Learning how to sync music audio to lip movements

I just acquired Final Cut Studio 2 a week ago and I'm looking to eventually get into shooting music videos once I get the basics down. Anyway, I was wondering if there was an online tutorial available or a book that I could purchase that deals with syncing audio to video lip movement. In particular, I'd like to shoot those old-school style Yo! MTV Raps videos where the artist lip syncs to their song while "performing" various scenes. Learning how to edit in FCP6 so that my pre-recorded audio syncs to the lip movement is what I'd like to learn.
Would anyone have any ideas on where I could go to learn this stuff?

The tool you want to learn is the SLIP tool.
You drop the clip in and get it 'close' then click on the SLIP tool and type numbers in. The video will 'slip' within the existing IN/OUT points.
So...
If you see the video lagging the audio -- type 5 and it will slip 5 frames forward. If you see the audio lagging the video type -5 and it will slip back 5 frames.
Good luck,
CaptM

    how to sync/edit audio when using frame freeze or time remapping? in premiere pro cs6

    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.

    i dont know how to sync music to my ipod. i need help

    You can sync music to the iPod by connecting it your computer, selecting the iPod on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then using the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your iTunes music library to sync to it. There are some instructions on syncin music on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    You can also download a copy of the iPod manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipod/#ipodtouch

  • 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

  • Anybody know how to fix the audio while watching movies on first generation apple tv?

    Anybody know how to fix the audio while watching movies on first generation apple tv? On my apple tv, I can hear audio for music, music videos, youtube, internet radio and even movie previews! But..... when I pay for the rental download of a movie there is no audio - just visuals. I am connecting with hdmi. When I connect an apple tv 2nd generation to the same amp and tv, using same hdmi and even same power lead and same settings then there is no problem! Anybody know how I can get audio to work for movies for this?

    that makes sense and good point but no don't think so. Where would I check that setting? I had same problem on my next gerneration apple tv (black model) but when I switched off the dolby then I could hear movie. In this case that does not work for the first generation (white) apple TV I have whether dolby is on or off. I have never been able to watch a movie using it.

  • How to sync music on my computer to ipad2 if I am already using iCloud.

    I have loads of music in iTunes on my computer that I imported from my CD collection. I normally sync my ipad2 via iCloud but wanted to connect it to my pc and sync/add my music collection to the ipad2. I got a warning that said if I attempted this, it would wipe out everything from my ipad2 and replace it with my computer based iTunes content. How do I bring my legitimate music collection over to my ipad2 which I purchased about four months ago? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I am fairly new to Apple. I just bought this ipad2 and an iphone4s, so it's been a learning curve.

    why not just connect it and set it to sync music ?
    unless you pay for match then syncing apps movies and music to the computer have nothing to do with the sync to icloud

  • How to sync music to the N8's MicroSD card

    I bought a 32GB MicroSD card for my N8 so that I had enough capacity to store all of my MP3s. Unfortunately I can't convince Ovi Music Player to sync music to that location. It always tries to sync the music to the N8's 16GB internal storage area despite there not being enough capacity to do so.
    Is there any way to configure either Ovi Music Player or the N8 to use the MicroSD card exclusively for the music library? It's making me very frustrated.

    Putting Music on ANY Nokia phone is very simple !! All you need to do is make sure the music has artwork embedded before transfer  and the track and album info is correct. Once the music is in a state where it is fit to be put on the phone, it doesn't matter if you sync with Ovi Suite, Ovi Music, Windows Media Player or whatever. !!

    Whilst I hear what you say, carman, just search for the number of threads relating to the problems many people have (and I have had corrupted libraries, album art missing, etc, and I am a fairly experienced user) just trying to get music into a library.  IF it was working, as it should, then the facilities provided by Nokia should just transfer the music in a easy standard way, complete with artwork, to your desired location, and you should end up with a working music system and a completely updated working library.  There should be ONE recommended way of doing it, which should be fairly automatic, simple, reliable, safe and should just work.  That situation does not exist.
    Now, I am not saying providing flexibility by providing other alternatives is not desirable. What I AM saying is that Nokia should be able to say - "if you do it this way, then it will work correctly."  From the number of people who have problems with music transfer and libraries, it is obvious that this message has not reached the mass of the users. Whether that is an inability to provide such a feature, or an inability to communicate what it is, and how to use it, Nokia is falling down somewhere. To be honest, after trying to transfer my music to my sd card, unsuccessfully, and then getting advice to go into the file structure and delete files, I gave up and just loaded it onto the phone.  Why should an end user (most of whom, like my mother, are not as technically competent as me) need to start searching for and deleting files just to get their music library working? No wonder the restrictive practices implemented by Apple have been lauded (although I don't like that company because of it!).  At least they have made their product relatively user-friendly, which is a BIG plus when you are dealing in this sort of area. Not everybody is capable of dealing with the sort of problems people seem to encounter doing something as simple as loading music (in fact, probably the majority ....). It should just work!  This lack of ability to 'keep it simple' has been the downfall of Nokia. Their developers provide superb bells and whistles, but seem not to have grasped the fact that bells and whistles are fantastic to have, AS LONG AS THE BASICS ARE ROCK SOLID. And from my experience, transferring music to an sd card is no way a simple or rock solid process, without you doing a lot of digging to find out how to do it successfully - hence all the posts. KISS!

    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.

  • Sync Music audio with Video Audio PE10

    Hi.
    I am new to Premiere elements 10 (Changed from Corel to Adobe, so i'm not new to video editing, but I'm not used to PE10).
    I am filming a lot of my daughters Circus performances, so very often I find the music number used at the performance and merge that with the video audio in the project.
    But I have a problem syncing the music from the audio track on the video with the seperate music track.
    So to specify: I want both Audio tracks running at the same time, so that I keep the clapping and the whisteling from the audience, but get the better quality of the music from the external file merged with the music in the video-audio-clip.
    Is there a special tool or can someone help me with a special tecnique?
    Regards Settemand

    Along with the instructions offered above, when nudging the Audio, I would make sure that Snap is OFF, as Snap will try to align your Audio with the beginning (Head), or end (Tail), of you Video Clips. That is useful for many editing operations, but for nudging Audio will frustrate you. The Snap function is a toggle with the S key. Just do not forget to turn it back ON, when done.
    Also, though the Soundtrack Audio Track seems to be the ideal location for your extra music, some users have experienced issues, when using it, or the Narration Audio Track. While it seems that those issues are Project-specific, and those Tracks often work well, to keep from being tripped up later, I recommend putting your music on a free Audio Track, such as Audio 2 - just to be safe.
    Also, with either an Audio, or Video Track, you can Zoom IN/OUT horizontally with the Timeline Zoom slider, AND can also Zoom IN/OUT vertically, by going to the Track's Header (where the Track Name is located), then hovering your cursor over the little line between the Track, until it changes to an equal sign with up/down arrows, then click+drag, to enlarge the Track (and the Clip display) vertically. I find that this makes viewing the Audio Waveform Display easier, and the peaks are more obvious. When done, you can just reverse that operation to Zoom OUT on the Track vertically, so that it looks like it did, before you started.
    Good luck, and this FAQ Entry might be useful, though it talks about OOS (Out Of Sync) Audio, the functions are the same for syncing additional Audio: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/436751?tstart=0
