Best way to merge/nest video and audio clips?

Hi there,
I really need some advice as I am currently editing a video that has a lot of extra sound effects placed in different places and it pretty much makes the mass of the background sound that has been carefully paired to the clips that I have. My issue here is that I need to place in a voice over and make sure it syncs with the visuals also, but this has made me realise that I will need to loop some parts of the clip to make it work and I dont really want to need to move every single chunk of video clip and it's corresponding sound effect manually by highlighting and then pushing towards the right to make room as I may miss something and it will wipe off some areas that I have spent so long on.
Is there a way to 'nest' my current clips with my audio clips so I can safely organise this rather than dealing with about 50 layers of audio and clips whilst I move things about to work with the voice over? Please help any advice would be very appreciated!
Thanks

Find the sequence you are working on in the Project Panel, drag and drop it on the "New Item" button to create another sequence. Now you have a nested sequence that you can treat as a single clip.

FR: Keep Video and Audio clips Linked in Multicam once razored

Here is my feature request, if you agree please cut and paste and submit to feature request!
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Keep Video and Audio cuts in a Multicam sequence linked together when using the razor tool.
How would you like the feature to work?
Whether inside a multicam created sequence, or a multicam sequence that has been pasted into another layer on a separate sequence, I want the video and audio to remain linked together when a cut is made. Currently, when I make a cut, the audio and video become unlinked and I have to first a. make all the razor cuts, then b. go and relink the video and audio clips back together. Takes an extra 30 minutes every time now.
Why is this feature important to you?
To save time and stop the long redundant process of click selecting the video and audio and linking them, over and over and over, in a multicam sequence. Obviously if I can do it manually, it can also be done in-program.

When you create the multicam sequence manually (still the best way, I think), video and audio remain linked.

Here is a Tutorial on How to sync Multiple Video and Audio Clips

Check out my Tutorial on How to sync Multiple Video and Audio Clips http://vimeo.com/28972315

Very true ! My main point was to show how easy it was to sync. I still think apple has a way to go to make this a great tool. It was fast to edit but when I want to send somthing to AE 5.5 it was a nightmare. I do I love how it organizes keywords and the color correction tools are good if you want to do it your self (check out this site http://www.colorgradingcentral.com/final-cut-pro-x-color-grading-table-of-conten ts ) it will be a great program if apple listens to all the comments but does not make it too complicated the you cant create quickly.

I am trying to use the auto audio-sync feature. When I select the video and audio clip to be synced FCPX says its syncing them and then once finished (at 100%) no compound clip is created and the video and audio file do not sync. Any help is appreciated.

Hi
In iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x)
on top menu row - Apple/iMovie/File/Edit/Cut (Can vary dep. on language - in Swedish Apple/iMovie/Arkiv/Redigera/Klipp . . . )
down Cut menu - Slow playback/Raspid Playback/Re-play in Slow Motion and onvards
Here one can select the Pre-Set speeds
Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

Video and audio clips not moving together on timeline

So every time I move my video clips in the timeline, the audio clips are not following.
I know "make a stereo pair" links up the audios, but is there any way to make the video and both the appropriate audio tracks move together?
Thanks

Link them - select the video and audio tracks and press ⌘L.

Linking All Video and Audio Clips at Once

I'm running the most recent version of Premiere CC 2014 on OSX.
Somehow I accidentally unlinked every video and audio track on my timeline (I didn't make them offline - I unlinked them so that they select independently on my timeline when I want linked video and audio from the same clip to select simultaneously).
I don't want to have to go through my entire timeline and re-link every clip. Is there a way to easily select all media and link it? I've tried highlighting everything, right clicking and selecting "Link," but this hasn't worked.
Any tips would be appreciated.

I have to start you from the beginning to make sure everything is set correctly.
Under the Edit menu, make sure "Linked Selection" is checkmarked (also Shift+L).
Once that is done, make sure the video clip is linked the it's corresponding audio in the timeline. Do this by selecting them all, and choosing "Link" under the Modify menu (or hitting command + L).
Try that and if it doesn't work we'll go from there.

How can I incorporate several video and audio clips into one iMovie project?

Hello all. Basically, I'm trying to solve a problem before it becomes one. I'm going to put together a short iMovie project for a thank-you dinner. Several people from out-of-town will not be able to make the dinner. I want to give them the opportunity to "speak" by having them put together a short video or audio clip. I then need to gather up all the clips and put them together in one iMovie project. I guess I'm looking for some assistance in terms of format, what types of files/formats to use, etc. I've done a few movies (mainly from still pictures -- glorified slideshows with music). But, I'm still a relative neophyte when it comes to the computer world. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. (feel free to point to a "How to " tutorial if there's a good one out there).
Thanks.

your problem will not be the process of 'glueing stuff together'
follow advice given here
http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/
under 'Getting started' or follow the 'Video' tutorials ...
the real task is, to make all clips readable for usage in iM ...
before making you a technician on video-codecs:
download and install the free tools Mpeg Streamclip and Perian.org
you have to relaunch your Mac after doing so...-
BEFORE adding any of your external sources into an Event, use Streamclip to manually convert to DV, or if source is HDef, to Quicktime/Appleintermediate.
the resulting files should import flawless into iM, proceed as usual.
iM 'swallows' a lot of formats, so it could be this manual conversion isn't needed ...
don't hesitate to come back here, if probs occur ...

Best way to collect all video and picture files for a project

after effects has this great feature where you choose COLLECT and basically what it does is collects all your media files and puts them in a folder. What the best way to do this in FCP?

ThatChineesYouth wrote:
As a disclaimer; I used FCP's 'Media Manager' To duplicate my original project, to remove the excess unused clips and to preserve the right to keep specific audio files within the confines of the company. The file structure of the project, PROJECTNAME, may or has been altered as a result. Sequences might have blank spaces as a result of time remapped clips being incorrectly duplicated and media names and bin structure may be altered as 'Media Manager' caters not for the organization of the original project. These might or might not be corrected depending on how i feel at the moment of reviewing this 'duplicated' project.
I make special exceptions for clients that do their best to stay on my good side. This disclaimer was made specifically for a project that I had to redo when the original editor was too lazy to make it "watchable". They said I only had to make some changes.... almost 2 months later, I technically did the project over from scratch.

Best way to work with interlaced and progressive clips in the same timeline

I´m shooting with Sony MC-50E camera in 1920x1080, 50i. When importing with Log & Transfer I can work with ProRes 422 files in interlaced mode. I have to mix the footage with video screencapture which is progressive (ProRes 422). The final videos are for web only so it should end up as progressive H264 videos. I´m getting good result if exporting to H264, 1024x576 with deinterlacing enabled, but exporting to full HD gives typical interlaced lines in the picture. How can I avoid this and what is the best solution for working with both interlaced and progressive clips?

Deinterlace in Compressor using Frame Controls, Best settings. You can reconnect the deinterlaced files to your project, if you've already edited, but you may need to copy and paste the clips in your sequence to a new 25p timeline, then Remove Attributes, Basic Motion.
When you're ready to export your sequence, use Quicktime Movie, Current Settings, Self-contained. Take that file to Compressor to transcode back to h.264.
The Apple T.V. preset is very good.

General questions about imported video and audio clips

Hey guys. I'm a new Apple convert so forgive me if I ask extremely stupid questions.
1. If I import a video file that has audio in it, am I able to separate the audio from the video? I want to edit in pictures over some of the video but keep the audio playing over it. Is this possible in FCE?
2. I've started a project on FCE and I can't hear the audio from an mp3 file I downloaded. I know I have to convert it to an AIFF file (which I thought I did, at 16bits), but I still can't hear it. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks for the help guys!

Thanks for the reply. As to my first question, I assume then when I import a video clip with audio on it, FCE will automatically split the two?
As to my second question, thanks for the link, but I already tried it and still no audio. Is there something I need to fix in the playback? I'm still not clear on what the RT tab does. Maybe it's something with that?

Combining Separate Video and Audio tracks

Hi, what's the best way to combine a video and audio tracks into a single file? We will be given the video and audio from 13 volleyball games, and each game will be coming as a file.mpg (mpeg2) video and an mp3 file.
We're looking for a way to either manually bring it in, or bulk automate a way of combining the two tracks for each game to have one file that is in a format that doesn't need to be rendered in FCP.
Thanks!

Seems like there should be some way to combine clips somewhere though? < </div>
Not if they're form separate devices or in different codecs. the MPEG2 files are the big problem, next time, have your people shoot conventional DV and use the audio interface to bring in a feed from your announce booth or radio station or whatever so it's in sync.

Syncing video and audio

I have been syncing video and audio into a sequence and using those sequences in a new master sequence. Is that the right way to do it? Is there a way to have the video and audio in a useable clip? I could not find this information in the manual, but if I missed it can someone refer me to the chapter that covers this topic.
Thank you

you can set in and out points for both the video and audio clips in either the viewer or in the browser, then select the two, right click - merge clips (or Modify/Merge Clips if you prefer the menu.)

Seeking Keynote transition triggered by completion of video or audio clip

I've searched for an answer, and not found it elsewhere, so I'm posing my question here.
In Keynote, the automatic transition from one slide to the next is a matter of the timing defined in the Inspector. One thing that seems to be missing is the ability to trigger a slide transition (or a build transition) upon the natural ending of a video or audio clip. In a complex slide, with many builds, with various timing, plus a voiceover audio clip, I seem to have to calculate the sum of all the build transitions and estimate the amount of delay I need to incorporate such that the clip completes before the transition, then it is a matter of Play & Edit to fine tune that timing. I'm looking for the ability to transition based on the completion of the clip - somewhat similar to the existing feature where a build element occurs, for example, "After Build X" (with a defined delay). Perhaps I need to be able to have multiple levels of build nesting. If anyone has solved this problem, or knows of the solution, please let me know.
The bottom line is that I am trying to get away from trial and error timing with slides containing video and audio clips.
Thanks,
Brian

Unfortunately, there's currently no solution to this problem. You can send feedback, though, through this page.

Fastest way to transfer video and audio from MacBook to TV?

Hello All,
Thanks for visiting my page. I would like to transfer video and audio from my Macbook mid-2010 (specs below), and would like to do so with minimum lag. I m aware Apple TV has a feature which allows me to do that, however considering it is connected via either wi-fi or bluetooth (not sure which) I feel streaming an HD movie or playing an MMO will cause significant lag and/or a distorted picture.
So with that said, what is the best way to transfer video and audio with minimal lag?
Also, as a part II of the question, will the picture be distorted regardless if my TV is 60 inches?
Thanks for the feed back!
Macbook Specs:
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

The easiest and most reliable option is to connect your Mac to the TV wired. Just buy a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable to connect your MacBook to your TV. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241 Image and sound will appear on the TV automatically.
If the adapter and cable are OK, you won't get the picture distorted. Your Mac will try to use the maximum resolution the GPU allows in order to adapt the picture to your TV. It may not support the maximum resolution of the TV, but picture won't be distorted
