Mixing Garageband Recording with my video

I want to record a choir with my Video camera and import to imovie. I want to record the audio with my mac using garageband and a nice mic to get a good sound. How can I import the audio to imovie and get the voices to sync with video?

After editing in GB, Share your GB project in AIFF, MP3, or AAC. You can either share to iTunes (for convenience) or share to a file.
In iMovie, open the Music Browser and navigate to your track in iTunes. If you shared to a file, open the finder, find the file, and drag it into your project and drop it on the frame where you want it to start.
For synching, you can use a clapperboard, or some people have suggested tapping the Mic with the camera so both will register the "click".
[This Video Tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#audioclips] may be helpful in understanding how to edit audio in iMovie. It is a video for iMovie 08, but not much has changed in 09.

  • Recording with iSight - Video Size option missing

    Ok, I hope someone can help me. I record video directly into iMovie using the built in isight on my mac. On the import window using the camera I used to have the option on the bottom to select the video size (640x480 or 1024x576). For some reason this is missing (the bottom frame is blank except for the camera selection options).
    I can't figure out how to get the higher resolution option back. Where did it go? Help!
    Thanks.

    I now use iMovie9 and Lion 10.7.2.  The choice bar is gone for me, too!
    To validate your experience, I started a new wide-screen project and imported from inbuilt iSight.  After dragging the new capture event into the new project, I clicked the "crop" button and found that all the resolution is still there!  I can  crop or re-frame by dragging the crop bars or area.  However, I cannot select the entire frame for inclusion in my project. 
    Based on this, it seems to me that full frame iSight recording has been sacrificed, probably so stabilization can use the edges.
    Unless someone else knows a way, it seems to me that if we want the old choices bar back, we will need to retreat to an older version.

  • Mixing external wave file into video

    I've recorded a video including sound of a mandolin being played.  At the same time I recorded the sound with my external recorder which resulted in a wave file of better quality that the sound from the camera.  I would like to import the video and the externally recorded wave file into a project, line up the external wave file with the sound recorded by the video camera and then delete the sound recorded with the video camera so I end up with a video that has the sound from the external recording system.  Any recommendations on a good approach to accomplishing this task?

    There's information here about how to use the new merged clips features in Premiere Pro CS5.5 to merge the audio from an external source with the video from the camera.

  • Recording with Garageband for IOS

    I wanted to share a recording or two using the ipad so that people could see that garageband for IOS doesn't suck.  I didn't spend too much time throwing them together, but at the same time they're not too horrible either. They give a pretty decent idea of what a 1st gen ipad with a 5 dollar app is capable of in regards to guitar and shred-type guitar stuff. I'm kind of sick of reading and listening to scathing reviews on how the ipad and Garageband in particular is for non-musicians and noobs who want to sound like they're making music... (ooo that could describe me... yikes!) If I could have had an ipad-like device when I was just getting started, I think that I would be a much better player today. I am totally blown away at the expectations people have of a 5 dollar program, when they haven't spent the time trying to see what it does do well. Anyways, here's hoping that this post helps people out that are trying to find out what the capabilities of an ipad with GB are, especially if they are a guitarist. At the end of the day, it is still the person using the device that either makes it sound horrible, mediocre or amazing...
    So anyways, I decided to make a quick track where I didn't spend too much time on the music, and I used only what was in GB in regards to my tones and stuff; That means all stock amp and pedal combinations. I also wanted a track that focused on guitar parts, and making the best of what the app has to offer. I'm sure with some tweaking and mucking around there could be some much cooler tones generated, but hey... it is what it is. Also, I used a Godin LGXT direct into the ipad with an Apogee Jam. Very inexpensive. Bass and drums were recorded with the Line6 Mobile25. The tablet's screen works too, but I find that the keyboard is a lot more accurate, especially for drums. Obviously, you could go into the drum and guitar parts and edit and tweak the parts further, creating drum parts that feel and sound a bit more lifelike, but I didn't do that here; this one was about direct recorded electric guitar...

    Arguably, you could also record your stuff via microphones also. In this case I used a Roland VS880 as a mixer (It was handy), with 4 CAD microphones connected to it to capture my drum kit. (I'm not much of a drummer, but you get the idea...) I then just lined out of the VS880 into the apogee Jam into the ipad. BANG! This app could work very easily for drummers also... or people who must have their tone and not a digital preset...

    I own a couple of good mac boxes loaded with killer software, and I also have some decent interfaces. They are pretty superior in regards to the amount of options that they present, without a doubt. And then when you include all of the 3rd party plugins and loops and stuff that you can get... well, it's very, very nice. The ipad intrigued me because it's self contained, and is extremely portable. It has limitations which force one to be kind of clever in order to work around them. Also, the recording process with an ipad is very, very quick. Setup time is minimal.  So anyways, with just Garageband, and an Apogee Jam (I have the irig connector also, but in my opinion the Jam is so much superior...). The only other thing I'd reccomend is the Line6 Mobilekeys25 which I used here; MUCH easier to enter notes in on bass and drums. Here's some points to sum up my opinions on my experience with the device;
    No it's not better than Logic or Cubase or prottols or something with an interface. It's only a 5 dollar app on a 600 dollar tablet (In my case an outdated 1st generation ipad).
    There's only 8 tracks, but you can bounce and merge.
    The amount of sections is limited, but you can work around that too...
    It's extremely portable. Way less gear to haul and set up, but feel free to use your own stuff with it also...
    GB on a tablet is very, very easy to learn. Super intuitive and quick to use.
    The amount of sections is limited, but again you could always just make another song project and then stitch it together later...
    The amp and pedal emulations aren't as good as Guitar Rig, a line6 Pod Pro hd, or a FAS Axe-FXII. But they aren't horrible, they are certainly pretty good for the price of 5 bucks...
    If you're broke/poor and want to get into recording and sharing your music, this is the ideal way to go about it. Your recording device (The ipad) also makes documents, does email, takes and edits pictures, takes and edits video... The only thing standing in the way of you sounding great is you...
    The 'merge track' option is a powerful tool, especially on your midi tracks.
    No pitch correction. Waaaaaahhh boo hoo! You're gonna have to learn how to sing. Plus, it's only 5 bucks!
    Don't want to use the internal drum sounds? Or want to use your amp's miced sound? Get a small mixer, and connect your mic to that. Then connect the mic to the Apogee Jam (There are other products out there that work better and in stereo, but this would do in a pinch) and you should be good to go.
    I recommend using a small keyboard like the Line6 Mobile Keys 25 to enter your midi/virtual instruments stuff in. For me, using just the pad means more track editing after I enter it...
    The last point is this; there's other software besides just GB. Cubasis anyone?
    Anyways, thanks for checking this out, I hope that it helps, and if anyone else has any opposing viewpoints or points to add, please do.

  • Recording with video

    Hi, I am trying to do a recording on my computer with Garageband. I have a m-audio fast track pro audio interface, and i hooked it up and it works fine.
    But now i want to figure out a way to hook up my camera and take a video with the moving picture from the camera but the music from my audio interface. If you dont understand, i want something like funtwo on youtube. how does he get the good quality?
    thanks...

    You just sync the video and audio together in a video editing program like iMovie.
    So you can play live while recording the audio and recording the video at the same time.
    Capture the video you shot in your editor. iMovie, Final Cut, etc...export the audio and drop it into your video editor timeline and line the audio up with with the video.
    If your cam records audio that can help you line it up. Or you can clap your hands on camera and sync the video hand clap with the audio hand clap. Or just visually line it up with your playing.
    Or use what you have recorded and then like lip syncing play along with the piece while video recording. Then sync it in your editor.

  • Problem viewing videos I recorded with the phone

    When trying to view videos I recorded with the phone, It gives me a message saying it is impossible to view this multimedia file format!
    It has been recorded with the phone and it can't watch it on the phone!? It doesn't recognize its own recording format
    Help please

    If the format is in 3GP you can view it with a player called VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/), or can try a video conversion program to convert it into a format your computer can read. Once such program can be found here http://www.avs4you.com/AVS-Video-Converter.aspx

  • BUG: Videos recorded with Lumia Camera can't be at...

    In Lumia Camera 4.9.3.0 on my Lumia 1020 OS version 8.10.14219.341, videos recorded with the Lumia Camera software cannot be attached to MMS messages. It doesn't matter what size or length they are or wether they were recorded with the front facing or rear facing camera... they won't attach to MMS messages.
    Instead, I have to load the Microsoft Camera app record the video with that, and that will allow sharing via MMS.  It's a pretty annoying bug with Lumia Camera.
    >>I was told to post this message to the nokia forums here after it was originally posted in the Windows Phone answer forums here.<<

    Good day, adamz1977. We would like to know more about your concern. Are you getting any error message when trying to attach a video? Have you already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Lumia Camera app? How are you trying to share it? Is it via Photos hub or via Messaging hub? Let's try isolating the issue. You may try updating the system apps. Go to Store > ... > settings > check for updates. If you haven't checked if there's an available update for your phone, here's how: Software Update for Lumia with Windows Phone 8. We look forward to your reply. 

  • How can I record with GarageBand 1.3 in the background using other app?

    How can I record with GarageBand 1.3 in the background using other app?
    I use iPad 2 with iOS 6 and GarageBand v1.3.
    I'd like to play an other app like Sunrizer synth while the GarageBand is recording in the background in a track.
    By now I can do it only using the build-in mic of iPad, but this is not the point.
    Can I record other apps in a GarageBand track?
    Thanks a lot for your time.

    I suspect you are probably correct about the reasoning, although there are already a myriad of ways to do that.
    Don't get me wrong - I never said I like this. But it is consistent with other Apple applications, that are similar restrictive; you cannot take a screenshot, when dvd-player is running for example.
    That are the moments, when I am glad that MacOS X is a unix system under the hood

  • What size is a video file recorded with ipod touch 4g

    just would like to know about what size would a one minute video recorded with the touch be, the same for a picture taken with it.  so i have an idea of which size ipod i should get.  of course, i'd like the 64gb, but right now i have a 32gb 1st gen touch loaded with 650 songs, 10 movies, photos and apps. it still has 18gb available.

    Thanks, it would be safe to guess that a picture wouldn't be more than 3 MB.  So, I would think that for what I'll be using an iPod, another 32gb should be enough as long as I download the files to a computer periodically.

  • No Audio on Videos Recorded with OS 2

    Hello After a few days with the version 2 I just realized that when I transfer the videos  I recorded with my PB to my MAC, the videos dosen´t have audio.
     All the videos recorded with the OLD PB version does have audio.
    I have PB 2.0.0.7971 and Mac OSX 10.7.3
    Thank you.
    PS. All videos work great on PB.

    No, I imported by two different ways:
    1.- Direct from PB as USB.
    2.- Importing media from BlackBerry Desktop Software.
    In both cases same result no audio in videos recorded with PB 2.0

  • Recording with audio playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into real time?

    Ive recorded a test video with audio/music playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into "real" time?
    If I'd slowed the audio playback down 50% I would make the video 100% faster.
    If I'd slowed the audio playback down 100% I would make the video 200% faster.
    So its obviously somewhere inbetween speeding up by 100-200%
    Sorry but its melting my brain today and I cant remember the calculation.
    thanks

    hey all
    Thanks for the advise on this. I will explain a little more what am have/am intending to do.
    I have used Audacity to slow the song down (Effect>Change Tempo)
    Audacity will allow me slow the original song down by up to 99% (Or anything in-between up to 3 decimal places)
    Unfortunately I am working to a time restraint of 12 minutes per clip (as my DSLR will only allow up to a 12 minute clip).
    The song at normal speed is 4 minutes long.
    Originally I slowed the audio down by 50% (Making the audio 8 minutes long), lip synced to it using a rasta blaster and recorded the video using my DSLR at 720p 50fps.
    I then imported the video and audio I had been lip syncing to into FCPX.
    I sped up the video by x2 (equivalent to speeding it up 200%)
    Retime>Fast 2X
    Layered the PROPER normal speed audio back over the top and all was fine.
    Test video complete.
    (You can ignore the 65% slowed down audio I mentioned earlier if you like, that was just an example of a slower than 50% audio test)
    Firstly what I really want to do is to be able to slow the AUDIO down as much as possible (But still within the restraints of only being able to adjust FCPX retiming within a whole 1 percentage in the final video edit), but have the AUDIO of the song as near to/under 12 minutes as possible.
    I will then re-record the video again to this new slowed down audio.
    Secondly I will speed up the video from 12 minutes to 4 minutes.
    Thirdly I will layer the correct 100% Normal AUDIO on top.
    The FINISHED video should then look like everyone is wizzing around at high speed but the guitar playing/lyrics look like they are being played/sung at the normal speed.
    Whatever happens (due to the constraints of FCPX) I need the calculations to work so that FCPX is retimed exactly to a whole 1% for the final video to sync up correctly.
    So what I need to know in a nut shell is:-
    What calculation do I use to work out the percentage to slow a 4 minute song down to a 12 minute song?
    What calculation do I use to work out the percentage of how much I need to then speed the 12 minute video up to turn it back into a 4 minute video?
    My mind is melting

  • Ridiculously Awesome Sound Recording with Video

    Although I was aware that the mic's on the 928 were touted to be better at recording loud music than most other phones out there, I never had a chance to put it to the test.
    Last week I was at a small bar and recorded my friends band playing. I was really close to the speakers and they were fairly loud.  I made sure to turn off the sound filter in the recording setting of the video.  Just for comparison, I had my brother record with me on his Razr Maxx. The next morning I played the video back from my phone and plugged in some good earphones.
    OMG! No distortion at all!!!  Full clean bass!!!  Full mids and highs!!!  Crisp and Clear!  My brothers sound on his recording was a huge distorted mess! Anyone else have similar experiences?  TI wanna make sure this wasnt just some freak luck with video recording...

    First, what is the file format, and its specs. for the remote recorder?
    Though the rates of modern cameras and digital recorders SHOULD match 100%, in the real-world, they seldom do. This make perfect syncing a labor intensive process.
    One should do tests between the cameras and the recorders, to find out the % or error. Then, adjust their Audio to match first. As an example, one user in the PrPro Forum tested his Panasonic cameras, and his Zoom recorders, and found that the Zooms were off by 0.04% constantly. To correct this, he used the Time Remapping (with Maintain Pitch checked), and would apply that adjustment to all of the Zooms' files - perfect sync.
    As for the Waveform not displaying for your remote recorder, did you allow those files to completely Conform (creation of the CFA and PEK files, the latter is the Waveform Display)? See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/726693?tstart=30
    Also, you should be able to increase the vertical zoom of your Audio Tracks, and hence any Clips on them, by hovering the Cursor over the junction between Tracks, in the Track Header, and when it turns into a = sign, with up/down arrows, click+drag. Then, you should be able to find commonality in the beginning, to sync up to. Tip: for this critical work, toggle the Snap feature OFF, with the S key.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
