Adjusting audio to match video

I have digitized video from 16mm film and made a corresponding audio with text and music to run approximately in sync with the 16mm projector when I showed the film. I now have the audio digitized in aiff format and would like to sync the audio with the digitized video using iMOVIE HD. It appears that the frame rate of the digitized video is different than the 16mm film projection and thus I need to slow down or speed up the audio to match. Can that be done in iMOVIE HD?

welcome hilflos ( ...oh, what a sad nic ... :-/ ) to the  board of discussions ...
Can that be done in iMOVIE HD?
no, there's no automatic "fit to selection" button in iM ...
what I would give a try...
get QuicktimePro (you will need it anyhow...)
export/"share" your iM project as Quicktime, Full Quality...
open the resulting file in QTpro ..
open your soundtrack with QTpro...
select all, copy it (Apple-A, Apple-C)
switch to open movie window..
select "add scaled" .. that makes the audio fit..
save file as "dv stream", import that into iM
that "scaling" could result in odd acustic phenomenons...
.. but better try, then doing all the audio edit again..
another option is Amazing Slowdowner from http://www.ronimusic.com/, which is able to .. ehm, slow down or speed up audio without any pitching effects.. but, afaik, you are not able to set a specfic time, just sliders...
most elaborated audio tools, as Logic, offer such "pitching" feature ...

A way to adjust audio when capturing video?

I transfered some video/audio and am having distortion in some audio.
The original audio does not peak and when I captured it in Premiere CS6, it is not peaking out, but when I play back, I can hear occasional distortion. The video is up at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNNgJiZMrRA
Does this sound like it is overmodulating or is something else happening?
Is there a way to adjust audio when capturing audio or is it a straight feed? Wondering if I can lower the audio input to try to fix.
thanks in advance for your help,
Charlie

How are you capturing the content? Because in my experince premiere doesn't have a way to adjust the audio levels of what your capturing. However if you post how you are capturing the footage in more detail I might be able to help. Please tell me exactly how you have everything hooked up.
For example if you have the camera hooked straight to the computer or if you're using a capture card if so what kind. Some capture cards have audio gain settings which might be causing the issue. Also some decks and cameras have audio playback volume settings which can also cause audio to be sent to premiere louder than what it started as. So if you give more detail I may be able to offer some sort of help.
One thing you might try though to remove that distortion is too add a lowpass filter to the audio, and start off by setting the low pass filter to like 3000 and just adjust by 500 up or down from there until the distortion goes away. I've had to do this in the past with audio that's distorted before. (Although I haven't experinced the specific issue you're experincing before.) Although it will make the persons voice sound muffled it will take most of the distortion out. Which getting rid of distortion at the cost of making it sound somewhat muffled is a decent trade off if worse comes to worse and you can't get the issue figured out.

Audio not matching video

Hello-
I am shooting with a Canon XHA1 on 24p. I completed one project using Adobe Premiere Elements 7...no problem. However, I just shot another movie and I captured about 10 minutes worth of video. For about two minutes, the audio and video matched, but it progressively got worse. On my camera it is fine, but on the timeline and video playback the audio/video matchup is horrible (especially the last few minutes)
Any idea on what the culprit might be?
I dont want to have to manually go in and slice up my audio each time I edit something.

No, this was not in the patch. When you open a new file, on the bottom left of the screen that pops up to name your project, you can click on the project settings. It gives you a whole list of things and it's under the folder called HDV...24p is an option listed there. This is Adobe Premiere Elements 7 by the way.

Audio doesnt match video

Every time i try to log and capture video from the camcorder to the comp at the end of my importing it says:
"the audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape"
Any ideas on fixing this?
IChat: Splitusa52

I know there is a menu for sample rate in the QT audio settigs section of Capture presets but I can't see the options because I have no input right now. I imagine 32khz would be an option. Josh, you could check that once you've verified the clips are 32.
Good point about going back to tape. I just assumed the deck or camera wouldn't care and would just record what it's getting at 48 (if that's what it was set for) but again... could be wrong.
But worse comes to worse Josh, you could edit then do a QT Export with conversion and change the sample rate to 32 there if necessary.
Hope I haven't made things more confusing here.

Clip from Flip camera- audio not matching video

Greetings,
When I play my clip form the flip camera in the browser it works. I then mark what I want to put in the timeline.
When I put it in the timeline, audio does not match with video. Any suggestions? Thanks

I have to agree. I use Compressor constantly. It is my central hub in this formatly dysfunctional video world.
I will also suggest that getting competent with Qmaster and Quick clusters will make Compressor a MUCH better tool.
I recently added an i7 2.0 quad server to deal with file and print serving, web, email etc and also set it up as an unmanaged cluster on the network (giga ethernet). Between it and my MacPro, Compressor stuff is happening in a fraction of the time it used to take. For example, just finished a 1 hr project and the encoding to m2v and ac3 for the DVD took 8 minutes - hardly enough time to get get coffee.
x
edit - running qmaster on a remote dual core mac may not be worth it. In testing it seems the time it takes to send the parts out to the remote machine, get them back and then put the whole thing together may take longer than keeping everything on one machine. The real benefit comes when there are lots of cores to be employed. Michael G's suggestion to head over the Digital Rebellion site to find Jon's write-up on setting up Qmaster is good advice.

Need help adjusting audio on imported video and/or cpvc to cptx presentation

I inserted a video into my cptx presentation that I created using captivate but the audio was too low. I went back into the cpvc (captivate video demo recording) and increased the volume and republished it and imported it again. However the sound will not increase and is still low. Can someone help me figure out how to increase the volume within the cptx or how to make the cptx recognize the updated volume that was increased? Really running into brick walls on this one...
Appreciate any help that someone can provide.

Is it AVCHD, Mini-DV, or DVD? What format does the camera record to?

Audio doesnt match video???!!! HELP!!!

Hello all!
So I am trying to match an imported music file with the actual video. A lot like a music video where I need the track to match the actual lip movement. It seems like I can get it to match up at the beginning but it it slowly starts to get off beat. Any Advice????

Welcome to the forum!
Check the specs of the music clip ... does it match the specs of your FCE Sequence? Should be AIFF, 48khz, 16 bit.

Window for adjusting audio doesn't appear when toggled in imovie '08

I'm trying to adjust audio for some video clips, but the usual window that pops up to allow me to do this is not coming up anymore.

I have the same problem (the popup audio adjustment window never appears). It doesn't matter what project I work on, it never pops up, although the audio icon remains depressed like it is up somewhere.
I unplugged the 2nd monitor and rebooted, but it didn't fix it for me.
Likewise, I deleted the plist file, but I still can't get the panel to pop up. It works on the other Macs in the house, but not on my MacBook Pro 17.
This is frustrating. I've been hours trying to solve this problem and I'm past a deadline, and I can't continue without this. Argh!

Audio doesn't match video because repeated half way through

Hi guys,
I am currently editing videos from my Canon SLR with Adobe Premiere Elements (Windows).
In the same project, I have only uploaded videos taken the same day with the same equipment. I have been able to process them all normally apart from one. For some reason, when I play this file with a basic video player, everything works fine but when I import it in the Adobe software and play it either through the small window or in the timeline, I have the same problem:
Everything works fine (audio and video in sync), until it reaches a specific point (totally random as far as I can tell) when the video keeps going but suddenly the sound repeats itself from the beginning of the file (and the audio which would correspond to the video is replaced by it). For you to understand better the problem:
Video:   ABCDEF
Audio:   ABCABC
I have tried opening it in a different project and somehow it happens exactly at the same point.
I am totally clueless of what it comes from and getting really frustrated!
Any idea?
Cheers
Babs

Hello, I'm new to using forums like this. Is it appropriate for me to post that I'm having the same issue? Also sounds similar to Audio doesn't match video because repeated half way through as well.
My situation is:
Win7 64-bit, i7 920, 2.67GHz, 8GB RAM
Multiple Nikon D7000 video clips I've taken play back fine except for the following clip. In Windows Media Viewer, I have no problem, but in PE10, in the timeline editor, this clip repeats the audio from the beginning starting about 6 minutes into the video. I have Quicktime version 7.7.5 installed which I noticed was mentioned as a possible culprit in the other thread.
I've been using my camera primarily for stills, but decided to have my mom tell her story before she wasn't able to. I'm so frustrated with this problem because I know the audio is just fine since I can play it back synchronized throughout the entire clip in WMV. I've tried cleaning out PE caches as best I can figure them out and created new projects without any better luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm open to getting a new version of PE or another program if I could believe that I wouldn't run into this issue again. This seems like such a vanilla problem since all my other clips seem to be fine and this one does too on WMV.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I don't really know where else to go to figure this out.

Video and audio not matching

I am fairly new to editing so this may seem like a basic question. I am working on a project where there were 2 cameras. I put down the footage from the first camera into the time line. I am trying to overlay footage from the second camera on v2 so instead of a close-up shot, it shows a wider angle shot. Since both camera were going at the same time, I am only using the audio from the first camera. My problem is when I overlay the second camera footage, I can't seem to get the audio to match exactly. Even when I think I have the playhead in the right spot, it seems off slightly. I have tried moving it several times but I can't get it exactly right.
Thank-you in advance for any help you can give me.

what you need to do is find a single frame where you can match with certain frame accuracy
a good example of a frame to match on would be one where a flash occurs (from a stills camera) or one where a subject in camera blinks. double click the upper track to load it in the viewer, find a good sync point frame and add a marker (press M), now do the same for the lower clip, marking the same frame. down in the timeline nudge the clips left or right so that the two markers line up
you might also want to do a little reading on using FCP's built-in Multiclip functionality

Software to match video with music tempo

Greetings, I am controlling video on projector screens for a concert. I want the video pace to match the audio pace. I was wondering if there is any software out there that could do this for me if I ran an audio signal into my mac.
thanks in advance for any help

Hi.
Not sure, but I think the best software for this might be the stuff in between your ears. Just kidding....sort of.
It's not clear from your post if you hope to match video to specific musical beats, or if you have video that is connected with certain songs in the concert. Or perhaps, both conditions need to be met.
I am in a band, and am working on video that I am cutting to our pre-recorded versions of the songs we will do in concert After the video is done our band (it's actually a early music ensemble) will rehearse with it to get a feel for the pace. Am trying to include elements for adjusting in a live situation.
I have said nothing helpful for you, so will sign off now!
Good luch with your project.

How can I make a synced audio track match the length of selected clips in a multicam seq?

I have a continuous multicam sequence of about 13 minutes containing a synced master audio track recorded from seperate microphones. I want to rearrange scenes from it into my final sequence, but when I select a range of clips to nest the entire length of audio gets pasted into the new sequence. I want to trim the audio to match just the clips I've selected but not lose sync. Is there a way to do this or is nesting not the way to chop up a sequence and rearrange the scenes in it?
Thanks.
Mike

Me too!!! I have a multicam sequence from 2 cameras with the audio staying on camera 1. I also have a seperate, continuous audio track recorded from microphones which I have synced to the timeline. I'm trying to select a group of sequential clips of different camera angles from the timeline to create scenes which I can insert into a final sequence but in a different order from how they are on the timeline. Let's say I want to take a series of clips that start at 3:30 on the timeline and go until 4:30 on the timeline. It will contain several cuts between the different cameras and I want to use that section as the first scene of my new sequence. If I select all of the clips in that time period and nest them into a new sequence, I only get the audio from camera 1 on the new TL. If I try window selecting those clips to include the continuous audio track, I get a new TL with 3 minutes and 30 seconds of the desired audio, then the video clips, and then the rest of the audio making a 13 minute TL. I just learned, after searching around, about marking in and out points on my multicam seq. and using the trick of "LIFTing" and then "UNDOing" to keep my multiseq intact, and then pasting into a new sequence. That works, but I'm only getting the audio track from off the camera. It won't select and lift the section of the other audio track that I want. I'm rushed for time so that's the way I've ended up finishing the video for now. The camera audio is just going to have to do although the mic recording is much better. The more I try to explain this the more confused I get and I'm sure everybody reading it does too. Any ideas? Thanks!

How do I sync a audio recording with video?

Hi,
I recorded a concert using my DSLR and a separate sound recorder. What is the easiest way to sync these two up in PE10? I had hoped that at the least I could compare the wave files of both the original recording on the camera with the separate recording. But PE10 only shows the wave file of the recording from the camera. The wav file from the recorder is just shown as a green bar. Any ideas?
cheers
bill

First, what is the file format, and its specs. for the remote recorder?
Though the rates of modern cameras and digital recorders SHOULD match 100%, in the real-world, they seldom do. This make perfect syncing a labor intensive process.
One should do tests between the cameras and the recorders, to find out the % or error. Then, adjust their Audio to match first. As an example, one user in the PrPro Forum tested his Panasonic cameras, and his Zoom recorders, and found that the Zooms were off by 0.04% constantly. To correct this, he used the Time Remapping (with Maintain Pitch checked), and would apply that adjustment to all of the Zooms' files - perfect sync.
As for the Waveform not displaying for your remote recorder, did you allow those files to completely Conform (creation of the CFA and PEK files, the latter is the Waveform Display)? See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/726693?tstart=30
Also, you should be able to increase the vertical zoom of your Audio Tracks, and hence any Clips on them, by hovering the Cursor over the junction between Tracks, in the Track Header, and when it turns into a = sign, with up/down arrows, click+drag. Then, you should be able to find commonality in the beginning, to sync up to. Tip: for this critical work, toggle the Snap feature OFF, with the S key.
Good luck,
Hunt

StreamigHow to get audio component of Video out of AirPort/stereo using MBA

Ok will some one help me with this please:
I was experimenting with streaming video. I was watching Leo Laporte's TWiT Live show
http://twit.tv/roz13
where he was talking to Roz Savage the woman who is rowing across the Pacific alone ! This was live feed (including rower's audio from the middle of the ocean); very cool ! Laugh but she is half way to Hawaii and she has already rowed the Atlantic (no sail). The show is called Roz Rows. Leo checks in with her several times a week. Past shows are on iTunes.
Ok I got off track but she is truly awesome in a time when that word is used to describe somebody's socks.
My happy MacBook Air experience to get off the track again: On battery I was watching the live video stream and my iStat showed heat ~55 C and fan 2800 rpm very cool !
I was getting down to 25% battery so I plugged in the charger cable. The temp climbed slowly but predictably to the high heat side of the scale (68 C 6200 rpm) and stabilized. Once again hot but I am happy.
Interesting how cool it was before hooking up charging lead. I am so happy about that !
Now we get to the question ta da !
I want to know how to get the audio for the streaming video to come out of the audio system connected to my Airport Express. Listening to music on iTunes it works fine. Watching an iTunes purchased TV episode on iTunes it _does not_ (the sound comes out of the computer speaker) no matter the setting on the low right hand corner of the window. Perhaps I should be in the iTunes or AirPort discussions but wanted to post positive experience here with streaming video using MacBook Air.

it might be possible using airfoil or similar utility...
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/
...but you will probably find that audio/video are badly out of sync due to the latency on the streamed audio
if the video is playing in something like vlc you can compensate by adjusting the audio/video sync (although it is fiddly and drifts because the latency varies) but in itunes you can't
