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?

Hi PrimeSequence,

How can I export an audio track with just the effect signal without the audio?

I want to export dry audio tracks and their effects signals as separate tracks. For instance a track with a reverbed snare would be one track with the dry snare and one with just the reverb.
I know from people who use Reason that it's just a box you need to tick, but I'm struggling to find out how to do it in Logic. Surely it must be a way?

I don't remember Reason being that straight forward, but the obvious way to go, is to mute all sends and bounce.
Then solo the reverb channel, in aux, checking it isn't shared by other sources, and bounce. You should have a dry and a reverbed signal, at your convenience.

Syncing your ipod with your computer that has your iphone already on it

Can you sync your ipod with your new computer that your iphone is already on if you have had the ipod for a long time and had a different computer at the time

- Connect the iPod to the computer and transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

How to sync music video with XDCAM footage

Anybody have a recommendation of how to shoot a music video in 24p on the Sony EX1, and make sure the on-set playback matches the original music track for editing in a XDCAM EX 1080/24p timeline?
Is it like the crystal sync playback with film, or the 60hz playback with 60i video? Something else maybe? Slow it down in post?

Get your audio source and sample rate convert to 48K naming the export appropriately.
load that into an FCP sequence set up for what you're shooting, start your sequence at 59:00:00 first hit of audio at 01:00:00:00
you may want to make a countdown eg snare drum cross stick etc for it in soundtrack pro. make sure the countdown matches the tempo of the piece. You'll need this if the piece starts with sync audio of the musicians playing.
put a slug and a timecode generator filter on it. you'll have to fool with the offset to get it to match your sequence time.
note the Time codes for each of your setups and place a marker at each setup then back up a few seconds and place a start marker for each setup.
Playback off the FCP sequence starting a few seconds early. shoot the screen with the TC numbers and without going out of record shoot the next setup. Playback audio from this sequence. Obviously a laptop is the way to go here
this sequence you used is now your master. drop in your shots according to the TC burn-in you shot
turn tracks on and off to select what you want and cut the piece.

How to revert to original, the extracted Audio Tracks with SoundBooth?

How to revert to original, the extracted Audio Tracks with SoundBooth?
I have installed the Adobe "MasterCollectionSuite-CS5"-ITA with PremiereProCS5 and SoundboothCS5.
I made a few test with PremierePro Audio clips and used the option "Make a rendering and extract" with Soundbooth.
I want know, after that operation:
- Exists an option (a shortcut) to revert automatically the audio tracks from the extracted Soundbooth clips to the original audio footage?
- In other words, I want return to the original audio timeline situation, prior to make the extraction with Soundbooth. Is it possible?
- I know just one method:
Click and drag the video clip from timeline and release the clip in the "Source"Monitor window. After that I can drag the video+audio at the same start-and-end point of the source and put it into timeline, at the same place...
But with this method I loose the applied effects and transitions from the edited clips in the timeline...
Exists another method?
Thanks!

Dear <http://forums.adobe.com/people/Shai+Schcolnik> Shai Schcolnik
After you have edited the Audio file in Soundbooth, you should:
1)      Select the Original Footage in PremierePro > Project Folder
2)      Select with RIGHT Click the Video+Audio Clip in PremierePro Timeline, and in RIGHT Click Menu choose “Replace/Substitute with clip” > “From Folder”
3)      Now you can delete in PremierePro > ProjectFolder, the named Audio File “…_Extracted.wav” edited previously with Soundbooth!
The new one is your original footage!

Hello,
Yes, add such effects using the insert slots on the track strip.
Click on the slot, choose your plugin from the list. Double click to bring up its control window to set parameters.

RED footage has a restriction on metadata. We are looking into what it would take to get full metadata support into our system, but you cannot tag red footage at this time.

After Effects CC Render Errors with RED footage and ProRes 4444 proxies

Working on an 8 Core, 2008 Mac Pro with 16GB of RAM running Mountain Lion.
I just upgraded to After Effects CC and I'm having a whole bunch of errors ...
-- the 'MooV' file is damaged or unsupported
-- error getting package info for file "..." ( 3 :: 164 )
-- Error (4) reading frame from file "..." ( 86 :: 2 )
I'm trying to make ProRes 4444 proxies from RED files (sometimes as big as 4K), which will eventually end up in a 1920x1080 project. I'll make a 4444 proxy, work on it all day with no problems, then when I try to render (or save a RAM preview) any one of the previous errors will show up.
My projects seemed to work just fine fine in AE CS6, and I've worked with RED footage in AE before with little issue. I've completly restarted my system, re-installed everything, worked off an external drive, worked on my internal (software) RAID, rendered to local and external hard drives, adjusted my multiprocesser render settings (on and off), cleared the cache ... nothing is fixing it.
Does anybody else have any ideas? Or insight. Or anything?!
Thanks for your time,
Eliot

I'm working on a MacbookPro, Early 2013, OS X 10.8.4, and I'm having the same exact error:
However instead of using RED footage, I'm using a 3rd party plugin called Element 3D and Optical Flares from VideoCopilet.net.
I'm not sure if the bug is related, I'm just wondering if anyone else has any idea on how to fix this problem. I have a fresh install of CC so I can't downgrade to CS6.
Another error popped up during multiple trys in export:
In case the old file was actually corrupted, I checked all my backups that worked perfectly fine with CS6 in the past, and I get the same error when I copy them over to my hard drive on my mac.
My current setup is:
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16GB
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
I really don't want to recreate this entire file from scratch. That would be a lot of hours wasted... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How to export STP tracks WITH edits, names, changes, envelopes back to FCP?

I sent my fcp sequence/movie to a STP multi-track project. Sweetened and edited my audio tracks in STP. All good. Now I need to export those changes back to my FCP sequence, NOT as long AIFF files, but with all the audio files that make up those tracks, with their cuts, handles, file names, and STP changes and envelopes, so that I can access them in FCP (where I must finish the project). It seems like the program should have been designed to do this... but I am hitting a brick wall. Please help. How can I achieve this?
I used conform, but it only seems to conform the STP project, NOT the FCP project to the new audio edits. I do what the manual says.
I tried exporting all tracks to AIFF and to open it within the FCP sequence, but it only gives me the option to open as a new sequence. The result is that the image sequence is correct, but the audio from STP is in long tracks with no edits, no file names, no envelopes, no handles.
Unfortunately I MUST finish my project in Final Cut Pro, and export OMF files for work in a professional FILM (not video) audio facility. They cannot use AAF files exported from STP. And STP doesn't export OMF files. It is NOT an option for me to finish my sound work in STP because of the film-specific facility where I must finish my soundtrack- which in the end goes to optical for use on a film reel.
Thank you for any help someone can give me !

That's one of things you simply cannot do. Conform is as close as it gets. But, you cannot export a STP in to FCP and maintain all the track info like you can the other way around. Part of the problem is that STP is referencing audio tracks FROM media crated in FCP. You'd have a situation where FCP is referencing audio from STP . . . that's referencing FCP audio. It doesn't work that way.
It's too bad the facility can't use the AAF file. That's the only real option.
Sorry.

Audio Tracks With Partial Clips

The current project I am doing runs 104 minutes, with one standard audio track (A1). The first and last 20 minutes need an audio commentary, and the last 10 minutes need a third audio track (it's an alternate mix, basically).
Rather than creating three separate timelines (obviously, for space reasons -- not to mention efficiency), I have the main audio program on A1, as well as partial clips in A2 (commentary) and A3 (additional audio). However, since A2 and A3 only apply to part of the program, I am using Chapter Playlists (YAY for these!). As a result, A2 and A3 are audio tracks that have clips in parts, but a whole bunch of blank space in the middle.
I wasn't sure if this would work or not, but it seems to, with one small problem -- I just noticed that when listening to ANY of the audio tracks, when a point in the timeline is reached where one of the other audio tracks hits a clip's in point, the audio skips. It's just one small skip, but it's an annoying little imperfection.
For example, if A3 is blank until its clip begins at 95 minutes in the timeline, and I am listening to A1 (main program), then when I reach the 95 minute mark the audio skips. This also concerns me because it makes me wonder, are there any other problems that may arise when playing this DVD in a variety of players. Does anyone know if I might run into other problems?
I thought that by only putting the audio clip and not filling the rest with silence, I would save space on the disc. (My understanding is that a full audio track - even with silence - would take more space because it's encoded at a constant bitrate).
Am I going about this the wrong way by putting on the partial clips? Or should I just put on full clips that simply have silence in the unused portions -- and more importantly, if I were to do that, would it take up more space?
Thanks!

Did you hear the audio skips on a burned R or RW disc, or just in Encore's preview?
I would expect that "silence" would take up space on the disc. You could test for yourself to see just how much space by creating a test timeline with appropriate silence-d audio tracks, forcing a manual transcode of the audio assets and then taking a peek at the Project and Timeline panels to see how much space they take up.

Hi Brian,
Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
Thanks for your help though!

I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. How can I fix it?

I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.

iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone. You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone. You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account. iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac. When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account. You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar. If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.

Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music? I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music. My other computers are no longer working. Not sure how to get my purchased music back onto my ipod?

Hi kimcinma!
Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

HT202213 how to sync an ipad with two libraries

How do I share my itunes library between 2 devices? Dragging the music over to the device isn't doing the trick...

Not quite sure this is what you are after, if not you'll need to explain further.
Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.
