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!!

Safari pause & start slow loading for live internet video & question marks

Hello,
I like to watch this live show on marilyn.ca and if I use Safari a segment takes forever to load and when it does it stops and starts and keeps loading after a few seconds. This never happens on Firefox with the same URL.
Then I sometimes open a new page and see a question mark where there should be a photo. I have Perian installed and Flip 4 Mac. Again in Firefox I have no problems. I used to always use Firefox then switched back to Safari. Is there a way to solve these 2 problems?

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

Audio synch drifting in music video

Hello-
I just sat down this morning to begin editing a music video shot in DVCPRO HD @ 24fps. The video is performance-based, and, at the shoot, the artists played along to the song from their album (the song was played from a CD and run through a PA) so that all the footage could be synched up to the track in editing.
However, when I lay the audio track down with a take from the shoot, the audio track (imported from their album and converted into AIFF format) gradually loses synch with the video. I've edited several music videos using this same format (the same cameras, even) and have never encountered this problem. The audio settings for the captured video and the audio from the CD match (48khz, 16 bit).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

the issue was that the synch track was played from a CD (on an older cd player, which may or may not have contributed to the problem). The track from the cd fell out of synch with the AIFF as the song progressed, I assume due to the fact that the CD is physically spinning, creating a variable on how fast the data can be read from it (even though there was no discernible difference in speed to my ears or to the artists who wrote and recorded the song) . So, I ended up running that same CD player into my computer and importing the track from the player in real time, which synced up perfectly.

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.

ITunes 7.6 No Audio When Playing a Music Video or Movie

I just installed iTunes 7.6.0.29 (It was released today).
There is no audio when playing a music video or a movie that I've purchased. Movie trailers and music videos in the iTunes store have no audio either. Videos from iTunes University that I've downloaded (such as an MIT lecture) play fine w/ audio.
Music audio (such as tracks I've purchased or tracks on the iTunes store) play fine.
QuickTime videos, such as a QT video on my desktop play fine. Windows Media Player works fine too.
So, why don't music videos and movies play (w/audio) on iTunes 7.6??

I'm experiencing what appears to be the exact same issue. I just installed iTunes 7.6.
Video but no audio:
Purchased iTunes TV episodes
Streamed video trailers in the iTunes Store
Works fine:
All music files, including protected files purchased through iTunes
The standalone Quicktime player performs normally with MOV files. Windows Media Player still performs normally.
I found an old support doc complaining of a similar issue with a previous iTunes release and tried the suggested fix: Uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling it using the standalone installer (Quicktime 7.4). I also reinstalled iTunes. Neither solved the issue.
I'm very disappointed that I can no longer access the files I've purchased. I hope this is fixed very soon.

Is there a way to have some sort of stereo mix audio input for mac?

Is there a way to have some sort of stereo mix audio input for mac? also so i can have a voice over?

Actually, after scouring the web, I see that RogueAmoeba also has a free utility called LineIn which simply sends the audio in to the audio out and doesn't interfere with other programs like iTunes!
On the other hand, after downloading and trying it, there is a noticeable latency between what goes in and what comes out.
The latency is in the computer, not the software. Most of the latency is in the A/D and D/A conversion.
You need to connect the analog input to the analog output directly to get zero latency.

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.

Macbook pro for live music performance / power fluxuations

hello,
I am looking at buying a MBP for doing live music performance and djing.
Here's my question: I often play downtown, where the power is flaky at best - I know that if I unplugged the MBP, power fluxuations would be irrelevant. But what if it is plugged in? Would I still need a quality voltage regulator to smooth out the voltage fluxuations? The RME audio interface is very picky when it comes to power.
Thanks,

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.

Audio input for guitar

Hello,
The intro video says that I need to connect my guitar to an audio input. For now I'm just interested in using the Macbook for producing songs with my electric guitar. What devices do I need? What if I want to play the electric bass (instead of the electric guitar)?
Thanks!

it depends what kind of quality you're expecting. you could try just plugging the guitar straight in:

anyone looking for a high quality recording would want a digital interface:

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.

Need Help Syncing Live Music Video with Studio Recording

Hi.
I'm trying to put together a 'music video' using live video footage and studio recorded audio. The live footage was played at a different speed than the studio recording. Any hints on how to get this to look good?
Can I pick a bunch of points in the song, say the start of a verse, set markers, and stretch the video between the markers to try to get it close? (I think I've done this before - but it was years ago..) Will the transition from slow video back to regular speed look funny? I do have other footage that will get spliced in at times, but maybe not enough to use at every transition.
I'm thinking this is going to be really difficult to accomplish. Any ideas to make this easier would be appreciated.
Thanks!

My suggestion is to try Fit to Fill: this edits a video clip to a predefined section of the timeline (e.g. using IN and OUT points in the timeline) by stretching it or shrinking it to fit that section; the speed of the clip will be adapted accordingly.

Airplay only streaming audio portion from iTunes music videos

ip5, ipad2 & 3 all current f/w & Apple TV2 :
Just all working correctly a little over a month or so ago. Now, can only get audio portion from music videos when Itunes Match is turned ON. Downloading music videos to local device & turning off Match on said device allows for proper a/v playback. Other: going into itunes/purchases and clicking on any purchased video will properly play to ATV2. Videos played via safari, youtube, other apps, also play just fine.
I've rest all devices, including router, nothing. Also restored AV2 & ipad3 just to make sure that the most recent firmware update to all devices was not the cause; result still the same. Friend attempted to play a music video they had on their iphone4/ipad2 and they too couldn't play a purchased iTunes Music Video properly.
Airplay is turned on on all devices.
Do people think this is a bug in the backend of Match or other? any help would be great, thank you.

What you want to do is, unfortunately, not possible. If you want to listen to just the audio for those songs you'll have to buy the audio tracks.
Regards,
Michael

Making a Live Music Video with Final Cut Express

I'm trying to make a music video for my band. We have filmed 1 of our performances using 3 video cameras. Is there a way I can sync on Final Cut Express 4 all the 3 videos with the music I have also recorded, so that I can see and choose out of the 3 what's the best at any given time?
Any help appreciated!
Many thanks,
Max

This is actually a feature of FCPro. FCE was not designed to do this, however there is a workaround.
First, place each video on its own video track. Then adjust the positioning of each video track relative to the audio so all the video tracks are in sync with it and, by extension, with each other.
Then you have to resize & move each video in the Canvas so you can see all 3 of them at the same time in the Canvas window. You can do this by opening each video in the Canvas, turn on Image+WireFrame and then resize & move each video as desired. This is much easier if you just use Piero's free QuarterPIP plugin instead of doing it manually.
Now you should be able to play the timeline and see all 3 videos in the Canvas, sync'd to the audio. From there you can pick & choose where to cut from one video to another. Just keep in mind that video on higher tracks will obscure video on lower tracks, so you will have to actually cut out portions of your video on tracks v2, v3 etc that you don't want to use. When you are finished, undo the QuarterPIP filter (or the manual resizings you originally did) and you should have your finished video.
