Linking new audio to video

I'm wondering if any new info is available on this... I am working on video in several small projects, each of which is synched to an imported audio track. . Sort of exporting and reimporting, is there a way to LINK the new audio to the video, so I can select sections and bring into a new project? There is a post on here about deleting unwanted sections of a video so that the remaining audio remains synched, but that's not what I want to do.... I want to synch the ENTIRE audio track to the existing videos, then select portions as needed for the new project.
I hope that makes sense...
Thanks for any help!

Shane,
Thanks for your reply. It seems I may have misundertood some of your original instructions. I have been copying ("select all"; copying and pasting into a new timeline) my sequences as you suggested to prevent the unexpected nesting I was getting.
I have been also utilizing the Command-drag method, but apparently I've been doing it incorrectly. I have been Comm.-draging marked sections of my copied sequence directly into the timeline. I gather by your reply I should be Comm.-dragging into the canvas (which I have done from time to time) My question is that I have found that I can successfully Comm.-drag into the insert window of the canvas and get the expected clip in the timeline, but when I use the overwrite window in the canvas in the same manner I get a clip of a slightly different color in my timeline. I also find that I'm losing my audio to video linking and my stereo pair linking when I Comm.-drag. Can you explain where I'm going wrong? Why do I lose the linking, and why does it appear that a different version of the same clip comes into the timeline if I Comm.-drag into the insert window in the canvas as opposed to Comm. draging into the overwrite window of the canvas? Also, I do quite a bit of Replace editing and it does not seem to me that Comm.-drag Replace works either. Can you halp me with that too?
Thanks again for your patience. I really appreciate it!

How to autmatically link SMPTE audio to video?

I'm looking into audio and video options for a documentary and could use some help here. Right now I'm looking at getting a couple the HVX200s and possibly a Edirol R-4 Pro. I've done a few searches here and on many other sites, but I don't really understand how you link the audio to the video in a setup like this. A long time ago I thought I read there was an automatic way to do this so you wouldn't have to point each video clip to its corresponding audio clip. I have read about Sebsky tools, but that seems to be for film rather than a video set up like this.
So, is there a way to quickly a easily do this? We'll be shooting a lot of material for possibly a year or so we'lll need something quick and reliable. Also, would it pose a problem to FCP that the R-4 Pro will have 4 tracks of audio?
Thanks ahead of time for any help!

It can work with cameras that accept external timecode. The camera's you've piced don't have this feature. They can be synced to each other only as far as I know.
Panny makes a stepup camera from this that does accept external TC coming. They showed it at NAB... http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ModelDetail?displayTab=O &storeId=11201&catalogId=13051&itemId=97602&catGroupId=14616&modelNo=AJ-HDX900&s urfModel=AJ-HDX900
Gotta say though it's not P2, but it is HD... That's actually part of the beauty of the 200. They don't make another P2 HD camera either. also doesn't sport the cinemodes that the 200 does.
But ya know? this may well be the least expensive HD camera that accepts external TC...
Your idea of running the 4 channels to the cameras is very inventive. I'd do that in a heartbeat as long as you can stand the setup you'll need to monitor this audio at all times. You'll want a mixer around for sure. And sure saves about 40,000 bucks. eh?
You going to shoot 2 camera all the time?

Linking/Syncing Audio and Video

I think I'm just on the edge of understanding if this can work:
I have a rough cut of a few clips using on-camera audio. I also recorded with a separate audio recorder. I want to somehow link the secondary audio to the primary audio and the source video clips, so that the secondary audio will be added to the rough cut without me having to go and re-sync each edit with the corresponding secondary audio. Is it possible to sync additional audio to a source file and have it reflected in an edited sequence?

Lining up each camera clip with the associated audio in its own sequence and then editing using those sequences instead of the original clips is one of the better ways to proceed given your starting point.
Audio drift shouldn't be apparent over reasonable lengths of clip (say up to 10 or 20 minutes) depending on the stability of the clock in the audio device. Many of the past reports were due to some manufacturers using slightly off-standard audio rates which Premiere then assumed to be correct and hence generated out-of-sync issues over around 30 minutes or more. Not your problem here.
If, when you check the audio sync over a whole clip, you find it is OK at the start but out at the end, then setting a marker on both video and audio near the end and using rate stretch on the audio to change its length by a small amount to line up the markers should give good enough sync for the clip.

Is it possible to play audio and video files(urls) directly in webView ?

Hello Everybody,
I have implemented one article page in webView. The content of the that page is html file. There are some links for audio and video files. Is it possible to play that links directly in that webView by clicking them?
Or is there any other way to play this files?
Any kind of information on this topic is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pandit Pakhurde

Is it important that the music come from a video, or are you just looking to listen to music in the background, while doing something else. If the later, you can certainly play music from the Music App, Pandora, or iHeart Radio, etc., and with the music playing, tap your home button to go to your home page and open anything else you want and the music will continue.
I don't have any videos to try out right now, but you try the same thing out and if the music continues, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

Audio and Video are out of sync after time remaping.

After I did the time remap,audio and video are completely out of sync.
I don't know what I did wrong.Please HELP.
I did a short video(43seg) to explain myself better
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0PQEoZvGbk

ha. having the video is killer. there are a couple ways to do this. i'd recommend using the blade tool (tap b twice to get the one that cuts all tracks), make a cut through the audio and the video at the points where you want it sped up, then right click the clip itself (which should be linked with audio and video) and then just set it to whatever speed you want. it'll have the same effect. you might have to adjust boundaries or you can select ripple.
alternatively, it looks like you just needed to do the same thing to the audio that you did to the video in that clip you uploaded. you can always relink things by selecting the audio and video and hitting cmnd+L.
hope that helps.

Linking audio and video problem

Hi, I cannot figure this out. I edited a sequence yesterday, opened it today and the linking stopped working. When I add new clip to it, linking works on the new one, but still doesn't work on the clips I edited yesterday. I tried trashing prefs, clicking Shift+L with clips selected, Modify-Mark in Sync... Any ideas how to fix it? I'm crazy about it... Thanks

If audio is unlinked you link one at the time if all video clips are linked to audio and you want to unlink them then select all and hit Command+L.
If you want to move audio or video separately despite being linked toggle off linked selection button ( hit Shift+L)

Linking audio and Video on sequence placement.

Help,
I know this is a dumb question but, new to FCP.
When adding a clip to the sequence, my audio and Video are
not locked or linked together.
I always have to link them together with Option L.
David

Please confirm that Linked Selection is toggled on. That can be done on any of these 3 ways:
Keyboard: Shift-L
button bar in the upper-right of the Timeline (it has a chain-link graphic)
Menubar: Edit > Linked Selection

How do you link two audio clips to one video clip?

Hi guys,
I want to think multiple audio clips to one video clip and aint know how to do it! I found this page on Adobe knowledge base:-
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b 1038518aef7-7f40.html
It says you can do it but I don't think it explains how? Can anyone provide me with the simple steps required to link two audio clips to one video clip? Many thanks.

Do you mean manual syncing? I've been reading this thread about workaround, which aren't working for me: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/21236
But the question they are asking is the same one I am asking. Isn't this a typical situation, having multiple mics for one camera? For example, if someone filmed a concert with one camera but used both the camera audio, and ambient mic, and a mix from the board, then that would be 3 audio tracks with 1 video track. I'm in a similar situation, and I'm finding it hard to believe that FCPX isn't equipped to edit this way. There must be some way to get one video clip (with reference audio) to sync with four audio tracks.

Link audio and video

Hello guys, I have a little problem on FCP. Since a while ago, I keep having the problem that my video and audio aren't linked together. When I select the audio and video, I do go to Link and link them, but once I cut the clip, the parrt to the right becomes unlinked. SO if anyone could help me ? Thxs.

You want to toggle the linking.
Just in the top right corner of the timeline are two buttons, i can't remember which one is which as i'm not in front of fcp right now, but generally, you want them both toggled 'ON'.

PLEASE HELP - No Audio or video on new iMac

Hello all.
I have a new iMac. 3.5months old. Just this week it started acting up on me. I cannot play any audio or video files. itunes won't play songs, YouTube won't play videos, etc. I can't figure it out. I've tried renewing Quicktime but it says i already have the newest version installed. When i try to play youtube vids for example....i get the 'blue lego icon' with a question mark beside it.
If anybody has any insight into this than please let me know.
Thanks
Overly Frustrated

What software have you installed during the past week, as in shortly before the problem developed? Have you recently used Maintenance applications like Onyx, etc?
When you try to play music in iTunes and it doesn't work, exactly how does it not work? Do you get some kind of error message? Does iTune act like it is playing the music but you just can't hear it? When you examine the Sound settings under System Preferences, does anything look questionable?
Take a movie you would ordinarily play using QuickTime. Highlight the movie file and then Right click on it. Under "Open With" are you given multiple choices of applications to open the file? Do any of them work?
If you do the same thing with a Music file NOT located within iTunes, are there any applications that work?
What browser are you using to access YouTube?
Sorry, no answers. Just more questions.

Keep audio and video layers linked in AE

Hi!
Is there any way to keep the audio layers linked to the corresponding video layers in AE so that the audio will automatically follow when ever I move a video layer?
Thank you in advance!

Thanks for your reply!
That's a bit disappointing though, since precomping individually tens of videolayers pasted from premiere will take a lot of time. It would be a nice feature for AE if you could tell audio layers to follow videolayers automatically. Actually when you think of it, it would be a great feature for any kind of layer: to be able to link two layers together so that moving the other in time will move the other also! Ah, and this brings me to another thing that I have been missing for a long time: the ability to group layers on a timeline in to folders for easy management (my comps have sometimes hundreds of layers and it would be very nice if I could organize them with folders, just like in Photoshop)!
What do you guys think? Is there any other way to accomplish these things? Could there be any expressions that might come to rescue?

Audio and video not linking

Hi all,
For some reason, the audio and video in my timeline won't link anymore. I have Linked Selection turned on, and when I highlight the video and audio clip and go to Modify < Link, it shows that Link is checked. So it should be on. However, when I select my video or audio, they move independantly of each other. I've tried trashing my preferences, and that didn't work either. Any ideas?
(I'm using FCE 4.0.1 on a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8)
Thanks,
-Matt

I'm surprised no one figured it out. I stumbled upon the answer. It's one of the two little boxes in the upper right hand corner of the timeline. The left one (linked) next to the snapping box.

Audio And Video Not Linked

When I drag clips from the Viewer to the Timeline I get audio and video together, but afterwards they are separate. They aren't selected together unless I do a shift-click selection, and even then I can't trim both at once. FCE does seem to remember that they should be in sync because I still get the little red boxes. This is probably just some little setting I inadvertently changed, but I have no idea what. Can someone please help?

eatrains
Linked clips (video and audio) will have an underline below the name, this can be toggled on or off with Modify>Link (Command-L).
For selecting in the Timeline there is a button at the top right. This only selects the video and audio at the same time, it does not Link/Unlink.
