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 sync music/video from 1 computer and contacts/calendar from another?

I have set iTune's iPhone preferences on both computers to "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones".
On my laptop, I have only checked synchronization for contacts (address book) and calendar. On my Mac Pro, I have only checked music and video.
In spite of these settings, when I sync to the laptop, all my music and video is deleted from the iPhone! The settings are still set correctly: music and videos are completely unchecked on the laptap iTunes synchronization settings.
The only workaround is to re-sync to the Mac Pro to pick up the music/video, after syncing my contacts/calendar on the laptap. But this takes forever because all the music has to be reloaded. Not only that, but I cannot sync iPhone to laptop while on the road without giving up all of my music and video.
Does anybody out there know if this is a bug? Is there a workaround? Or is there some other hidden setting I am not aware of to control this?
Thanks!

IIn my original post above, I said "I cannot sync iPhone to laptop while on the road without giving up all of my music and video". So while your suggestion for the opposite sync works, that doesn't solve my problem.
When I am not at home, especially on a trip, I have my laptop with me and my iPhone. All my contacts are in the laptop but while out and about I am entering contacts and syncing them later to the laptop, but that ends up deleting the music, including MY MUSIC which is the point of the trip: being able to share my compositions with anyone, anywhere and capturing contacts as I go.
Yes, syncing on my laptop for contacts only and then on the tower for music works but that simply is a useless type of sync for me, because while on the road, I would have to choose between backing up my new contacts and wiping out all music OR not syncing contacts while on the road and hoping the iPhone doesn't get messed (which has happened twice now so this is a reasonable fear) in order to keep my music.
I do appreciate your suggestion and those instructions could be useful for someone else who needs the opposite of the sync I need.
Now I understand why some people say it works and others say it doesn't: it depends on which computer gets sync'd first!
At this point, I can only write a letter to Apple and request that they fix this problem in the next release!
Thanks everyone!

How to sync music/videos from iphone to computer - lost ext hard drive

I recently lost my external hard drive where I was storing all my music, videos and photos. Long story, but the backup was not occurring. I have precious video and music on my iphone (some original, not purchased) that I don't have the data for, but the iTunes libraries are still intact. But the libraries are pointing to a drive that doesn't exist. I have purchased a new hard drive that has the same drive letter as the original one. Will iTunes create a new folder and sync my music and videos to the same place, or do I need to recreate exactly the same path? Also, if something like this will work, will it sync, bringing the files from the iPhone to the new external hard drive? Please, can anyone help?

Thanks for your reply, KiltedTim! After reading on some additional resource sites and evaluating suggestions and reviews, I did try a 3rd party software which worked beautifully! The software allows the user to store the data into different folders by content type, including subfolders, too. I completely understand Apple's theology to make the sync a one way deal for copyrighted content, but when the unthinkable happens, it sure is nice to at least have an option to preserve anything personal and legal that you have on your iPhone that you lost on your hard drive, mainly music, videos, voice memos, text messages and notes. I am completely respectul of the protection of copyrighted music...I am just very glad that the people that created the software "had my back" this time for my precious family memories and the time saved trying to reimport all my music CD's!

Syncing Music/Video with two laptops

I've had a 17" MacBook Pro running OSX 10.4 for about two years now and I have my iPhone 3G synced up to it.
I just got another MacBook Pro 15" OSX 10.5 as part of my University course.
I wanted to know if there was anyway to sync music already on my iPhone onto my new Mac?

No way supported by Apple or provided by Apple.
The iphone is not a storage device and it does not support disk mode, like an ipod. You can sync iphone to only ONE itunes library at a time. If you sync to a different machine the current music on your iphone will be erased.
You can copy your itunes library from your old computer to your new one, then sync.

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 sync Music & Videos from PC to iPad/iPhone?

The music and videos in my iTunes in PC cannot sync to my iPhone and iPad.
The iTunes in my iPhone and iPad is empty. My iPhone and iPad sync everything successfully back to my PC.
It is weird. Any idea how it works?

The iTunes in my iPhone and iPad is empty.
You are tapping the Music icon in the Dock to access your iTunes purchases correct?

It can't be empty if you can sync from the devices to the PC.

How to sync music bought with an old apple id with a mobile me icloud

I migrated from mobile me to icloud using my mobile me account (which is different to my itunes apple id account) and I can sync pictures, contacts and ical via the cloud to my mac, iphone and ipad using the mobile me @me.com id. All devices are signed in with the mobile me @me.com log in.
However, my purchased music won't sync when i buy it with my itunes apple id. Do I have to re-sign into icloud using my old apple id to sync it all? If so what happens to pictures and ical.
I started off by creating an account using my old apple id on the iphone (which prompted me to create an entirely new me.com address), but I changed it to the @me.com log in and deleted it from the iphone because it would not sync pictures etc.
I think I did something wrong at he very start due to the confusing prompt for an apple id when creating the original icloud account.
Any help appreciated

You should continue to use your itunes account ID for iTunes and your iCloud ID for syncing services such as calendar et al.
If you want your iYunes purchases to download to all your devices, check automatic downloads in settings > store on you iOS devices and iTunes preferences > Store in iTunes on your mac/PC.

How to sync music and video from iPhone4 with iPad mini?

I have music and video on my iPhone4 and I just got my iPad mini yesterday. Does anyone know how to sync music and video between two devices?

Apple doesn't enable you to copy certain items from your iPhone to your computer e.g.
- songs that have not been bought in the iTunes store
- photos from photo album (only allows photos transferred from camera roll)
This is frustrating if you have lost these items on your computer - e.g. accidental deletion, hard disk failure.
Its not that its not possible - just that the functionality is not included in iTunes. Its an example of Apple prioritising revenues over customer experience - hey they can do what they want with their reputation but should take care not to frustrate customers too much.
However the Senuti (free) and PhoneView ($20) allows you to transfer items either way between computer and iPhone. Ive tried both and they work great. These are for OS X and there are many other applications available online for both Windows/Mac that allow you to treat the iPhone as just a plugged in disk too. You can try iPod Photo Liberator (Mac & Windows) iPodCopy (Mac and Windows Versions) Keith's iPod Photo Reader (Mac only).
Good luck

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!

How do I find out which computer I sync music, videos and photos on?

I am about to update my iPhone to iOS 4.2 but it tells me that to preserve my media, I should apply this update on "the computer where you sync music, videos and photos". How do I find out what that computer is?

You should be regularly backing up then you can just move your library to a new computer and sync there.
If you don't have one then you will have to transfer purchases (grab a 3rd party program for non-purchased content) and then sync to the new computer

How to sync iPhone 3G with MacBook (previously syncing with Windows)

Hi, I just bought a my first Mac ever, it the brand new MacBook 13" and so far I'm loving the whole Mac experience. I have a question though. I have an iPhone 3G and until now I sync it with my other Win machine. Everything is ok there. However, I'm now thinking to start using the iPhone with my MacBook but I don't know how to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing the info I have in the iPhone. I'm not concerned about the apps, music or videos because I know to transfer that kind of info to another machine (i did it already with my iPod touch and the iPod classic and everything went fien, I didn't lose any data in the process). However, with the iPhone I don't want to lose the contacts and the saved SMSs. Can anyone tell me how to sync the iPhone to my Mac easily without losing anything? btw, I have no songs in the iPhone, just one free app (midomi). I heard that I can automatically get the app in any other computer as long as I use the same iTunes account so the server remembers that I "bought" it.

thxs Scott, that is actually what I thought that would happen but I wasn't sure. I will give it a try later. Btw, when you say: "make sure to backup the info", do I need to do a backup manually or, is it ok if I just connect the iPhone to the old machine so iTunes can make the automatic backup?
cheers.
Nah, just sync it with the Windows machine before you begin. Odds on you won't need it, but if you do, then at least it is there.

Any suggestions for editing Music Videos with Multiclip?

Hi there. I have been reading about the new multiclip feature in FCPHD5. Sounds as if it would be perfect for editing a performance music video with multiple run throughs. In fact it almost seems too good to be true. I was writing to ask if anyone has tried this and what problems they encoutnrered or what workflow they could recommend. I haven't used multiclip before (or editied many music videos either) and would appreciate any suggestions.
This is my idea so far.
capture offlineRT the whole tape, make subclips with an angle setting of each take. Then edit the multiclip in a timeline which includes the song as an audio track. I thought I would synch with inpoints manually set to the beginning of the songs first riff in playback (as there was no clapper on set that day, curse them)
I have questions about onlining as well and how to make it a less tormenting nerve racking experience. Maybe its just me but the thought of trashing all the media, duplicating projects and recapturing makes me break out in a cold sweat. But I'll deal with that later.
Thanks for your thoughts, observations, suggestions.
Have a merry Christmas
Sincerely
Peter Stenhouse

The plan was to sync up the mixed PT audio to the video track. However the club screwed up the recording and I was left with using the audio from one of the tripod mounted cameras that I placed a stereo mike on.< </div>
General advice for live performances:
1. Depending on a computer to make the only recording is a silly idea. Use tape or a minidisk. Take a line feed off the main board and record it on at least one of the cameras.
2. There is nothing that will substitute for missing timecode better than a good countdown. Insist the band develop a creative visual and aural timing cue that all cameras and mics can see.
3. The most important part of shooting a performance or a lipsync gig for mulitcamera assembly is preproduction. The bugs, glitches and gotchas are all well known and thoroughly documented on thousands of band blogs.
4. There is no excuse to go into a location shoot unprepared and carrying a solid backup plan for all of the stuff that will go wrong.
5. A full, all-camera, all-personnel rehearsal is a good idea.
6. The band's lighting guy knows nothing about video. Give him some help or give him the day off.

THANK YOU, I really need your help...

If you want iTunes to update your music, videos, or podcasts when you connect your device, you should sync automatically. If iTunes is open and you connect your device using the USB Dock Connector cable, iTunes will sync with your device.
1. Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
2. Click the button with your device's name, below the Spotlight window.
3. In the main iTunes browser window, select Music.
4. Select Sync Music. You can select "Include music videos" if you want to sync Music videos to your device.
5. Your device needs to have enough free space to sync the content that you selected from your library.
6. Click Apply. iTunes will sync the content you selected to your device. The iTunes LCD will show the sync progress and notify you when the sync is complete.
7. To disconnect your device, find your device in iTunes and click the eject icon.
