Linking Video & Recorded audio

Hey all,
My most recent production I decided to capture audio separately using a field recorder rather than hooking the sound directly to the camera.
This project has a lot of video and sound files, all logged separately. Is there any way that I can sync up the audio and video for each clip before I start editing them together in the timeline?

Hi -
You can make the separate audio and video clips into synced "Merged Clips".
In FCP, go the menu Help > Final Cut Pro Help and select Final Cut Pro 7: User Manual. When that loads, search for: "Using Synchronization Points to Create Merged Clips"
It will explain the whole process, and it will do exactly what you want.
Hope this helps.

  • Linking video to audio

    Hi
    I have an isight camera in my imac (never used it) & was wondering if i can record (just solo guitar possibly with vocal) using logic & somehow link it to video. To post on youtube or something like that.
    Assuming my isight camera records video?
    Cheers

    In the top right corner of the timeline there are two tiny buttons. click the first one with two small oval shaped icons. It turns green. Now select the audio and video you want together and if they are not yet click Command + L while video and audio clips you want to link are selected. Now they should be linked!

  • Linked video and audio do not move together on timeline

    Hello, I have been working in a project for a couple of days and cannot find out why the video and audio do not move together when one of them is dragged laterally on the timeline. They are linked yet do not move together. I seem to remember one of the first clips I dragged down to the timeline did what it should but they do not behave as they should. If I click on both clips the only option is unlink. When I move one part in the timeline it shows me how much they are out of sync.Any ideas?

  • How to link video and audio channels of multiple clips

    Importing iMovie08 sequence via XML ends up with unlinked video and audio channel (only one of the stereo channels; see other post).
    It is possible to link each clips audio and video track individualy.
    Is there a way to do it in batch mode for all the clips in de timeline??

    1. After selecting the in points on main audio and one of two video tracks, the "merge clips" is greyed. Yes,in case you're wondering, the audio is on the HD.
    Your use of language is confusing me I'm afraid. You opened the AIFF file and set an IN then opened a QuickTime movie and set and IN and then with them both selected in the Browser (and the Browser the active window) that you cannot select Modify->Merge Clips... ?
    I wasn't wondering anything about your audio, but now I'm wondering "What does 'the audio is on the HD' mean?"
    2. The other issue is that the starting point is silent, so the only I know how to find the actual beginning is by counting frames back from the first sound. Is that what I have to do? Is would seem to me that there must be a "marker" that's not and "in" or "out" that will allow me to merge the tracks. No?
    If you set an IN point in two clips you can merge them using the Merge Clips... command with the in points option. The IN points you choose can be anywhere and for anything. They can be where the clapper hits and sounds, they can be where a drum stick hits a cymbal, they can be where someone is clapping, they can be where a body falls from a building onto the sidewalk... Anything that helps you sync the sound with picture.

  • Video Recording - Audio distorted / missing?

    I went to a showcase last night and recorded a video of one of the performances. The music was pretty loud, but not any louder than any other show. I had no problem enjoying the music without my ears hurting and my ears are pretty sensitive.
    I checked the recording (3 min long) today and the sound is terribly distorted for the first minute or so and then cuts out completely. Obviously this wasn't the case during the show. I tried another sample recording of me just talking and it works and sounds fine. The video file also sounds the same when transferred to my computer.
    Does anyone have any thoughts or has had this happen to them?

    I had the same issue. Recorded songs at concerts 2 nights in a row and at a loud nightclub. Audio terribly distorted most of the time. Sound cuts in and out completely at seemingly random times (no pattern based on sound volume - the shows were at a fairly constant level of loudness - very loud). At first I thought I may have accidentally been hitting some button/screen item on the phone while recording, but I don't think there is anything on the phone that would produce the on and off sound situation. Never have this problem when recording in normal sound level situations. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. If I need some app or external mic, I'd be happy to get it so I can record at concerts.

  • Re-linking video and audio

    Hi,
    I had to take a clip I captured and fix it because the audio went out of sync after the camera began filming again for some reason. So I had to take the clip and move the audio over by one second. How do I re-link the audio and video after cutting it so that it is one clip and it is easier to cut without having to worry about both audio and video separately?
    Thanks

    Select both your audio and video clips. Press Shift & L keys.

  • Quicktime video recording - audio delay

    If i try to record a video using quicktime and my built-in webcam, and have the audio volume turned up so i can monitor as i record, there is a delay.
    This is the only program that delays audio as i record. To be clear, the final video is not out of sync, its just the audio delays if i try to listen as i record (important if you are recording guitar like i do)
    Any way to make it not delay?

    JTBluesmaker, When you record the computer has to capture the video/audio and then convert the video/audio and then play it back. I believe Quicktime is monitoring the recoding and not the audio input. With that, I would say there going to be a slight delay.
    If you have something like Apple's GarageBand you should be able to monitor the audio input.

  • Link Video w/ audio on import

    Hi,
    I am an Adobe starter. When I imported all my reels from an Avid project to Premiere, I got avi-video-viles and wav-audios, i can load them into the cut window but in the preview/source screen I can only either see the picture OR hear either one of my audio tracks. How do I link both so that I can both see and hear my material in preview before i decide what to cut into my new sequence?
    Nik

    You're welcome. Happy editing.
    You will also find links to many free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

  • Video and audio linking problem, and others?

    So, I am having 2 main problems. When I first started using FCE everything was great. Then, I changed some settings, and for some reason, it doesn't work like I want it to. So, my first problem is linking. When I import, it is automatically unlinked, but I think FCE thinks that it is! When I do press Apple L (shortcut to link video and audio) it still isn't linked! How can I get it to link?
    My 2nd problem may be linked to the first. When I want to make a cut right on the playhead, it is really hard to get it on the playhead. Previously, it would just snap on the playhead if I got close, and now it doesn't! How can I get it to snap better?
    Thanks for all the help!

    1) Make sure linking (Shift-L) is turned on before you add your clip to the timeline. To manually link audio tracks to your video tracks select the two and go to +Modify > Link+ (Command-L).
    2) Make sure snapping is turned on in the timeline. Hit the "N" key to toggle it on or off.

  • Linking All Video and Audio Clips at Once

    I'm running the most recent version of Premiere CC 2014 on OSX.
    Somehow I accidentally unlinked every video and audio track on my timeline (I didn't make them offline - I unlinked them so that they select independently on my timeline when I want linked video and audio from the same clip to select simultaneously).
    I don't want to have to go through my entire timeline and re-link every clip. Is there a way to easily select all media and link it? I've tried highlighting everything, right clicking and selecting "Link," but this hasn't worked.
    Any tips would be appreciated.

    I have to start you from the beginning to make sure everything is set correctly.
    Under the Edit menu, make sure "Linked Selection" is checkmarked (also Shift+L).
    Once that is done, make sure the video clip is linked the it's corresponding audio in the timeline. Do this by selecting them all, and choosing "Link" under the Modify menu (or hitting command + L).
    Try that and if it doesn't work we'll go from there.

  • Recording audio with linked video input

    my audio and video editing skills are quite proffessional
    but i dont know - technicaly - how to edit them together?
    how to capture my self recording a take -
    and have the video and audio - synced in logic and easy to edit when the sound is "master"?
    i think they do it in this video?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIr8-f2OWhs
    what camera to use?
    is logic pro 9 workstation is capable of doing this?
    or better with Final Cut Pro 4?
    thanks

    hi,
    that kind of work is made in conjunction with FinalCut and Logic ( or something else ) ... they probably record the music first and sync images with an editing software.

  • Recording Video and Audio at Same time with simultaneous sync

    I want to record a keyboard performance into garageband and at the same time record the playing of that performance with my video camera. Then I want to create a movie using the music from garageband and the video from the camera. I was thinking that if I can sync the video and audio when I'm recording the session, then that part is taken care of. Or, maybe this is easier than I think it is?
    Is there a way to do this so that I can use the garageband record performance and have it synced to the video on the camera?
    I don't want to use the audio from the video camera because the performance that is captured in Garageband will be much better and I can do editing of the individual notes in GB.
    In the end, I just want to make a movie and/or podcast of the performance.
    I'm a newbie regarding this, but I did search the forums and couldn't find anything specific. Mostly it was about importing video into GB3 and then syncing new audio. I'll basically have audio and video from the same performance in two separate locations and I want to bring them together perfectly in Garageband.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Okay. I got the video and audio all together. I told you I'd link to it when it was up.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxssYpUNJm8
    There's also a copy of it at http://www.myspace.com/bonjimmy/
    And as a quick side comment, even though I uploaded the same video to both YouTube and MySpace, the MySpace version is much better. YouTube must do something to the video after it's uploaded.
    What I learned doing this project:
    I recorded the video first (which gave me the sequencing of the piano performance) and then I dubbed the audio in later. However, there wasn't a good way to sync the video and the prerecorded piano, so there are some spots where the dubbed audio vocal isn't accurate to the video. I'm not sure what the pros do for this. I was hoping I'd remember how I sang for the video but when a couple weeks go by before re-doing the audio, it's about impossible. I tried, though.
    I remember working with an old 4-track and smpte to a sequencer a long time ago. With the way it is now, it's pretty cool that you can record digitally and mix and match and everything falls together perfectly as long as you have a place to match the video and the audio. It's pretty cool.
    What else???
    Does anyone have suggestions that would have made it better? Also, if you have suggestions on my performance or whatever, I'd love comments, but you can do that on the linked page.
    Thanks again for all your help. (The point of the video is because I'm thinking about getting back out there and doing some more playing... I'm looking for a band or something else interesting...)

  • Can you link Audio to any video in time line so it functions as if you imported a video with audio?

    Hi there...
    I have video and I also have externally recorded audio to sync with it. Now I understand that you can drag the video in (delete its audio if it has any) and then drag a audio clip into the timeline and place it under neath it. I can get it synced and all that fine.
    The problem I have is that it is cumbersome to edit like this. When you import a video with embedded audio if you make a cut it cuts the video AND the audio attached to it in one go. If you do it the way I am doing now you need to add extra cuts on the audio file as well. So you effectively doubling the clicks needed to edit. Also when you are deleting clips and sliding stuff about you need to be extra careful to make sure that the audio and video stays in sync.
    What I am hoping for is a way to "attach" the audio to the video with out adding a long and time consuming process of rendering out a video file with it embedded.
    Solutions I have tried and failed.
    GROUP : This seams like the obvious thing to do.. If I group them I can select them as one, move them as one.. but if I select the cut tool it still only cuts either the video or audio.. not both.
    SEQUENCE : The other option I tried is once it is synced I make a new sequence and add the sequence with the synced audo and video to it and then edit on that. I am not editing a sequence not the raw audio and video. The problem here is that while now the cut tool cuts both the video AND audio at once and I can also move and edit easily.. the problem is that now the wave form dose not show up in the audio track when you expand it. It is just a big blank green box (even though there is audio in the original sequence)
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I'm still using Cs6.... I found that if you hold shift+click with the cut tool it cuts it.. I'll try link as shifting is a pain...
    Maybe there is a way to set teh shift+click as the default action for the cut tool?

  • How can I use QuickTime to make a screen recording that has both video and audio?

    How do use QuickTime to make a screen recording that can be saved with both video and audio together?

    do you know of any software that would record a QT movie playing on my Mac screen with both audio and video?
    I have used Ambrosia's Snapz Pro X ($69) for years, but they are currently upgrading their Kext (Kernel Extension) software for changes inroduced by the Lion release so it might not be your best bet at this time. I also use ScreenFlow but it is a combination capture and editing utility which runs $99 and may include more features than you may need or will use. Have also tried Screenflick ($29) which, to some extent, appears to have a functionality somewhere between that of Snapz Pro X and ScreenFlow. It is a bit more complicated to set up but for the price might be the best bargin at this point. All three can capture the entire screen or a portion thereof, with or without mic/line and/or system audio. (Or at least they all will as soon as Ambrosia updates its Kext routine.)
    Here is a URL link posted by QTKirk three days ago to an article that recaps of a number of currently available third-party screen capture apps from around the world several of which may interest you: http://mac.appstorm.net/roundups/utilities-roundups/10-screen-recording-tools-fo r-mac/
