Can FCP X auto sync a clip ?

Hi there,
I describe my problem here:
There are 10 singers singing 1 song. The first singer part1, the second singer sing part2 .... until the last singer 10 sing part10.
First I record only the audio of the full song using some audio interface. There is no video for this, with the product I have is the .wav file of the full song. I then import this .wav file into FCP X.
Then for the video, I took 10 video shots separately. I play the .wav file loudly for the video to capture with the singer 1 lip-sync his part1, then I proceed to video the 2nd singer lip-sync his part2 with the .wav file loudly blast ... until video 10.
The question now, is how to place the clip of Video1 to Video10 to sync correctly along the full song of the .wav file ?
Thanks

Go to the Extended View in the FCP X inspector and give each different video a Camera Angle name - then when FCP X prompts you, select Camera Angle for the order of your angles.

Thanks Andy,
I have watch the Ripple Training.
But my problem is different bcos, if you see from the description of my problem, all the 10 parts are different parts from each other (so there is not much mutlicam features).
All the 10 parts added up in sequential will be the one full song.
As far as I understand, the 10 parts are sync with the main song.
But you know, in songs, there are chorus which are the same. If part 2, part 5, part 8 are the section of the videos with the chorus, if you sync it according to the audio, part 2 videos could be sync together with part 5 audio of the the main song (bcos the audio are similar although the picture/video are different).
Thanks

  • Can I disable auto-sync on Shuffel iTunes 7.3 Vista OS

    It seems odd that everytime I make a change to a single song on my iPod, iTunes performs a sync.
    For example, I want to uncheck several songs loaded on my shuffel, but iTunes performs a sync after each time I de-select a check-box.
    Can I disable automatic syncing after each change to a song or podcast on my shuffel?
    Thanks

    As long as your shuffle is connected and showing up in iTunes, that's the way it works...

  • My itunes wont auto sync my iphone 4 after i connect it to itunes. But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day.

    But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day and i was forced to use back a backup which i did in my old laptop 4 months ago. do i have to reinstall the itunes? will my backups be corrupted after i sync again? pls guide.
    P.S/ its the latest version of the itunes whenever i did the backups.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup? 

  • Hi at the moment my ipod is on manual sync mode. Is there any way of changing this to auto-sync without losing the music on my ipod or library? Possibly more importantly is there a way I can transfer the ratings from my ipod onto my i-tunes?

    This is so I can delete music from my ipod knowing its rated on my i-tunes so I can then see later if I want to re-add it based on its rating

  • How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices

    How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices.

    Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

  • I have an older IPOD that I'm having trouble getting new purchases on to my IPOD. I use to have a source list on the left hand side of screen where I dragged my purchases to and they downloaded.  Can't find place to check manual vs. auto sync.

    I have an older IPOD classic that I'm having trouble getting new purchases from library to IPOD. I use to have a IPOD icon in the source list on the left side of the screen. Now that is all gone. My purchases are coming up as recently purchased but can't figure out how to get them transferred to IPOD.  I also can't find how to confirm setting is for manual not auto sync as the first computer I had blew up and am now using a different one. I haven't had any of these problems prior to the updates.

    G'day Mate,
    As an avid flight simmer I bought a new soundcard my previous was
    an audigy 2 platinum ex with an external module I really liked but somehow all of a sudden I was getting a screech when using FS9 sor I opted to change to the present. Well stone the crows my soundcard was auto updated with new drivers and well you guessed it the soundcard did not show in the sound video controllers window No I have just joined this forum and it looks like3 you may have the answer for me . I am now going to do as you suggest and see what happens.
    I shall return with the outcome of my dilemma.
    Many thanks for your sound advice ( pardon the pun)

  • Since installing the latest Itunes my phone does not auto sync as before, how can I set this up?

    Since i updated to the newest ITunes my phone does not automatically sync as it did before. I am not able to locate my pictures or music or apps to set to auto sync. I receive no message that tells when the phone was last backed up to ICloud. I have several songs on ITunes under ICloud that are in the waiting status. This is all confusing. I have clicked on every available option.
    Thank you

    I'm afraid at this point a backup can't be created anymore and the phone has been damaged too much by the water.
    You'll have to get it replaced and use the latest existing backup you have.

  • Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5?

    Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5? My iMatch is turned on and I can direct downlad my music to the iPhone from the Cloud; however, I want to direct import All of my music from iTunes to my iPhone 5 via the connecting USB cable and it is not working. Yes, I have tried restarting both devices, and no autosync is not working nor is is it providing the avaialbile option to select music in iTunes on my Mac to then sync. Please help. Thanks

    Please disregard. I figured it out. Answer for anyone else running into this problem: You have to turn off iTunes Match on both devices. Apparently, if you activate iTunes Match it deactivates your abiltiy to direct sync.

  • All the songs on my ipod shuffle were deleted because of auto sync. Can the songs be recovered anywhere or are they gone?

    I plugged my ipod shuffle first generation into my work computer (PC) and itunes deleted all the songs because of auto sync. I had checked the box to not sync with the itunes library because there were no songs in the library. But I guess auto sync was still turned on, and it "synced" all the songs off of my ipod. Are these songs recoverable anywhere or are they just gone?
    Thanks,
    Frustrated User

    The 1st gen (and 2nd gen) iPod shuffle does not have a mode where it automatically syncs to your iTunes library.  It uses manual loading all the time (or the Autofill feature).  So iTunes did not delete its content because of automatic syncing.
    However, it can only be used with one iTunes library at a time.  So, if you connect it to a different computer (with a different iTunes library), its existing content is erased.  You should get a warning so that you can back out.
    If you started using the shuffle with a different iTunes library, the songs that were on it are gone.
    NOTE:  The 3rd and 4th gen shuffles are different, and work more like the other "big" iPods.  If it is set for Manually manage music, you can connect it to a different iTunes library without erasing the existing content.

  • Can't reset itunes/ipod to Auto Sync

    I currently have my ipod set to manually manage music. In ipod options, I unclick Manage Manually, I get a window asking me if I'm sure, I say yes, then hit apply. And the Manually Manage box gets checked again. Why is it reverting to that? I want to auto sync now to keep up with my play counts. anyone?

    Can you do a restore on your iPod? If so, try that. It should restore and default back to auto updating or at least allow you to make the change.

  • Can't add a dissolve between clips in FCP 4.5

    I do animations and we shoot hundreds of stills with a digital camera to record a "shot" in a scene then import them all to FCP 4.5 with the still image duration set to 2 frames. This gives a sort of 12 frames a second speed to the animations which is ok for our purposes.
    Then we export the timeline as a qt mov file and use that like it was a single video clip in another sequence in FCP to build up the final project.
    When I try to add a dissolve or any other video transition between two of these clips, it won't work.
    If there is a gap between the clips, I can add a dissolve at either end of the clip and this looks like a fade out or fade in, but if the clips are touching then I can't add any transition.
    I have also tried nesting the sequence with all of the still images into a new sequence so that the stills are treated as a single clip in the new sequence, but this doesn't solve the problem and I can't add transitions between those clips either.
    The computers are G5 Mac Pros running Tiger 10.4.10 and FCP is version 4.5
    Can anyone please explain what is wrong or how to fix it?
    Thanks a lot for any advice.

    One way to do dissolves is to put the clips in different video tracks and overlap them (that is, handles by the duration of the "dissolve" you want to implement.
    Then use an opacity ramp to fade on out as you fade the other one up.
    I find that doing dissolves this way means that I don't have to set the in and out points with a transition in mind, and it easy to slide the clips around to get the exact effect want.
    To do opacity ramps, you need to set the sequence setting "timeline options" set to show keyframe overlays. That will put a black line on the video timeline for each clip on each track. When dragged to the top, it is 100% opaque; at the bottom it is 100% transparent. You use the little "ink pen" to put keyframe handles on the timeline opacity line and you can then gradually increase/decrease the ramp as you see fit, including rounding the corners to make it smoother.
    As other noted, it may be easier to just make sure you have the right amount of "handle" (video beyond the in and out points) and do one of the built in dissolves; I find that if I don't like the timing I've chosen, it is more work to fiddle around with the in/out points (for example, by putting the clip in question on another video track and dragging the ends out or in).
    Experiment with different methods and use the one which works best for you.

  • How can I manually update videos while all else is on auto-sync?

    Please forgive me for asking this again, but I need to free some much needed HD space on my MacBook Pro, so I want to get rid of the videos in iTunes without deleting them from my iPod, normally done via the manual update setting. But I do like the auto-sync of everything else (music, photos, etc.).
    Can this be done?
    Thanks for helping!

    Bump!
    No one?

  • How can I stop apps from auto-syncing on one of my computers...?

    Hi all
    I have an ipad 2 that I sync to my MacBook Pro at home. I also have a few other computers on the same iTunes Store account. One of which is my work iMac 27inch (Lion and iTunes 10.5.2). Every morning when I turn on iTunes it trys to download the apps that I have downloaded from the appstore on my iPad. Some of these are quite big and I certainly dont need them on my work computer. I have turned off auto-syncing of everything on the iMac and iPad but every morning I have to manually go to the Downloads on the sidebar and pause/delete the active downloads. Even if I delete them they reappear the next time I open iTunes. Very annoying...??? Any ideas...???
    Richie

    Hah.... That was quick...! Seems to have worked too. Very easy. Annoyed with myself that I didnt see that.
    Thanks a million

  • Audio files won't auto-sync in Premiere CC - synchronize option is grayed out

    I just started using Premiere CC and am trying to synchronize three cameras and one additional audio source using the new auto-sync feature - which syncs by waveform.  Even if I'm just selecting two audio clips on the timeline, right-clicking on the clips brings up the menu with the "synchronize" option grayed out - not available.  Why should this be?
    I'm mixing clips from two Canon T4i files with audio, multiple Red clips with audio, and an mp3 file from an Edirol recorder.
    Premiere just doesn't seem to want to even attempt an auto-sync with these files. Even if I unlink audio from video and then try to sync audio - no "synchronize" option.
    I'd really appreciate any ideas or suggestions anyone might have on this.
    Rob

    It just doesn't work with separate audio clips.  This is known.  But I've never seen the option grayed out completely.  Not sure what would cause that.
    You're sure all the camera clips have audio?  You can put them in the sequence and see the waveform?

  • How do I keep FCP from auto-distorting my video when I drag it into the timeline?

    FCP keeps auto distorting my video when I drag it into the timeline. It keeps setting the motion aspect ratio to -12.5, then when I set it to 0 and render, the video has lost significant quality even though I have my motion render settings to: best. I figure it is this motion distort which is ruining my quality on render because the avi from the camera is ridiculously clean and un-pixelated. How do I keep FCP from auto-distorting my video? It makes no sense that it does, because at -12.5 aspect ratio, FCP is creating a letterbox for my video. I just want the video to fill the entire canvas that I chose! There must be a setting somewhere that I have missed, but I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Please help!
    I have a video shot on my Pentax K-r that is 1280x 720p 25fps. When run it in quicktime pro, the inspector affirms this sizing. And in QTpro there is no letterbox present when the original is played.
    In FCP I have the sequence settings at:
    HDTV 720p (16:9) (which is 1280 720)
    Timebase: 25
    I have tried to turn anamorphic on, then off in the clip format settings, and also turn the anamorphic on and off in the sequence settings. No combination seems to correct the problem.
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you,
    ML

    Hi I have done some more digging and found this:
    1) In the bottom left corner of FCPX, click the film reel so that you can see all your projects:
    2) Select the project you are having problems with and then in the inspector window, click on the spanner icon in the lower right side:
    3) Finally a window appears so that you can choose the settings for the video you are using:
    Hope that helps
