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.

  • Sync of Video and Audio streams

    I got a main project to make a video conferance system. And i'm not sure how to sync the video and Audio streams. (Audio need to have higher priority than video)
    Video is all moust real-time but audio is around 0.5 sec delay at the fastest.
    I realy need to find out how to sync them since its one of my main subjects in the project.
    So if anyone know how to, plz let me know.

    Hello,
    I try to implement a videoconference in Java with JMF. At the reception, audio and vid�o aren't synchronizing. I'm looking for a solution to resolve this problem because i think in this kind of application, audio and video tracks must be synchronized. I'd like to know when and how can i do the synchronization : at the capture, before transmission, or at the reception ?

    It is also possible to chat One Way if the other person does not have a Mic: replies will have to be typed in a Text chat.
    No Camera and No Mic will cause iChat to End the chat with "No Data Received for 10 Secs"
    Summary
    For any sort of sound to a PC using AIM, (Talk in PC or Audio in iChat) the Mac will need a camera. The other person can have a Mic and then live chats with sound both ways and Pictures (Video) the other.

  • How do i start video and audio at the same time in ios

    How do i start video and audio at the same time in ios?
    I have tried a lot of different ways but i cant figure it out?
    I can get the sound and animation (timeline) to start playing.
    There is no problem to start the video and the animation at the same time.
    But i cant get both the video and the audio to start playing when i press a button.
    It works great in OSX and on windows?
    Here is an example:
    // insert code for mouse click here
    // Play an audio track
    sym.$("_1")[0].play();
    // Play a video track
    sym.$("host")[0].play();
    // Play the timeline at a label or specific time. For example:
    // sym.play(500); or sym.play("myLabel");
    sym.play("marker1");

    If the game has sound in it (and possibly even if it doesn't) it may be overriding the Music app and causing it to stop playing - in which case there is nothing that you can do about it.

    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.

  • How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
    Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
    Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

  • Syncing separate video and audio

    My audio was recored separately from my video. (We used a clapper on set similar to a film shoot) After I have synced the video and audio on the timeline, is there a way I can marry both so whenever I open my video clip from the browser, the audio stays constantly sunk.

    Merge Clips works most of the time but I have found the only dependable way to make sure audio and video stay together forever and ever is export it self-contained. For me, using DV, that's not a big deal.
    Also to consider, your audio file may drift over time which may require breaking things up into 30-90 second clips.

  • 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 ...

  • How to I import video AND audio from DVD ?

    I have been sent a DVD on a holiday from a friend. I want to edit this. When I try to import it into iMovie I can import the VTS0104.VOB file, but this gives me just the images and NO sound. How can I get the sound too?

    There is another way of importing DVD footage into iMovie 08 directly, without using any third party software, but you have to trick iMovie into thinking that it is not a DVD. I had hours of home video footage from my old 8 mm camcorder which i recorded on DVD's, and from here succesfully imported into iMovie. Both video and sound.
    Try this:
    1. Insert your DVD and quit DVD Player, when it pops up.
    2. Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility). Select the DVD inserted, and click on "New Image" (on the toolbar). Save the disk image to a convenient location (eg. desktop).
    3. Mount the disk image -> Double click on the file, or select open with "DiskImageMounter")
    4. Open iMovie 08., .... and "Camera detected, scanning content ... " message will appear. Happy editing!
    I believe Apple does not advertise this iMovie feature, because of potential copyright issues, ... but importing from home made DVD's has nothing to do with it. I wish Apple will come to realize that, and make our life much easier. Certainly, there is a way to tell the difference between DRM protected and home made DVD's.
    Cheers!

  • Time code finder to auto sync separate video and audio

    Hi All,
    Trying to see if FCP has a tool that would allow me to type in the time code from my digital slate to instantly sync separate video & audio. Shot a low budget feature on a RED and digitally recorded audio. We did setup the RED to get reference audio but now I need to sync each scene and take up to the primo audio.
    As far as I know, FCP doesn't have any such option but I hope someone proves me wrong.

    This is kind of off the top of my head, since I usually sync using the "dumb" part of the slate, but here's a workflow I'd try. I'm assuming here that the timecode from your digital slate matches the audio timecode.
    1. Select an audio clip in the bin. Choose from the menu Modify/Timecode...
    2. Copy the Source TC value into the Aux TC 1 row. You might have to turn on some checkboxes on the left side. Make sure the format and the rate are the same for both.
    3. Open the video clip in the viewer and find a frame where you can see the smart slate clearly.
    4. Select Modify/Timecode... and enter the timecode value you see in that frame in the Aux TC 1 row. Again, be sure you're using the right format and rate.
    5. Select the two audio and video clips that you want to sync. Choose Modify/Merge Clips... and synchronize using Aux Timecode 1.
    You should then have a new merged clip with the audio and video in sync. The scratch audio that came with the video file will be there too, so pay attention to your audio patching and be careful about which tracks you actually cut into the timeline.
    I can't say for sure if this is faster than just marking inpoints at the clap on each clip. Typing in all that timecode could be hazardous to one's health.

  • Syncing/Merging Video and Audio, Getting rid of production audio

    I'm driving myself crazy over here thinking there must be a simple solution I am overlooking. I have clips with production audio that came from the camera. I also have separate audio wav files that came from the dat tape. I want to sync the video with the wav sound, lose the bad camera audio and create a new clip that references back to the original material. Is this possible? So far, all I have been able to do is create a merged clip with all of the audio files (from camera and dat). Thanks for any help.

    I think I finally figured it out. (Yes, I am very determined) A few steps, but worth it if everything
    links back to original material and makes editing easier...
    So, what I figured out is:
    1. Put take with video in the viewer and select an in mark. (I used sticks) Cut video only into the timeline.
    2. Put audio wav file in viewer, select the in and cut audio into timeline.
    3. Check sync.
    4. Select both the audio and video in the timeline.
    5. Command L to link the audio and video together (important step I
    missed earlier in my travails)
    6. Now select and drag the audio and video from the timeline directly into a bin.
    This creates the clip I have been tearing my hair out about....with only the audio that I want, no extra tracks.
    Thanks to Jerry for his help and suggestions.

  • Premiere Pro CC - can I waveform sync with *multiple* camera and audio clips a la Pluraleyes?

    Many of us use Pluraleyes to sync DSLR and 2nd audio WAV files using waveforms. (No timecode.)
    The ability to sync in Premiere Pro CC was mentioned in several feature lists, but I only see the ability to sync one clip at a time.
    Is there no way to line up several MOV and WAV files, with different start / stop times and no other match other than waveform, and sync them automatically in Premiere Pro CC in a sequence (or by creating multiple merged clips)? In other words, can I mimic the functionality in Pluraleyes in this new version of Premiere Pro?

    Currently, the best way to do this is by selecting all the clips in the project panel, right click on them and select Create multi camera source sequence.   Sync via audio, choose your audio sequence settings (if you want audio from both clips, select all cameras) then hit ok.  Multicamera is smart enough to do this batch process and make multiple MC Sequences with only the clips that match each other.  Unfortunatly merged clips or timeline sync will only do one at a time.  If you wish to have this behavior in merged clip and/or timeline sync, please file a feature request:  https://www.adobe.com/go/wish

  • Recording Video and Audio at Same time with simultaneous sync

    I want to record a keyboard performance into garageband and at the same time record the playing of that performance with my video camera. Then I want to create a movie using the music from garageband and the video from the camera. I was thinking that if I can sync the video and audio when I'm recording the session, then that part is taken care of. Or, maybe this is easier than I think it is?
    Is there a way to do this so that I can use the garageband record performance and have it synced to the video on the camera?
    I don't want to use the audio from the video camera because the performance that is captured in Garageband will be much better and I can do editing of the individual notes in GB.
    In the end, I just want to make a movie and/or podcast of the performance.
    I'm a newbie regarding this, but I did search the forums and couldn't find anything specific. Mostly it was about importing video into GB3 and then syncing new audio. I'll basically have audio and video from the same performance in two separate locations and I want to bring them together perfectly in Garageband.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Okay. I got the video and audio all together. I told you I'd link to it when it was up.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxssYpUNJm8
    There's also a copy of it at http://www.myspace.com/bonjimmy/
    And as a quick side comment, even though I uploaded the same video to both YouTube and MySpace, the MySpace version is much better. YouTube must do something to the video after it's uploaded.
    What I learned doing this project:
    I recorded the video first (which gave me the sequencing of the piano performance) and then I dubbed the audio in later. However, there wasn't a good way to sync the video and the prerecorded piano, so there are some spots where the dubbed audio vocal isn't accurate to the video. I'm not sure what the pros do for this. I was hoping I'd remember how I sang for the video but when a couple weeks go by before re-doing the audio, it's about impossible. I tried, though.
    I remember working with an old 4-track and smpte to a sequencer a long time ago. With the way it is now, it's pretty cool that you can record digitally and mix and match and everything falls together perfectly as long as you have a place to match the video and the audio. It's pretty cool.
    What else???
    Does anyone have suggestions that would have made it better? Also, if you have suggestions on my performance or whatever, I'd love comments, but you can do that on the linked page.
    Thanks again for all your help. (The point of the video is because I'm thinking about getting back out there and doing some more playing... I'm looking for a band or something else interesting...)
