I cannot synch 24fps video footage with an audio .wav file. Is there a speed conversion factor?

I inadvertantly shot a video interview with a new camera (Panasonic HVX 200) set at 24fps. Because of that, the camera wasn't getting an audio signal from the microphone so in a panic, I hauled out my trusty old Zoom H4Nex digital audio recorder and captured it that way. Now I cannot synch up the audio and video in FCP CC (MAC OSX 10.9.2). Clearly, the audio file is about 25% longer than the video file, however, I cannot find the exact factor to change the audio speed to create lip synch. It always ends up a little short or a little long. If you will point out the error of my ways - I will promise to never do THIS again!

Thanks, Steven. But that's not it. Here's some new information: The camera
I was using (Panasonic HVX 200) had the frame rate set to 720 30pn.
However, the "scene file" mistakenly applied listed 24fps. Premiere Pro
thinks this footage is 29.97. Is it possible that it's actually 24fps and
that's why it's about 25% shorter than the corresponding .wav file? If so,
is there a way to "fool" Premiere Pro into slowing down the footage?
Unless I'm off the mark completely. It's been known to happen.......

Downloading and editing video footage with different audio channels

Hi out there, I usually created photo montages in my iMovie & iDVD, but I have been given the task to edit an event and I believe that there might be an hour to 2 hours of footage. What I would like to know is, how do I focus on the wireless audio when needed and then use the regular audio at other times. I am about to download the footage and would like to make sure that I download it properly and then be able to use the audio as I see fit... ( will I even be able to use the different audio channels) I hope that I am making sense, any suggestions?! THANKS!

The "baked in" audio which is part of the video will sit "inside" the video clips. That audio can be faded up and down as needed.
You'll need to separately import your "wireless" audio if it was recorded onto a separate device such as a mini-disc recorder or somesuch, and it'll then sit in one of the two separate audio tracks. You can also fade that up and down as needed.
IF, however, the "wireless" audio was recorded straight into the camera, via a wireless receiver attached to the cam, then that'll also come in as part of the normal video (see 1st paragraph, above).
So - in that case - to "unravel" or separate the camera's own and the "wireless" audio will only be possible if they were each mono signals, recorded separately to the left and right channels of the camcorder's single stereo track, e.g; camera's mike on left channel, additional "wireless" audio on right channel.
If this was a professional camcorder, like a Canon XLH1, into which you can feed 4 channels at recording time, you won't be able to separate those two pairs of stereo after importing into iMovie, unless you import them separately ..e.g; camera Channels 1 & 2 as an integral part of the video import, and then Channels 3 & 4 imported separately afterwards, into one of the separate audio tracks.
iMovie has no way of separating audio - apart from left and right stereo channels which can easily be done in GarageBand ..or in another external audio editor program. There's no way to "unbake" 4 separate channels of audio within a video clip and to separate them once the video's been imported ..when all audio then appears as simply left and right channels of a stereo signal. You can extract audio from a clip, but you can't separate individual components of the audio, apart from prising apart the left and right channels, no matter how many audio tracks are available ..such as the two extra tracks in iMovie.
You don't say (a) which camcorder(s) had been used for shooting the material, and (b) whether the "wireless" recording was fed into the camera, or was recorded separately.
If you provide further exact details I may be able to help more..

Does version 12 support producing video clip with AMR audio codec?

From some documents i used as reference to proceude some videos for my phone Premiere Elements 8 can produce video clips with AMR audio codec. I bought today the Premiere elements 12 but I can not find a way to set AMR audio codec for my video clip. Only AAC audio codec seems available. Is it possible to add AMR codec to 12 version?

Neurona17
Adobe typically supports only current version, and, if you purchased from it, is strict on "within 30 days of purchase": for money back on that current version purchase. I do not believe such a thing as a "change the license for other earlier release such as 8 or 9" exists at Adobe. But, you could ask. If you wish to purchase one of those earlier versions that supports AMR export, you might still find some online.
Is the before import conversion of AMR to WAV a viable alternative?
You wrote
Unfortunately so far I have not been able to generate any useful video clip for my system with this 12 version.
Is this in regard to the AMR requirement or to any video without the AMR audio?
Online I have seen that there is a download for the AMR audio codec. Does your system now show that you have such a codec installed on your computer. If not, I am not sure if download of this codec would place it in the Premiere Elements Publish+Share export settings choices, similar to import of some .avi video codecs. (Sometimes 3rd party codecs can create problem, so proceed with caution if you pursue that AMR audio codec idea.
Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
Thanks.

CS3 Video Encoder w/ .m2v and .wav files

Hello - I use the CS3 video encoder to prepare Youtube videos. I usually input an avi file and it works great. However, I have a few videos which are seperate video (.m2v) and audio (wav) files. What is the easiest way or best program to use to enable me to convert these files for use w/the video encoder?
TIA

Premiere & After Effects can do that, if you don't have these tools, then you can also use some free tools: check www.videohelp.com for more information on this.

Need help with audio wav file in multicam clip

I created a multicam clip with 3 cameras with crappy, far away, room audio and 1 stereo audio wav file with 2 lavaliere mics of "good Audio" 1 lav left & 1 lav right. on one channel there is a lot of distortion from shirt ruffle etc.... but only at times. I would like to ride the mix and use sections of "good" audio and get rid of sections of "Bad" audio from the one channel. but, I cant figure it out. anyone??? I'm hoping Apple updates this issue soon with great audio support with "simultaneos multicam audio switching!!!" Please, Please Apple...

You can do what you need right now, no need for Apple to do anything, they've already don it. Check this out.

Video sound with no audio clip

I want to be able to listen to the audio in my video clip. When I export it to any movie, it plays the movie silently. When I add an audio track it plays the video along with the music, but anything said in the video is silent. Is there a setting where I can change this? Thank you so much for you help.

I have the same camera Canon FS100 (it was on sale)
It took quite a while, but I found that "Super" would create a workable file for use with Premiere Pro CS4.
Super v2009.bld.35
www.erightsoft.com/super.html
There are possibly many ways to do it.
One I found that worked well was to save it as
mpg... Mpeg-II... mp2
use FFmpeg
720:480
16:9
29.97
48000
256

I looked at it - but I havn't tryed it yet.
And P Pro CS4 was then able to edit the file.
The issue is that the audio is AC-3 Dolby Digital
and so far I can't get it to work with Ppro?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ac3
PS if anyone knows of a better way to save the output files please let us know.
I tried 100s of combinations to find one that worked.
I don't claim that it is the best.
I was just very happy to be able to use the software I played big bucks for and the camera I (already had)
If I had bunches of extra money and an old tux laying around I would buy a better camera.....
But for now it is the best I can afford.
And I am enjoying learning the Adobe CS4 collection of software.
It gives me something to do while I look for work.
Good luck with your camera,

I recently installed Mavericks and now I can't video chat with sister who has ichat, is there a fix?

Is ichat on an older machine compatible with Mavericks Messages video chatting? Is there something I can do to video chat with someone who has ichat on an older machine? They aren't going to upgrade so am I stuck with Skype? We really liked ichat.

Yes, I can video chat with someone on Skype. I only ichat with my younger sister and she doesn't ichat with anyone else. I don't have anyone else to try out the video chatting with in Messages. She's not tech savy and doesn't feel comfortable doing anything to her program. A friend may try to get her up and running on Skype, we just liked chatting with the Mac programs.

Two-way video chat with other (audio-only) participants?

Is it possible to have a five-way chat in iChat with
. - myself and one other participant via video, and
. - three other participants via audio only?
I know there's an option for one-way video conferencing, where only one person in a conference has video and the other(s?) have audio, but what about two with video and the others with audio?
And if we did this, could the three audio participants see the two video participants even if the three don't participate via video?

Hi,
You can start A One Way Video chat with a Buddy without a Camera.
You can add others up to the standard 4 people (you and three others) and some can be audio Only.
You do have to have a Mac of a G4/1Ghz dual or above and have a Upload speed of 256 k at the very Least (Apple Specs say 384k) although more is preferable when you are Host.
Ideally the Host should be the fastest Mac with the fastest connection.
Invite Camera able Buddies first then Audio Only Buddies by clicking on the green A/V icon they are showing in the Buddy list.

Sync multiple video clips with one audio track

I'm an FCPX noob, trying to sync some clips. I recorded a 1.5 hour concert with a DSLR along with an audio track using a separate digital recorder. I have seven video clips, all in sequence (stopping and restarting the camera because of clip length limitations) and one long audio track in WAV format. The audio track is longer than the combined video clips, and there are some short dead spaces in between the video clips when I turned off/on. Now I'm trying to sync them but when I do, the video clips get stacked together with lots of overlap.
I made a test with 3 minute video and audio clips and had no problem. But when I try to do the whole event, I get a jumbled mess.
I could cut the audio into pieces and sync each piece with its corresponding video, but that seems to defeat the sync process, as well as being a lot of work. And, wouldn't I end up with lots of overlap anyway, since my audio clips would have to be longer than my video clips?
Am I missing an easier way to do this, or a way to arrange things better? I can't imagine the problems with several cameras and several audio tracks; my project is actually pretty simple, since it is very linear.
Any suggestions? Thanks--

Sorry to take so long getting back to you. Thank you for this advice, but I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly. Is there a way to set the angle on all of the clips at the same time?
Yes. Select all the clips you want in the browser, and then in the inspector fill in the camera angle with the value you want. This can be just about anything, it does not have to be a number. I prefer to name it something meaningful, like "wide" or something.

Adobe AIR Android + MediaPlayer: Video Plays with no Audio

I am trying to play a video in my Adobe AIR Android App. I can't seem to get the video to play with audio in the application. I can get the audio to play in the native players on both my Samsung Galay and my Asus Transformer outside of my app, but when I load the video using StageVideo, the audio doesn't play at all.
I tried just launching the video into the navtive browser or using StageWebView but that doesn't work either.
I am a bit at a loss and need some advice.
Here's the code below.
MediaPlayerExample:
var resource:URLResource = new URLResource(videoPath);
container = new MediaContainer();
addChild(container);
container.y = this.headerHeight;
videoElement = new VideoElement(resource);
videoElement.smoothing = true;
container.addMediaElement(videoElement);
container.width = this.stage.stageWidth;
container.height = this.stage.stageHeight;
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.media = videoElement;
mediaPlayer.addEventListener(TimeEvent.CURRENT_TIME_CHANGE, this._onProgress);
this.videoHeader = new VideoHeader(this.stage.stageWidth);
this.addChild(this.videoHeader);
Any help would be great!

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (both of which iTunes uses) does not convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Saving images with an associated .wav file

Occasionally I will create a voice note with an photograph - this is to identify a species or note a location.
Is there some way to (automatically) tag all my images which a sound associated with them?

Problem with cdrdao reading .wav files

Hi,
I have being having problems with using cdrdao to read .wav files that I created from other sources (.flac, .ogg and .mp3) using flac123/ogg123/mpg123.
Basically, this is the error
[phil@discovery hack]$ cdrdao simulate --device /dev/cdrom1 toc
Cdrdao version 1.2.3 - (C) Andreas Mueller <[email protected]>
ERROR: ./01_achilles_last_stand.wav: not in PCM format.
ERROR: Header of audio file "./01_achilles_last_stand.wav" is corrupted.
The 'toc' file contains....
[phil@discovery hack]$ cat toc
CD_DA
TRACK AUDIO
COPY
NO PRE_EMPHASIS
TWO_CHANNEL_AUDIO
FILE "./01_achilles_last_stand.wav" 0
START 00:02:00
Having used the 'cdrdao' program previously, I am pretty sure the 'toc' file is sane.
I then noticed a difference between .wav files using the 'file' program:
[phil@discovery hack]$ file *.wav
01_achilles_last_stand.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, stereo 44100 Hz
test.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz
I found that the 'test.wav' file worked when substituted as the FILE in the 'toc' file......
With a bit of research I found a work around, namely to convert the .wav file to another .wav file using 'ffmpeg'.
[phil@discovery hack]$ ffmpeg -loglevel quiet -i 01_achilles_last_stand.wav -f wav -ar 44100 -ac 2 test2.wav
The resulting files...
01_achilles_last_stand.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, stereo 44100 Hz
test.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz
test2.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz
Changing the 'toc' file to pick up the two test* files worked fine.
Does anybody know either a better fix or the reasons why this is happening?
Regards
Phil Q

I am not sure I understood what you actually did or intended.
Did you plug in the camera cards into a card reader and import with Lightroom, copy to destination on one portable HD?
That should work.
As soon as you unplug the portable HD, the storage location will be labeled as offline and all thumbnails have the "?". As soon as you replug the portable HD and ensure that it has the same drive letter as before, the "?" will vanish.
The "?" indicates that the file is not accessible at the storage location which you told LR during import.
It has nothing to do with being able to save.
Note: only in importing with "copy" chosen will LR actually touch a file (and copy it to the indicated storage location). Inside LR there are only records pointing to the image files and holding all sorts of descriptions, like metadata and develop instructions.
If you use NX2 for the task to copy images from camera card to portable HD, and import them afterwards to LR (add in import settings), that makes no difference.
LR will show the "?" whenever the portable HD is unavailable or the path invalid because with a different drive letter.
