How to autmatically link SMPTE audio to video?

I'm looking into audio and video options for a documentary and could use some help here. Right now I'm looking at getting a couple the HVX200s and possibly a Edirol R-4 Pro. I've done a few searches here and on many other sites, but I don't really understand how you link the audio to the video in a setup like this. A long time ago I thought I read there was an automatic way to do this so you wouldn't have to point each video clip to its corresponding audio clip. I have read about Sebsky tools, but that seems to be for film rather than a video set up like this.
So, is there a way to quickly a easily do this? We'll be shooting a lot of material for possibly a year or so we'lll need something quick and reliable. Also, would it pose a problem to FCP that the R-4 Pro will have 4 tracks of audio?
Thanks ahead of time for any help!

It can work with cameras that accept external timecode. The camera's you've piced don't have this feature. They can be synced to each other only as far as I know.
Panny makes a stepup camera from this that does accept external TC coming. They showed it at NAB... http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ModelDetail?displayTab=O &storeId=11201&catalogId=13051&itemId=97602&catGroupId=14616&modelNo=AJ-HDX900&s urfModel=AJ-HDX900
Gotta say though it's not P2, but it is HD... That's actually part of the beauty of the 200. They don't make another P2 HD camera either. also doesn't sport the cinemodes that the 200 does.
But ya know? this may well be the least expensive HD camera that accepts external TC...
Your idea of running the 4 channels to the cameras is very inventive. I'd do that in a heartbeat as long as you can stand the setup you'll need to monitor this audio at all times. You'll want a mixer around for sure. And sure saves about 40,000 bucks. eh?
You going to shoot 2 camera all the time?

Adobe Captivate 7 Project How to make Rollover cations, audio, and video work in HTML format?

Adobe Captivate 7 Project How to make Rollover cations, audio, and video work in HTML format?

Honestly, I don't even know why this is an option. The conversion to Flash is completely unusable.
I have exported some things to Flash, and since I program in Flash all the time I was able to manipulate to work to some degree. Most text captions are built with multiple elements and completely fall apart.
Sorry, I can't be of more help.

How do I synch the audio and video to play together in iMovie? And why is it not synched?

My iMovie the video is not synched to the audio. It could be about two seconds off. And sometimes the sound just stops. I tested it on Quick Time Player and burnt it to a dvd and it does the same thing. The sound then stops halfway through besides my ilife sound effects. How do I synch the audio and video to play together in iMovie and dvd? I taped the movie from my digital camera and it hasn't done this on imovie before. Any Help?

How do you link two audio clips to one video clip?

Hi guys,
I want to think multiple audio clips to one video clip and aint know how to do it! I found this page on Adobe knowledge base:-
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b 1038518aef7-7f40.html
It says you can do it but I don't think it explains how? Can anyone provide me with the simple steps required to link two audio clips to one video clip? Many thanks.

Do you mean manual syncing? I've been reading this thread about workaround, which aren't working for me: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/21236
But the question they are asking is the same one I am asking. Isn't this a typical situation, having multiple mics for one camera? For example, if someone filmed a concert with one camera but used both the camera audio, and ambient mic, and a mix from the board, then that would be 3 audio tracks with 1 video track. I'm in a similar situation, and I'm finding it hard to believe that FCPX isn't equipped to edit this way. There must be some way to get one video clip (with reference audio) to sync with four audio tracks.

How to fix problems between audio and video sync?

Hello, I have this old camera DSR 200P and I'm trying to import to my final cut pro x. The importation success well but at the end the syncro between audio and video doesn't work. How can I fix it?
It's possible my mac doesn't accept this kind of camera or should I change any options of final cut?
Thank you

I use to edit footage for a client that was recorded on a DSR-250 (successor of the DSR-200) and every time, every single time, the audio sampling rate would not match my Sequence settings of 48khz, 16bit. The sampling rate of the captured video was always off by a slight amount. It might be 47999.9 one time and 48000.1 the next time ... but it was never at 48000 as it should have been. I chalked it up to Sony using cheap synthesized crystals (frequency generator) to control the rate.
Anyway, the fix was to export the captured clip using QuickTime Pro with the export's audio settings to 48khz, 16 bit.

Linking new audio to video

I'm wondering if any new info is available on this... I am working on video in several small projects, each of which is synched to an imported audio track. . Sort of exporting and reimporting, is there a way to LINK the new audio to the video, so I can select sections and bring into a new project? There is a post on here about deleting unwanted sections of a video so that the remaining audio remains synched, but that's not what I want to do.... I want to synch the ENTIRE audio track to the existing videos, then select portions as needed for the new project.
I hope that makes sense...
Thanks for any help!

Shane,
Thanks for your reply. It seems I may have misundertood some of your original instructions. I have been copying ("select all"; copying and pasting into a new timeline) my sequences as you suggested to prevent the unexpected nesting I was getting.
I have been also utilizing the Command-drag method, but apparently I've been doing it incorrectly. I have been Comm.-draging marked sections of my copied sequence directly into the timeline. I gather by your reply I should be Comm.-dragging into the canvas (which I have done from time to time) My question is that I have found that I can successfully Comm.-drag into the insert window of the canvas and get the expected clip in the timeline, but when I use the overwrite window in the canvas in the same manner I get a clip of a slightly different color in my timeline. I also find that I'm losing my audio to video linking and my stereo pair linking when I Comm.-drag. Can you explain where I'm going wrong? Why do I lose the linking, and why does it appear that a different version of the same clip comes into the timeline if I Comm.-drag into the insert window in the canvas as opposed to Comm. draging into the overwrite window of the canvas? Also, I do quite a bit of Replace editing and it does not seem to me that Comm.-drag Replace works either. Can you halp me with that too?
Thanks again for your patience. I really appreciate it!

How does one link flash player to video (e.g. in BBC News)

In looking thru BBC News, I receive the message that Adobe flash player is required to view video. I have downloaded and installed the flash player and it is sitting in Applications. How do I link the application to the video - preferably once and for all?

Flash doesn't appear in Applications, what did you download and more importantly, where did you download it from?

How do I combine separate audio and video files into one Quicktime movie?

I have DVDs that contain separate audio and video files in folders marked Audio_TS and Video_TS. I would like to know how to combine these files into a single Quicktime movie. Is there inexpensive or shareware software that imports and unites these files reliably? A simple solution is preferred, rather than getting into complex media editing applications.
G4 eMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Doug - the VOB files (in the VIDEO_TS folder) are MPEG-2 files. MPEG-2 have the video and audio mixed into the one file - there are no audio files to combine.
The rest are directions to a DVD player (e.g. the BUP and IFO's) . The AUDIO_TS folder is used for DVD Audio discs and on video DVDs is always empty.
Many people use Handbrake or iSquint to convert VOB to iPod video though MPEG Streamclip is the best - open the first numbered VOB and it will prompt you to open all of them. ALWAYS fix timecodes when it asks. You can then edit/trim and export to MPEG-4.

How to synchronize multiple, unorganized audio- and video clips

I'm editing a video with audio recorded by an external recorder.
I've been given a lot of unorganized files and I wonder if there's a quick way to synchronize them all without knowing which audio- and video file that fit together.

I've been pretty amazed by how well the synchronize clips command works. You might take a chance and select all of your audio/video files at once, right click and choose Synchronize Clips.

How to demultiplex the merged audio and video streams

Hi. I'm currently working on a video conferencing program. I successfully implemented the program using threads to run the audio and the video clients and servers. The problem with this is that the delay for the transmission of both media is a little too great. So now, I'm trying to merge both media into on DataSource, so then I don't have to worry about sending audio and video into 2 different ports and RTP sessions. I know how to merge the audio and video streams, but I was wondering how to extract each media back after receiving the merged audio and video streams. Any ideas? I used the createMergingDataSource(the_DataSource_array) method to merge both streams. Thanks.

I am working on the same problem. Is there any solution yet?

How can I combine the audio and video files from youtube downloads when they don't automatically combine?

I'm using YouTube Video and Audio Downloader. Sometimes the audio and video files combine automatically, sometimes they don't - remaining as separate " DASH - .m4a and DASH - .mp4 ". It used to be that when this would happen I could open up a "ffmpeg" window which would allow me to "manually" convert them to a combined .mp4 file. It was a "drag and drop" type of interface. For some reason I can no longer access that ffmpeg combining function. I tried clicking on ffmpeg.exe. I tried re-downloading ffmpeg several times, both from the Downloader options tab and from the ffmpeg website.
Thanks for your help.

Sounds like a question for the developer of the video download add-ons that you have installed.

How do I synch project audio to video ??

I recently digitized my old vhs tapes using a Roxio converter. I brought the files into iMovie11 and then split the events into smaller projects. With some of the projects, the entire project audio track ended up being out of synch with the video. How do I re-synch them ?? This is my first experience with iMovie and it looks like fun once I learn the details.
All help is apprecitated, Thanks

I suggest...
First insert a blank clip at the beginning and end of your movie, so you will have some room to move the sound around. You can find a blank black clip under the Maps Tab on the middle toolbar.
Now, select your clip and right-click/Detach Audio. Now you can drag the audio right or left.

Linking/Syncing Audio and Video

I think I'm just on the edge of understanding if this can work:
I have a rough cut of a few clips using on-camera audio. I also recorded with a separate audio recorder. I want to somehow link the secondary audio to the primary audio and the source video clips, so that the secondary audio will be added to the rough cut without me having to go and re-sync each edit with the corresponding secondary audio. Is it possible to sync additional audio to a source file and have it reflected in an edited sequence?

Lining up each camera clip with the associated audio in its own sequence and then editing using those sequences instead of the original clips is one of the better ways to proceed given your starting point.
Audio drift shouldn't be apparent over reasonable lengths of clip (say up to 10 or 20 minutes) depending on the stability of the clock in the audio device. Many of the past reports were due to some manufacturers using slightly off-standard audio rates which Premiere then assumed to be correct and hence generated out-of-sync issues over around 30 minutes or more. Not your problem here.
If, when you check the audio sync over a whole clip, you find it is OK at the start but out at the end, then setting a marker on both video and audio near the end and using rate stretch on the audio to change its length by a small amount to line up the markers should give good enough sync for the clip.

Upgraded to mac os x maverick 10.9.1. Any suggestions on how to fix problems with audio and video bugs?

Having problems with video and audio delays for mac ox x maverick 10.9. Are there any ways to fix this?

I also noticed that if I wiggle my mouse around while I watch video streams the video&audio is significantly smoothier.
