How to maintain audio continuity with segments of bad video

Anyone have any editing tricks for keeping good audio footage when there are interspersed segments of poor quality video? For example, I have 10 min of contiguous audio that I don't want to disrupt. Halfway through, however, I moved to camera to a different perspective and the time during the movement is nauseating footage of the floor. Obviously the pros using multiple cameras could simply splice in footage from another camera for the time period during which the main camera had bad video footage. I'm only using one camera, however. Any tricks for keeping the audio intact, but 'hiding' segments of bad video? fade in and out of a photograph/still image? maybe I need a good reference for video editing. thanks in advance for any/all thoughts.

Always shoot a bit of 'spare' footage at the beginning, and whenever there's an opportunity (..I know this is being wise after the event, but it may be of help for next time..) ..e.g; if it's a wedding, shoot guests arriving, or people sitting attentively, or bits of the building (..stained glass windows, etc..) ..or if it's a theatre or a play, ditto ..so you've got relevant, related bits which you can drop in during camera moves.
As Karsten and Beverly say, by using "Paste Over at Playhead" to insert extra material on top of the audio, you automatically keep the sync between picture and sound, because iMovie removes exactly the same length of original video as the length which you're "pasting in" to replace the bad footage ..thus keeping sync.
If you don't have "..a photograph/still image.." to drop in, you could always create a still from some of your video footage (put the Playhead where you want it, then use ShiftApple'S' to Create Still Frame), maybe soften it or crop it a bit so that it doesn't look exactly like a frame from the video, then do another couple of similar stills, dissolve between them, and then use that set of stills/dissolves to replace your bad footage.*
'Paste Over at Playhead' is the way to keep it in perfect sync without having to desperately calculate timings, etc..
*P.S: It's best to Export that sequence of stills-with-dissolves to QuickTime as 'Full Quality' so that it becomes one whole Clip, then re-import it, and that way you can position it exactly where you want it, without any of its separate components (stills, dissolves) coming apart, or being interpreted as individual elements.

How to maintain Quota arrangement with respect to production verson

Hi,
I maintained Quota arrangement(without splitting) with respect to the two different production versions of a material and when i checked by running MRP. quota arrangement is not working. the system allocates the demand only to the active production version(which has the current validity period).
I guess i am missing something, can some one tell me how to maintain the quota arrangement with respect to production versions.
we have a requirement where a material is manufactured in house and will have 2 different production versions with 2 different validity periods in material master and they need the quota arrangement to work on this material in M.R.P for 2 different production versions.
I have maintained the quota arrangement usage= 3 in material master.
Thanks
Mahendra

Hi,
for the req qty to be distributed between two differnt production vesion, you might have to activate splitting in MEq1.
Give the min qty as 1, so that you req qty could be distributed between two differnt production version.
Pls conifm if it is through or if there is any other solution .

Put the button click into an action listener and build the new frame there. The code I have below isn't exactly what you're doing (it's amazingly oversimplified), but it's probably similar enough to get your wheels turning in the right direction.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class sample
     public static void main(String[] args)
          JFrame frame = new JFrame("Sample");
          frame.setSize(400,400);
          Container content = frame.getContentPane();
          content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          final JTextField text = new JTextField(10);
          content.add(text);
          JButton button = new JButton("Send");
          content.add(button);
          frame.setVisible(true);
          button.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
                    JFrame myframe = new JFrame("Results");
                    myframe.setSize(200,200);
                    Container mycontent = myframe.getContentPane();
                    mycontent.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
                    String mytext = text.getText();
                    JLabel label = new JLabel();
                    label.setText(String.valueOf(mytext));
                    mycontent.add(label);
                    myframe.setVisible(true);

How to sync audio tracks with RED footage that has no reference audio?

So I shot a short film for my thesis project and the damn crew didn't record reference audio. We shot on a RED camera and had a sound guy with a shotgun mic. So we have crystal clear audio tracks from a separate sound card and tons of RED footage with abosolutely no sound.
Lucky we did use a slate, so I know I have to go one by one and manually sync all the audio with the right video tracks. Though I am unsure how exactly to do it. Once synced, will I have to edit from the timeline? How can I reimport the synced footage into a new project so I can edit from my media bin?

How to associate audio file with progress bar

Hi all,
I have a case in which I need to associate an audio file witha progress bar. What I want to do is to able to play a audio file which will say " Process started.." Process going on" and process ends, and it shoud be synchronized with the progress bar. Is there a way to do this .
Please let me know
Thanks,
Ankit G
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you referring to a LabVIEW horizontal/vertical progress bar, which basically has a U8 integer constantly written to it? Is this in a loop as it fills up?
If so, there is an entire palette that allows you to play waveforms. As you're writing to your progress bar the number, you can keep checking what that number is (event or case structure), and when it hits particular values, you play particular sounds. Here is a screenshot of that palette.

How to keep audio synchronized with video when exporting?

I have a few .mp4 source files that I'd like to combine into a single file. I've done the editing and exported. When played, the audio is misaligned to the video. As a test, I've tried exporting a single clip rather than joining a few and the same thing happens. I end up with audio that is misaligned to the video after export even though they are perfectly synched in the source video. As another test I've tried exporting a single clip to .mpeg rather than .mp4 and the audio stays perfectly synched with the video. It seems the misalignment occurs whenever I export to .mp4. I'm obviously missing a fundemental concept here. Can anyone shed some light on it for me? Thanks in advance.

Hi Rafeek,
One solution is to set the column width after manually or programmatically refresh the PivotTable, for example:
Private Sub Worksheet_PivotTableUpdate(ByVal Target As PivotTable)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Columns("A").ColumnWidth = 10
End Sub
Another option is to set the column width, then protect the columns from been updated by the user, before refreshing the PivotTable, unprotect the worksheet. For example:
Public Sub LockColumnA()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Columns("A").ColumnWidth = 10
ws.Columns("A").Locked = True
ws.Protect "123"
End Sub
Public Sub UnprotectWorksheet()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Unprotect ("123")
End Sub

Youtube streaming on IPhone 4. Unwatchable video stuttering. Audio continues to play flawlessly. Video is completely buffered. Fix?

Hi there,
I've been having issues streaming Youtube videos on my IPhone 4 for awhile now, but it just recently escalated. Videos stutter like crazy right from the beginning, even on 360p or 240p. The video is buffered. The audio continues to play flawlessly, even when the video is moving at 1-2FPS. My connection on my IPhone is a solid 25Mbps down and 10Mbps up. I've tried closing all other apps, soft-resetting, restarting the Youtube app, and even watching video on the Youtube mobile site. The issue also seems to extend to all streaming video viewable on my IPhone over the internet, regardless of the website. This has only been an issue since iOS7.
Please help in any way you can.

Ryan

Flash video goes green, but audio continues with 10.1

Ever since I upgraded to flash 10.1 I can be watching a video from any flash site and it will go all green, The video driver crashes but I continue to hear the sound. If I change resolution, the video comes back temporarily. I am on version 10,1,82,76 and have the latest Nvidia drivers installed. This happens on two 64 bit windows 7 machines.

Does anyone know how I can record continuously with my Ipod Touch 5g?

Hello everyone, I'm trying to make my ipod touch as a dash cam for my daily drive. I wanted to my ipod to atleast record for 40 minutes while driving, but it keeps stopping using the regular camera app. Even with dash cam apps, they still give me problems, or they are set to certain recording time. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Too little for what?
Do a test to see how longe 18 GB lasts. Based on Apple_iOS4Life 180 MB/min that would get you 77 minutes.

How to maintain master data with 3 different IS components

Dear Gurus
We have got 5 companies and we are implementing SAP with 3 IS components.
1) We are implementing IS-EC&O (DIMP).
2) Implementing IS-DBM (Dealership Business Management system)
3) We have IS-Real Estate.
The companies will have shared services such as HR, group Procurement and Finance, This functionality will reside on a main ECC 6.0 system.
Can someone explain:
1- How and where would master records reside?
2- How are the various databases will communicate?
3- Can all the 4 above systems share a single database?
Thanks in advance

On the master ERP 6.0? on an MDM server? there are various possibilities.
2- How are the various databases will communicate?
The databases won´t communicated but the systems on top.
3- Can all the 4 above systems share a single database?
They can share the same database software using MCOD (http://service.sap.com/mcod) - with all pros and cons but you will need to have the same master data in all instances though.

How to maintain one vendor with two addresses

Hi All,
I have to set up vendor master data for a given vendor in this way that when a PO is created, the user could select from several addresses.
I have assigned two vendors with different addresses as a partners (Ordering address - partner funcion) of the main vendors(this two are from different account group with assigned partner scheme and partner functions "Ordering address" and "Invoicing party").
After that for the main vendor I have created two vendor subranges which includes in their partner function screen the new vendors as ordering address partner function. I have also created an info record for the main vendor in which one of the subranges is include.
During the creation of the PO, when I entered the vendor number I can make selection between the 3 vendors, I am selecting one of them (not the main vendor) in the partner tab I can see it as ordering address but when I go to Address Tab the address of the main vendor hasn't change, although item level I can see in the material tab that it has took the correct sub range.
It is not very common to maintain several addresses for one vendor,and having in mind the fact that the address can be changed manually, but has somebody of view met this problem before?
Thanks
Desi

Hi,
I understand you that you have multiple ordering address.If a vendor is having multiple orderig addreses system pops up the list ordering addresses at the time of creating a purchase order. In this list you can select one of the ordering address.
In the address tab you cannot see the ordering address. You can only see the main vendor address.
In the purchase order print layout you need to make the changes so that it select ordering address partner address which was availabe in the purchase order.
I hope this will resolve your problem. If this helps award me the points

How to play audio tracks with mainstage

Hello, newbie to mainstage-looked around site but didn't find too much.
I have a gig in a few weeks need help fast please!- Looking to play either multiple, or even just one long 30 minute track in mainstage and then play with fx live. terminology in user manual doesn't seem to say much about this. can i run an audio track in mainstage as a patch or something. Or run logic/audio track(s) through mainstage and then put fx on it? thanks

I have not used an FC-300, but I have had a close look at its specifications. I don't think it is going to be a lot of use as a controller for MainStage.
You have two 'expression' pedals; these can be assigned to control any two parameters in any patch eg two channel strip volumes; one bus send level & one FX parameter, etc. Useful, but limited in scope.
The remaining pedals are foot switches. That means they will each allow you to do the following types of action:
change patch up or down
bypass any FX, synths or channel strips in a patch
start & stop Ultrabeat
any other similar type of action.
What do you want the buttons to do?
To use a foot switch to control a button:
'Learn' a footswitch to a button (to begin with, stick to switches 1 -5. Ignore 6 - 10 until you are comfortable with the first five switches)
when you have 'Learned' the switches in the Layout screen move to the Edit screen
Here, take each button in turn & assign it to an action:
e.g
button 1 to Ultrabeat start/stop
button 2 to Delay Bypass
button 3 to 'Next Patch' (set at Concert Level)
button 4 to 'Previous Patch' (set at Concert Level)
I don't think that you will be able to do much more with the FC-300 than that. I hope someone will be able to prove me wrong.
NB It doesn't matter what CC number the switches have in the FC-300. Once you have assigned them to a button, the switch should carry out whatever action the button is assigned to in MainStage. All you need to do is to make sure that no two buttons have the same CC number.
