How to trim Music to match Video track

I recorded the video of a concert without audio with my camera and the sound I recorded with professionals mics. Now I want to add the sound to the video. The problem is, that I hardly can find the right position where the movie should start, when I trim the Music. The Music track is over an hour and when I move a little bit forward with the mouse the Video track begins too late and vice versa.
I noticed, that I can click and hold down the mouse on the Music track in the trimming window afar from the yellow borders and when I then move the mouse backwards the yellow border at the beginning of the track moves to the left. When I move forwards with the mouse the yellow border follows to the right until he reaches the old position. What for is this? Can I use this to position the Video track exactly on the Music track?
Is there a way to lock the pointer while trimming the music?
Can I cut the Music track in several pieces?

How to isolate one audio or video track?

How to isolate one audio or video track? My premiere pro cc will only allow me to grab all 8 audio tracks and the video tracks at once when i import it and bring them into the timeline. When I click on one it highlights them all.

It helps to indicate what version of Premiere you have and whether you're on Mac or Windows.
If you're on 7.0.1 or later, then disable the Linked Selection button in the Timeline. It's the button to the right of the magnet (Snap). If you frequently want to toggle between linked and unlinked selection, you can assign a shortcut to the command
Also, you can select any track item by holding ALT while clicking. To select multiple individual track items (e.g., A3, A5, & A7 for a given clip), hold ALT+SHIFT while clicking.
And I believe Sarthak meant "Unlink" rather than "Ungroup." A/V clips are linked by default, so Unlink is generally available. Ungroup will be available only if what's selected is a set of clips that you manually grouped.

How do I command a single video track (with many clips) to an action?

Hi,
This is my first post in this forum, and I am a beginner on FCE.
I want to take one of my video tracks and reduce the size to 1/4 and put it in the upper right corner of the screen. I want my screen split into 4 equal sections. My first track has many edit points, and I cannot seem to command the whole track to stay put in the upper right corner of the screen.
I can do it if I choose each clip in the track individually (and size it manually) but not all at once. How do I do the track all at once?
Thanks,
humbucker237

Hi(Bonjour)!
You can set the scale to 25% for the first clip in timeline and place in the the upper right corner of the canvas, select it in timeline and use COMMAND-C to copy it.
Now select all remaining clips in timeline and use the paste attributes--motion command to set the scale to 25% for all clip and place them correctly.
OR
Use nested sequence.
Simply create a new sequence (S2) and drag your edited one (S1) (at full scale and position set to 0,0) in the new one. That's the nesting process.
From this step, ALT-double-click this sequence (S1) in timeline to open it in viewer and set the scale and position value.

How to move music from one video to another.

I have two videos. I want to take the sound off of a video, and delete only the video part. Then, put the soundtrack onto another video clip. I can detach the sound from the video, but if i delete the video, the sound track goes with it. I can see a tiny appendage that continues to connect the sound track to the video track - shown below just above the 1.2m. How do I break that appendage? thanks

Add another clip at the beginning of the video (anything, it doesn't matter what) and move the sound track to the left so the 'hook' is now pointing to this clip. You can then delete the video and the sound track will remain and can be selected,copied and pasted into the other video.

Scripting: How To Tell Between Audio and Video Track?

When I create a collection of tracks from the main library and iterate through them, I get everything (in my case, video and audio tracks - no podcasts or TV shows as of yet). In checking the "Kind" class, they all have a value of "1".
How can I tell if a track I'm looking at is audio or video? Also, when I do start downloading podcasts and/or TV shows, is there a way to differentiate them also?
Thanks

**** so much for that on the Western Digitals. The interface is USB3
goodness, yes, youve got one of those OLD WD drives that has the controller board AND USB all as ONE SINGLE UNIT
write that HD off.

How do you PRECISELY sync two video tracks?

Here's the background:
I filmed a video, in the dark, doing sequential movements with light-sources while listening to a metronome (to create a pattern of trail-effects)
I then took this video, duplicated it, took the opacity down to 50%, and overlayed it with the original
I then attempted to offset the video by 1/2/3 clicks of the metronome, identifying it by the soundwave.
Here's my dilema:
I can only use the razor tool at certain quantities of time along the timeline, and can only DRAG the clip along certain incriments of time along the time line.
I am finding it impossible to get the metronome 'clicks' lined up seamlessly!
why can I not drag the duplicate clip along to ANY incriment of space/time along the timeline? Is there a way around this?
*I have tried turning of the magnetic timeline
Thanks in advance for any tips

I tried this as well. If you zoom in enough, even when using the 'p' tool, the clip 'jumps' along certain incriments as I try to drag it. I can not place it precisely where I want along a continuous set of coordinates along the timeline.
I am trying to match up two videos via the audio waveform, syncing the metronome 'clicks' that are present in the videos (and also taking them out of phase, with the metronome 'clicks' lining up, but the video itself is not (it's out of phase)) [[think sine and cosine, same waveform, but out of phase]].
I used the metronome to sustain consistency [[wavelength]] and mark the points at which to sync them out of phase [[i.e. crest vs. trough, etc]]
Here's what I'm looking at
http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/9231/screenshot20111027at122d.png
I drag the bottom clip over, but it only moves to the placement in which it is in the picture below the first, and CANNOT BE PLACED PRECISELY WHERE I NEED IT TO BE, even while using the 'p' tool

Adding music to a video

Does anyone know how to add music to a video recorded on the ipod? These are the directions as stated in the manual:
Adding Music to Your Recorded Videos
You can use QuickTime Player to add music to your recorded videos. Select a recorded video in iPhoto, and then click Edit at the bottom of the iPhoto window. The recorded video opens in QuickTime Player, where you can add a music track to your recorded video.
To learn how to add music to your recorded videos with QuickTime Player, choose Help > QuickTime Player Help, and see the instructions for extracting, adding, and moving tracks.
I can follow the steps up to clicking on edit but from there I don't anything that would allow me to do this. I also looked in QuickTime player help and just don't see how. I am running Snow Leopard which means the new version of QuickTime. I have tried opening in QT Pro as well but just don't see how to do it.
Thanks for any anwers.

Transition only for one video track?

I have 4 parallel video tracks to have 4 videos run simultaniously in every corner of the screen. I want to fade in and out each video clip separately. When I add a transition to a video track, all other tracks below are faded as well. Is this a bug? The only but inconvenient solution is to set keypoints and manually fade the transparency.
How can I prevent the lower video tracks from beeing influenced from the transition in the upper tracks?

It doesn't matter whether I convert the clips into compound clips or not. In the first picture you see the bad result with normal clips, in the second with compound clips. It also doesn't matter when I put the transition inside the compound track by double clicking it (picture 3). It is all the same: The track with the transition influences all tracks below. If I had more than two clips, all other lower tracks are faded by the single transition in the upper track. Any idea?
It is Final Cut Pro X 10.0.2.

Adding a new video track

I am usually working in FCP, and the ability to add a new video track is simple. How do I add a new video track to my iMovie project...?
Thanks

iMovie doesn't support multiple video tacks the way the FinalCut Pro does.
If you want to do something like a side-by-side or picture-in-picture first enable Advanced Tools in iMovie>Preferences. Now drag your second clip on top of a clip in your Project.

Music video - matching video to audio

I'm new to FCE and I've just got a new Canon HG21 HDD camera. I'm trying to match some new live video footage to an existing music backing track.
I shot three versions of the video from different angles with the singer miming to the audio track and now I want to try to cut the three sequences together with the best lip-sync I can mangage. I have the original clean stereo audio on two FCE tracks and I can hear the music in the video clips so I can more or less sync the actual and thowaway video audio tracks.
My question is how best to tackle this? My instinct is to import the three video clips into three separate tracks, get them in sync with the real audio track, and then cross dissolve between the three tracks (using Opacity) and a fourth abstract animation track (to mask bad lip sync).
I haven't seen any tutorials that covers this. Any tips appreciated.

Yes sync up each track to the clean studio track
On that clean studio audio track place markers on it in regards to certain words in the song as reference points. You can place markers on your audio time line and put labels on them (ceratin words in the song for example)
Did the singer lip sync or voice sync, there is a difference. Always have them VOICE sync and sing out loud to the track. They tend to stay on sync by "voice" syncing.
Musicians tend to say that they will have no trouble singing along to their own song, but 50% of the time they do trip up on certain parts/aspects of the song
Also, create a sperate BIN in FCE for non singing items, cut away shots....
For example:
There head swinging or their feet or body movements. Those can be inserted almost anywhere and if you get in trouble with the singers lip snyc, you can stick in a cut away shot
FCE4 is great, there is so much you can do with it once you learn it. People tend to critisize it, but I know once you get to know it, there is so so so much you can do.
Also play around with the image filters in FCE for boosting color or hue or tint
I love working with it
Good luck

How to make audio (within a video) background music?

Hi: I have Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0. I have video of a guy singing that is three minutes long that I would like to use as the background music for a video montage. The video montage itself is about 3 minutes as well. I would like to start the video montage with the guy singing, then make the rest of the montage have just the background music of the guy singing (without the video of him). How can I do this? Thanks.

That's how I'd do it, too.
Another option might be to just plop the montage on Track 2 at the appropriate starting point and not do anything with Track 1 (the guy singing). The video from Track 2 would be used instead of the Track 1.
Not sure what would happen with the sound though - don't remember if Track 2 audio overlays Track 1 or if they get mixed
Also not sure what the OP wants... is the guy singing supposed to be "background" as in you can still hear the montage audio with the singing as light background, or whether the guy singing is the *only* audio.

How do I export to EDL on one video track.

Hello,
I just finnished editing a music video.
It has over 8 video tracks and now I want to export it to a EDL format but It looks like everything needs to go on 1 video track.
How should I go about it.
Thanks.
D.

Hi Domingo,
exporting to a edl is for use in a online editing suite with a controller like sony BVE 910 or CMX. I have not done this now for years. My beta-recorder is already out of use. As far as I remember you have to export each video track seperately if you really want to remaster the video in a online-suite. There is nothing like a video mixdown similar to audio. But you can try to edit one track after another if you really want to do so and feed your online editor with one edl after the other. If it works properly it will do the editing several times with every edl you load into the editor and in the end you will have your master completed. .

How to match sound track to movie pictures? (the sound track is shorter)

I have a sound (narrative) track of approx 1 hr which talks about the movie film. However the film I have, is a slightly different version, that is about 10 min longer then the sound track and I would like to restore the match, e.g. by something like cutting the sound track and inserting blanks, or cutting and moving the sound a couple of seconds. Note I'm totally new to Premiere V 10. I presume I would have to use start and end marks in the sound track and place the subsequent sound parts on a new sound (or narrative?) track (but it seems I will need to introduce additional silent parts, I cannot just move (drag?) the next sound track a couple of seconds to the left.
I would guess there are a couple of easy tricks to achieve my goal.
Thank you in advice.
Rob Tausk

Well well: not easy nor trivial at all, but I haven’t given up as yet! I’ll describe my workflow below.
1.       Play video fragment, and comparing film picture and sound estimate position where I need to introduce a silent period and it length.
2.       By double click play sound “comment track” on the monitor and set end stop (I would actually prefer if the sound track could be zoomed to more easily/accurately find best position)
3.       Play mute sound clip in preview and set time length with end stop and close preview
4.       Move mute clip to comment track, which has been shortened in step 2
5.       Play main sound clip in Preview and set start point
6.       Move this sound clip to comment track.
But sometime things go slightly wrong, e.g. when moving mute or sound fragment to “comment track” I find that the video track cuts (not intended)
Another difficulty I still need to master is related to the phenomena you mentioned before, related to moving sound clips, parts which were before the starting point show up (e.g. drag edges).
I hope you can roughly follow my explanatory story (I realise writing such workflow is difficult and critically depends on the same use of words concepts definitions and jargon (note my Adobe Premiere Elements is in Dutch).
I’d much appreciate your comments (maybe another software would be friendly to the inexperienced senior citizen)
