attached a separate audio clip of music to the video (it appears in green beneath the video).
At a certain point in the video, I want to fade the added music clip so you can hear what's going on in the video. So I went to "Audio Adjustments" on the video clip and checked the Ducking box to that the music on the added audio clip would fade at that certain point.
But it doesn't fade at all. How do I fix this? Thanks.

You should be able to trim expanded audio in previous versions, also. Then you do trim, the audio will only turn dark, not get physically shorter, when you Expand Audio Components. When you Expand Audio, it will physically change the length of the audio section. One thing to remember is that when you Expand Audio/Video, the whole clip is selected by default, click on the head or tail of the audio first. If it is red, you can not expand it out, but can trim it in.
Tom is correct about ROLL edits, they only work in FCPX 10.1 and later. Only works with clips in a Storyline. Only work with audio that has enough Handles to accoedate the Roll edit.

Recording audio without video

Is there any way to record live audio from a mic and
streaming it through FMS without having to have a webcam plugged
in? Is there way to use another video source other than a webcam,
such as an existing flv?
thank you.

Sure... you can record audio without video. It's the same as
recording both... just don't attach the camera to the netstream.
As for adding another video image... that one you can't do.
You can only play once source over a stream, so video from one
source and audio from another can't be played across a common
stream.
