How to sync external audio to clips and KEEP them linked?

I have never been able to do this. Very simple...
1. Shoot some video with a DSLR and...
2. Record audio with external recorder, such as an H4N.
3. Sync then in Premiere Pro (I have CS5)
4. Keep those files associated with each other so that you do not have to keep them in your timeline at all times.
Unfortunately, this is a mystery to me. I'm always stuck with everything in my timeline or I will lose those now linked files.
Below is a video I shot of my computer screen and Premiere Pro so I can explain it visually.
Yes, there is likely an easy solution. But I haven't found it. Please note that I have CS5, no plans to upgrade and no money to do so.
Thank you. 

Provided that you are happy to lose the synch with the original audio of the clip, this can be done.
Right click on the original clip and select Unlink from the drop down menu.
Highlight the video and the new audio by clicking on both whilst holding down Shift, and R click.  Select Link in the drop-down menu.
If you want synch for both audio clips, then the only work-around that I have found is to duplicate the original video clip in a track which is turned off, so it does not show, and link the new audio to that.

  • How can I copy multiple text clips and paste them separetly?

    Vista OS

    The "clipboard" is a Vista function, not a Firefox support issue. I don't use Vista and with WinXP I use an external program called Clip Trakker to save multiple clipboard entries for later recall. Try this forum for help: <br />

  • Linking Clips to Projects and Keeping them linked when re-arranging events.

    I have uploaded all of my videos in I movie and created several projects in rough form as I plan to work with those projects over the upcoming weeks. The video's I uploaded as events were 25 years old and of my events spanned a few years. When I created my projects--I used pieces and parts of events (clips) from several different events. In short, my events don't align at all with my projects. Now I'm wanting to maybe rearrange my events to better align with my projects (i.e. I've put all birthday parties into one projects and I want to move birthday clips into one event.)
    I'm concerned that if I move the clips and arrange new events--I movie will not know where to find the clips that align with my current projects. Will this be a problem.
    A related but different question is as follows--I've backed up my events onto a portable hard drive. If I decide to delete these events altogether from my hard drive---and plug in my portable drive---will I movie find the clips making up my projects--even though they are not on the drive they were originally on when they were selected and placed into the project.

    What I am asking is if anyone knows how to link these together in a less cumbersome fashion.
    Yes and no. Basically, you were caught in an changeover enhancement. iMovie '08 only had the option of movie Events whereas iMovie '09 can move or copy either or both. In my case, the Projects were still on my number one internal drive but my Events had been previously moved to my number two internal drive. I simply opted to "move" both the a single external drive which worked successfully without have to first "restore" the Events to the number one drive first which seems to imply there was sufficient pointers available to restore/update locations by simply "moving" your Projects to join your Events on the external drive. But I tend to agree that having a "re-link" option would be a nice enhancement request for iMovie '09.

  • How to sync phone to (new) computer and keep everything on it the same?

    I want to put music onto my iphone (the music is on my laptop, and on itunes).
    When I connect my iphone to my laptop it asks me to set it up as a new iPhone.
    I cannot risk losing any of my data on the phone (eg. contacts, messages, notes, apps, etc).
    The phone is connected to my icloud account, and everything is checked to be saved on icloud.
    On the computer there is no option to restore from the icloud account.
    Do I restore from the icloud account via my phone (and then will it sync the music onto my phone via computer?)? Or set it up as a new iphone via my laptop?
    The end result I need to have is for the phone to remain the same (apps, information, contacts, etc.), except with my music (that is on my laptop) playable in the music app.
    Thanks so much in advance for any help that could be given!

    This is assuming all the music on your  iPhone is from iTunes, if not, get iTunes Match.
    When your phone is connected to the computer, right click the icon of your phone under "devices" and choose "transfer purchases"
    This should pull everything you have from the app store/iTunes store on your computer
    Transfer pictures over manually using image capture, iPhoto, or from your autoplay option on a windows computer
    Once everything on your computer matches your phone, you can go ahead and sync
    Whenever you sync from the computer, remember that "syncing" pretty much means your phone will mimic the computer
    iCloud will back up your text messages too. Don't worry. If you want to go the iCloud route, your music on your computer would either need to be iTunes purchases or you need to be using iTunes match.
    To restore from an iCloud back up, you'd have to erase your phone by going to settings>general>reset>erase all content and settings and choose "restore from iCloud back up" when the phone prompts you. Note: this will restore your phone to factory and kick it into the set up assistant, so triple confirm that iCloud user in
    I'd recommend the easy route and just getting your computer's music coded over to iTunes purchases  (with iTunes match) if it isn't already. That way, you can just download it on your phone through the iTunes app.

    If you haven't synced you phone with iTunes before the first thing iTunes will do is delete all iTunes media (apps, music, podcasts, etc.) from the phone, then replace it with the media in the iTunes library you are syncing with.  Establishing syncing for the first time without losing your data has to be done carefully.  This guide will give you the process for doing so: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  There is a related guide here as well: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991.  However, as covered in these guides, only music purchased from iTunes can be transferred from your phone to your iTunes library.  Transferring music from other sources from your phone requires 3rd party software such as Touch Copy.
    Other options:
    If all your music is purchased from iTunes, it can be download directly to your phone for free without syncing (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).  Another option to get your music without syncing is to subscribe to iTunes Match (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).  This will scan your iTunes library, match songs already in the iTunes store and upload any songs in your library not in the iTunes store, then make your entire music library (up to 25,000 songs) available to download from iCloud directly to your phone.  (With iOS 6 due out next week on the 19th, iTunes Match songs can also be streamed to your phone without downloading and taking up space on your phone.)

  • Syncing External Audio with Video on iMovie

    If syncing external audio with video on imovie, once successfully syncing the 2 is it possible to permanantly merge them so that I can continue trimming and rearranging clips without having to continue to re-sync the audio and video after every change I make?

    In Final Cut Pro X, yes. In iMovie...no.
    The workaround in iMovie is to sync your external audio to the video clip. Mute the audio on the video clip so all that is left is the good audio. Then use SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. Choose Movie to QuickTime Movie and under Options choose Apple Intermediate Codec as the Video Codec.
    Then save this clip in a place you can find it. Finally, import this new clip back into your event.

  • How to import 2 separate audio tracks and keep them separate?

    I need advice about importing two separate simultaneous audio tracks and keeping them separate. I am importing footage from my Sony PDX-10 DV Cam.
    In the field I had wireless microphones on two people, a man and woman. I interviewed them separately. The man was on channel 1 and the woman was on channel 2.
    While shooting the man, for example, I could also hear the open mic of the woman who was maybe a block away talking to some friends. But her distracting sound was on CH 2 and in playback on the camera, if I dial down the volume of CH 2, I no longer hear the woman and I have a clean audio track, Ch 1, of the man who is being filmed.
    I'm trying to import the interviews into iMovies with only the relevant track turned up and the distracting track turned down. When I listen to the audio from the camera on my headsets, I can get clean sound of just the person who is on camera. But the FIREWIRE seems to grab both tracks, even though in playback i'm listening only to the clean track.
    Does anyone know how I can send just one audio track to IMovie? Any way to prevent the Firewire from importing both Ch 1 and Ch 2 at the same time?
    I only want the sound that's relevant to the person who is on camera. And I know that in the camera, it's possible to listen to just the track from one channel. I'm hearing just one track through the headsets, because I can sucessfully dial down the other track. That's the way I want to import the footage to iMovie. But the FIrewire seems to grab all the sound it can find and carry over both CH 1 and CH 2, which means I'm left with a jumble of sound that is not useful.
    And finally, if the firewire needs to grab both tracks, is there a way to assign them to two separate tracks in iMovie, so I can then simply turn one of the tracks off?

    nope.
    iM handles the two stereo-channels as "one track", and offers 3 tracks of stereo.. (the one inside the video, 2 additional tracks...)
    I would... :
    * export clip(s) share/Quicktime/Expert Settings/aiff..
    * in a designated audio processor (Garageband, Audacity, ...) seperate the two channels, creating two "new" ones, stereo, where one channel is located in the stereo middle..
    * import these two "stereo" files into iM, into Track2 and Track 3 ...
    .. boom!done

    You need to give more information about what you want to happen to the audio when you freeze or time remap the associated video.
    Is it synch video?
    Is it music?
    Is it Voice?
    Generally .. you have to cut and design the audio around the video effect.

  • How can I sync photos from my PC to my I Pad 2 and keep them in the folders (albums) they are in?

    On my PC, all my photos are in folders named for topic or year and they used to sync that way onto my I phone and I pad. Now when I sync to my I pad, they are all jumbled up into the wrong folders (albums) - really mixed up in no particular order. Can anyone help with how I can sync and keep them in the folders they're in on the PC?
    Thanks

    Thanks - that helped. But when I tried to sync all my photo folders to the I pad 2, I tunes would add some but not all of the ones that were marked to sync, end the sync, then the I pad 2 would hang with the wheel turning, saying it was still syncing photos, and it would not end and the remaining folders of photos never appeared. I finally had to sync and re-sync over and over by adding one folder of photos at a time, then another and another.

    What sort of info do you want to get off the phone ? If it's iTunes purchases then you should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
    If it's music from other sources then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Syncing a device with your computer's iTunes will copy content to the phone from your computer, it won't copy things back from the phone.

    How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

    You can upload them from Mac to iCloud and then download on the iPad. They only directly sync between iOS devices. The Mac version of Pages has more options that are not available on iOS. If you use a font that is not available on iOS it will change the font. Some layout options aren't available either.

  • HOW DO I RENDER A STILL IMAGE AND KEEP QUALITY

    I'm still in search of help with why High Res. still pictures lose quality when I render.   The images are at 300dpi, roughly 1900x1200 (they vary in size).   I input them fine.  Then, when I go to put them on the timeline - I get a pop-up window asking me to "AutoFix" this clip?  When I say "yes" it drops down the quality and it becomes grainy.  If I say "no" the clip remains looking the same - great.
    But - then when I go to "render" that clip, in the timeline - it drops down in quality and becomes grainy - AFTER I render it.
    HOW DO I USE STILL IMAGES - AND KEEP THEM HIGH QUALITY WHEN I RENDER?
    My Project Settings are; 1920/1080  ---  30fps DROP frame  (should it be Non-Drop?)  --  Capture is HDV and Video Rendering is only marked at "Optimize Stills"
    I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on a Windows 8 PC
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    thanks

    joeyMPI
    OK. Let us give this a try. If I go off course anywhere along the line, please let me know.
    1. Open Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 8 64 bit to the Expert workspace.
    A. Under Edit Menu/Preferences/General
    Remove the check mark next to "Show all do not show again messages."
    Set the "Timeline render quality (valid for HD projects)" = "High quality, Slow speed"
    Leave a check mark next to Default Scale to Frame Size.
    B. Right Click the Edit area monitor, select Magnification and make sure it is = "Fit".
    C. Right Click the Edit area monitor, select Playback Quality and make sure it is = "Highest".
    D. Setting the Project Preset Manually to Get the Sharpest End Product Photo Display
    Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings
    In Change Settings, change the project preset to
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR [email protected]
    Close out of there.
    In the new project dialog that appears, make sure that you have a check mark next to
    "Force Select Project Setting on this Project". Close out of there.
    E. The project preset that has been selected has a 16:9 aspect ratio, and it will direct the program to set
    up a 16:9 space in the Edit area monitor for editing. So, best results are expected with photos with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
    If an imported photo does not fill the Edit area monitor space, you can try to scale it (zoom in) just to the point of
    getting rid of any black borders. A quick scale can be done by clicking on the monitor screen, and dragging on a handle
    of the photo's bounding box which has appeared.
    But, now for the moment of truth..
    a. You should not have seen any helpful Fix messages.
    b. If you render the Timeline content by clicking on the render button above the Timeline
    what you see should look the same or better before and after the render.
    Also keep in mind, that having to scale up too much can create pixelation.
    300ppi or dpi has no significance in video. Pixel dimensions are the focus. And here, video is 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. In
    this specific case 16:9. It would be a good idea to plan ahead on the sizing of the photos beforehand. As far as I know the perk of enhanced
    sharpness in the end product is associated with just the one project preset that I pointed to in the workflow.
    But, right now, our target is on the maintaining the quality of the photos in the Edit area. And, I realize that you realize
    that no matter how great the resolution of the imports, the imports will be reduced to the sizing characteristic of the export
    preset.
    We will be watching for your results. Thank you for considering the suggestions.
