Importing video with music attached

I remember watching a training DVD suggesting that when you import music from a CD to lower it by -12dB
I'm working on compiling a collection of music videos into one continuous mix, after I edit what vids to use before I export them to individual .mov's should I lower the audio level by the aforementioned -12dB?
Most of the music is actually not that good a quality and the levels are below 0dB.
Thanks

No. The levels on the CD are already safe, and hopefully good.
If anything, you might need to raise the levels of some tracks to match others.
I wonder where that idea came up...it is true that when mixing sound,
one typically keeps the levels around -12dB, but a well-mastered CD
will have good levels already. In fact most pop CD production includes
ways of making the levels hotter than -12dB and still sounding good.

  • Iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library?

    iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library? Pls help.

    This is what that error means:

    permErr
    Software lock on file; Not a subscriber [permissions error on file open]
    Download and launch  BatChmod.  Put the videos into a subfolder and drag that folder containing the video files into the Batchmod window.  Make sure you are the owner and have R,W, X access as well as the group.  Everyone will have R only.
    Check the Change ownership and privileges, Unlock and Apply to enclosed boxes and then click on the Apply button.  When done try importing the files again.

  • I couldn´t see imported videos with Adobe Premiere pro

    Hello:
    My name is Oren. I´m from Spain, and this is my problem.
    One month ago I bought a Toshiba Satellite 850-31M. It has an x64 processor, 16 GB of RAM and I have 2 hard drives, the c: an SSD of 500 GB and other of 1 Tb hardisk, configured as D:. It has a GeForce GT 630M graphics card with 2 GB of RAM. W8 operating system.
    I wanted to try the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and I downloaded the trial version. No problem, until I tried to import a video in the source window. Appears a small window that says "importing" and give to play in the source window and start .Audio be heard, but not the image. I've tried different video formats and always the same. The same video are seamlessly Quick Time and other video viewers ..... I do not know what to do, I think I've tried everything, even restart the computer to its factory settings and install Adobe Premiere vacuum and the problem remains. I tested with a trial of Premiere CS5.5 and got it. You hear the audio but no video . Insert the video in the timeline and recognizes it as such, even the first frame, but said, is not seeing in the "source", nor in the preview, only the audio.
    What could it be? Am I you could lend a hand I'm desperate?
    thank you very much

    Hello:
    I have the vídeos in a hard-disk. I'd tried in different video formats and
    always the same. I hear the audio but I couldn't see the video image.

  • Importing video with sound to GarageBand 2.0 and iOS 7.0.4

    Importing video with sound to GarageBand 2.0 and iOS 7.0.4
    My daughter has an iPad 2 with GarageBand 2.0 and iOS 7.0.4.  She would like to import a video file which has a sound track on it to GarageBand for iPad so that she can add an additional sound track to it.  The video/audio file to be imported would be in AVI, MPEG2 or another iPad compatible format.  Is this possible? If so, how would the mechanics work?  Would you: (1) load the file into the Movies section of iTunes and import the file from the Movies section of iTunes; (2) save the file onto an SD card and import the video/audio file from the SD card by inserting the SD card into an "SD adaptor" on an "iPad Camera Connection Kit"; or (3) email the video file to yourself and upload it to GarageBand from email?

    This is part of a mobile training application and I allow the learner to record an audio response in addition to viewing the videos.  When they record a response, you can hear the playback so the device has its volume up and working when the app is running.  Since I posted this issue, I switched to .flv video and that plays ok.  It's apparently the .mp4 video that's a problem.  I'm encoding it with ffmpeg and suspect that it's something with the settings.   Do you have a recommendation for mp4 settings for OSMF?

  • Importing video with correct date

    I'm having issue importing videos into iphoto with the original date of the video. I'm importing from a canon vixia HFS10, when i tried it a month or so back it went into iphoto correctly, with the original date but now whenever i try it, even with the same videos that worked date wise before, it only imports into iphoto with the date that i actually imported it with.
    Any ideas?
    I know you can alter the date via the edit options, but this seems a bit backward when i know, somehow, that i can import the video automactially with the date.

    i only imported the videos from the same camera, one time they went with the date it was taken, the other time i tried a couple of weeks later it only imported with the date of import so it's not the camera

  • Mixing Video with Music

    Hello.
    I am new to iTunes. I own a PC and normally use Windows Media Player for songs and music videos. I create playlists in Media Player which contain both songs and videos mixed together and play them in full screen for gatherings in my home as my computer is connected to my TV and it makes for nice entertainment for everyone while mingling.
    I really like the quality of the downloads available from iTunes but cannot seem to get videos and songs to play together like I can with Windows Media Player. With iTunes, it seems to be either one or the other, not both!
    How do I create a playlist in iTunes to play both video and music at full screen? Is this not possible with iTunes 6.0?
    Thanks,
    cmc123

    Thank you for the reply. Microsoft Windows Media Player has been able to do this for over ten years now, but, yes, I have found out from other people as well mixing video and music under the same playlist is impossible with Apple software. Shame.
    Well, I will just have to abandon Apple and go back to Microsoft, but thank you for answering.
    Best wishes,

  • Import video with audio question

              When I start a new project and import a video with audio, then drag to the timeline , it puts the latter on audio 4 track instead of track 1. Why is it skipping 3 tracks?

    . Thanks Bill.  It was a mono track and the 3 above were stereo.  I deleted the 3 empty tracks and now it is below the video directly.  What I am also wondering about is why the video track can be widened vertically,by dragging the bottom border and the previous audio 1 track could be also, but this one can not.  Is it not possible to see the waveform as I can when I imported an audio file in a different project?  That one was expandable veritically.There was no video in that one.

  • Creating A Simple Video With Music and A Picture Background

    Some of you all may know that I am in a band. I am wanting to put some of my music on youtube and am wanting to make just a simple video- with the song playing in the background- and just some sort of nature picture, or only a few going in the background. I'm thinking I should use iMovie, but I haven't had a whole lot of luck figuring it out this morning, so I was wondering if anyone here could help me with the task that I mentioned. It would be so greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks So Much,

    Aluminum or not, there actually is an iMovie forum:

  • Playing imported video with button

    So I'm working on a project that requires me to click a transparent button in the Flash presentation and have an imported video appear, play, and then disappear. I've scoured the internet but can't for the life of me find what I'm looking for. Would someone be willing to give me a hand. I'm new to Flash and this honestly sounds easy enough but I can't for the life of me figure it out.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have the same issue with my video clips mixed with photos in the iPhoto Library!
    Is there really no possibility to show them in a mixed mode with FrontRow?
    @Apple: Cant' you update FrontRow with this feature?
    The only application I found for that issue is Photeo Presenter!

  • I have created video with music and pictures.  I have exported it. But all that shows is the music no pictures.  I have done this before and it worked ok.  Am I missing something?

    I have created a video with pictures and music.  When i export it, it goes into a MP4 video.  which I have done before and it worked ok.  Now the only thing on the MP4 video is music but not my pictures.
    I am very new to this and have taught myself everything so far.  I have no technical understanding.  So please make any answers as basic as you can.
    Many thanks.

  • [CS4] importing video with xdv8 codec...

    Okay, I am on a windows version of premiere pro CS4. I am not very experienced with the software, so this could be amazingly obvious/simple, or it may truly be as hard as I am finding it to be. I need to import a video file, currently a .mov. I believe but am not certain that it was made on an Apple with Final Cut Pro. Premiere gives me a missing codec error.
    When I try to play the file in most of my video players, including QuickTime, I get a missing or unsupported codec error (the sound generally plays fine, though - just the video is missing).One of my players actually named the codec, I believe... saying there was an error with xdv8 codec. So I did some googling, and found that mplayer has that codec.
    So I download and install the latest mplayer for windows (SMPlayer to be precise), and it plays the video fine. However I still cannot import this video into Premiere. And the SMPlayer doesn't offer an export, save as, etc. function.
    I found all of the codec .dll files that the SMPlayer uses, but have no idea how (if it is possible) to get Premiere to recognize them... and I am not sure which it is, as none of them have xdv8 in the title.
    Is there a way to import a codec into premiere if it is not part of a codec installer package?
    Does anyone know where I can get a codec installer package for Premiere that includes the xdv8 codec?
    Is there any other way to work around this issue?
    Thanks!!!

    One of my players (VLC Player, from Video Lan) gave an error stating that the xdv8 codec was missing or not supported. A ton of googling later found that the MPlayer does support the codec - and when I installed said MPlayer (the SMPLayer GUI for windows), I can play the video.
    My issue is that the video comes from an indirect source; my client (I am a web designer, this client has a lot of streaming video on the site) has the videos created by a "professional" local studio... who is (in my opinion) anything but pro. I have no direct contact with them, and when I ask for anything to be done, such as getting the video in a different format, it can take weeks or longer before I get a response. So since I have Premiere, I started doing my own editing of the videos to get them web ready. The videos are being shot for TV (they get broadcast on the Fox Business Network)... so I have no idea if this codec is best (or even good) for that medium, but I need to convert it into 3 various sized flv files for web streaming.
    UPDATE: I now see that the codec is ffmpeg2, and the 'format' is xdv8. I have no idea what that means!
    When I get properties through the SMPlayer, I see the following info;

  • Importing Video with AC3 encoding

    Hi,
    I am completely new to FCE 4.0. For years, I've been using my Sony DVD Camcorder (DCR-DVD403) to capture my raw footage. The camcorder an onboard Dolby Digital AC3 encoder which I use all the time. I import the video to my PC since using the Sony Picture Perfect software to preserve the AC3 encoding. However, when I import it into FCE 4.0, the video plays fine but I get now audio whatsoever.
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Randy

    Thanks for the tip. I ended up using the MPEG Streamclip function "DEMUX to M2V and AC3" to divide the original video file into a discrete video (.m2v) and audio (.ac3) file. I then imported into FCE 4. I was not sure how to load the two files into the Preview window, so I instead chose to drag each file separately into the Sequence window. To get all 6 audio channels I had to add 2 more audio channels prior to loading. FCE requires that you render the entire clip first after completing the render, I was able to replay the clip with full 6 channel Dolby Digital.
    There is still one thing that I cannot figure out. Which audio channel corresponds to its respective audio output (ie. A1 = Front Left, A2 = Right Left, A3 = Centre, ...).
    Anyone know the answer?
    Thanks,
    Randy
