I am trying to create multiclip like I have done loads of times and video and audio are split (not synced) when they are synced up beforehand. red line runs between on multiclip timeline and there is no audio?!

Not sure i believe dv. original footage audio out of sync, I synced it up placed 2nd video footage with it. copy and pasted in new bin created multiclip and no sound and video and audio not placed together

How to split video and extracted audio clip at same time?

I imported 10 min of DV from my Sony HC96 camcorder to iMovie 6.
I selected a video clip and split it using cmd-T but the extracted audio clip below it did not split. How can I split both the video and underlying audio clip so I can drag the edge of the new video clip for editing by direct trimming and keep the audio dialogue in sync. I have already gotten the clip volume levels right in the extracted audio.
This seems pretty basic editing but I must be missing something.
thanks, ralph

Thanks, Sue. Let me see that I have this right. I split the video then the audio. I then selected and trimmed the video to the remove the 10-15 seconds I wanted to remove. To keep the dialogue in sync with the speaker's lips, I then selected and trimmed the audio to the same time as I trimmed the video. Then I dragged the audio clip back up to the new start of the trimmed video clip. I did this and the dialogue and lips seem to be in sync.
I guess originally I had looked for a solution where I cut both clips at the same time and trimming one trimmed the other. But now I see I just need to do them separately. Thanks for the help, Sue!

Hi Ralph:
You can't do both at the same time, but you can do
them one right after the other. Highlight the audio
and split it after you split the video and be sure to
keep the playhead in the same position.

The best Mac MTS Splitter-Editing/splitting AVCHD MTS/M2TS videos successfully on Mac

I have recorded a long video with Sony HDR-CX700 Camcorder, but there are some parts I would like to cut off. I once thought a video converter is a must for cutting videos.But I search for a long time , found may spliter and converter just for windows, no MAC. Yesterday, my friend recommended me try Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac. Not only can help me frame by frame cutting/splitting AVCHD without re-encoding, but also can help me convert mts to Apple ProRes and AIC codec for Final Cut Pro/ iMovie.
I think should have many users need a program that allows for (frame by frame) cut AVCHD MTS/M2TS videos files.If you are looking for any frame accuracy solution to do with the AVCHD videos encoded in MTS format on Mac, Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac is the best choice for you. This is the first Mac software which can help HD camcorders users to realize frame by frame editing/splitting AVCHD MTS/M2TS videos successfully on Mac.
Here I would like to demonstrate the simple steps to cut AVCHD MTS/M2TS videos files without re-encoding on Mac.
Step 1. Load AVCHD MTS videos to Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac.
- To load AVCHD videos from camcorder
Connect camcorder to computer with USB cable, and run Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac, you will be asked to follow the wizard. Otherwise, click the Camcorder button to load camcorder videos.
You can choose to backup the videos to computer or just import videos. Here we just select Import to add videos from camcorder to the program.
Step 2. Add MTS files for split with no recompression.
Click the Add movie button, and a movie for lossless output will be created by default. Select the MTS files you would like to cut mts from the Camcorder tab, drag and drop to the movie.
Step 3. Split/Cut AVCHD video.
From the timeline, you may notice the vernier, which is used as time pointer. Click on the Vernier, and move to the timeline you want to cut, and click the "Split" button to cut the video. You may also click the Split button when the video plays to the point you want to cut.
Then click on segment you want to cut off from the timeline, and then click the Delete button next to the Split button to remove the unwanted part.
Step 4. Export videos without conversion.
Choose Export in the main interface, and click the OK button to get videos without recompression. You will get the cutted/splitted AVCHD without quality lost in a few minutes.

I hear good things about ClipWrap. The other good one is Voltaic HD from Shedworx.
I suggest that you read their websites and choose the best one for you.
I think they have demo versions.
If you import directly from your camera, you don't need these.
Also, for future reference, you can use the Create Camera Archive feature on the Import screen. This will save your AVCHD files exactly as they are on your camera, but it will also preserve the metadata from your camera so that iMovie can import it later. It is a good way to save the contents of your camera at its original size and full quality.
When you import AVCHD into iMovie it is converted into Apple Intermediate Codec for better performance, but it will be a larger file size because it is less compressed.
With ClipWrap, you have the option to keep the file at its original size, but I would not recommend this for performance reasons. (But you can try it if you have a powerful Mac).

Splitting large imported video files

Hello,
I have a number of old videos that were recorded on an old VHS camera. Thanks to previous help from this forum I can now successfully import them into FCE4
Is it possible to import the whole 3hr VHS tape into FCE4 & then split the large video file into smaller files using FCE4 ? or do I need another program to do this – if so please suggest a suitable program.
Thanks
JohnHutchinson

Helo Tom,
Thanks for your reply.
Since there are many “episodes” on the three hour VHS tapes I don’t really want to keep stopping the import after each “episode” I’m looking for a quick way to import the video file. I was hoping I could import the full three hours in one go, then break the very large media file into the various “episodes” using either the scrubber bar in FCE4 or something similar in another program. Some of the material on the VHS tapes in not worth keeping, I was hoping to delete the sections no longer required thus saving valuable disc space.
Regards
John Hutchinson

Program to split video file?

Hello
I have a 20 min 50 fps video , and i would like to split it in 2 parts without loosing too much quality.
Is there a program that will let me do this for free? i also want to have sound in AAC and keep the video at 50 fps.
Thank you

Solved , used Quick Time and it didnt even compress the video

How do I transfer video WITHOUT it automatically splitting into clips?

I would like to transfer some home DV movies into digital and put them online, but iMovie keeps splitting them into clips with every cut. I can't figure out how to get the entirety of those movies as a whole without having to re-connect them like a puzzle. Is there any way to do this?

Is there any way to do this?
Are you mixing content? If not, try manual capture. Use the camcorder as if it were a manual video cassette player and iMovie '08 (or a dedicated capture application like Vidi) was a manual recording device.

[Python pygame] Graphic equalizer - keeping sound and video in sync

Hi!
I'm writing a graphic equalizer in python and I want to use pygame for the video and audio output.
The video display of the moving bars works great, now that I have a correct way to read samples and decode them.
The problem now is: they're way out of sync with the audio playing in the background!
At the moment my code, that draws the bars basically looks like this:
# loop as long as we can get slice of the audio file for the fft
for n_frame in range(0, len(framebuffer), fftframesz):
clock.tick_busy_loop(t_loop)
# t_loop was defined as fftframesz over total_frame_count
# which means in words: t_loop is the amount of FFTs per second - or the cycles of THIS loop
# grab the frames and perform the fft here
...numpy.fft.fft...
# set the new bar heights and draw them
for bar in bars:
bar.update()
# if playback has not started yet, make it so
if not pygame.mixer.get_busy():
musicfile.play()
The way I'm thinking, this should be enough to keep sound and video in sync. Because we know the time that one cycle should take at most,
we can set the clock to tick_busy_loop this time. This way we make sure that the video is not faster than the sound.
But to me it seems that is is the other way round, i.e. that the video is slower than the sound. I already did some timing, but to no avail.
Is there perhaps a more easy, more elegant way to make sure that image and audio are in sync?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your ideas. I assume you mean I should go with a $1200.00 final cut pro software. NOT.
Sure the video will be on myspace and youtube but wether they are noticed or not is not as important as self satisfaction. I can easily split scenes into equal time zones as I said. Then drag them into clips and back all using the same camcorder. Multiple cameras and angles would be nice but this can be done on a low budget and still look good. I guess my original questions were not answered. Is there a way to determine the length of a transition and shorten the clip by that amount. Or the length of a still shot and do the same. Or perhaps they have been answered and the answer is NO WAY, and I am just not hearing it.
I suppose reimporting a video would be great if I could use two timelines like in audio and then blank out what I don't want in the first. But I just don't think this is possible, or is it. I've been reading iMovie HD6 The Manual that should have been in the box. It's a help but doesn't take you from the beginning of a project to the final project. Exporting to imovie or idvd is not an issue. BTW I got the clips in sync as I said by leaving blank spots and placing effects over them. I could insert the proper length video in those spots but that can look silly without transitions. But then again so can transitions. This stuff is very fun and interesting and a great learning experience. If I stop now as you suggest then I am not pushing myself to the limit. But thanks for your reply.

How to do a locked split-screen between two different video tracks

I'm creating two time-lapse videos and then I'm planning to to play them side-by-side in one sequence.
The way I was planning to do this was to scoot one video track over using the "center" tool in the motion panel, and then crop it on its right-hand edge to reveal the other video track beneath.
The problem with doing this however is that, as the camera gets bumped or moved slightly as the months go on, and I then have to cut and reposition the "center" location for the clip, I have to then adjust the amount of crop on that video clip since I've moved its position. This means the center split-screen location keeps changing as I move the video around.
Is there a way where I can just lock the split screen smack in the middle of the frame as I tinker with each side of the frame (video track) independently? I tried adding a split-screen transition in the very beginning to the top track, but I can't make cuts on a transition to then adjust the motion attributes.
Any ideas on how to simplify this process would really be appreciated. Originally, I thought there was no easier way to do this, but I was so blown away by all the answers to my motion effects question today (and all the things I never knew about FCP) that I thought it wouldn't hurt to see if someone out there had one more ace up their sleeve. If not, I'll assume this is one of those things that can't be simplified anymore than what I'm doing.
Thanks again guys,
Chris

Though David's Motion Tracking suggestion would eliminate alot of later finagling, you could try something similar to Reink's, without using Photoshop.
Try this...
1. In a seperate timeline, drop a Matte/Color Solid into the new timeline (using dropdown at bottom right of Viewer window).
2. Dbl-click the color solid, click on Controls tab and set Parameters as H/0, S/0, B/100. Then click the Motion tab/Crop Right-50.
3. Click the Viewer's Video tab and go to Export/QTConversion/Still Image (png) and name it something like WhiteMatte_CropR50.
4. Import that into your project.
5. Now with your two timelapse clips on V1 and V2 with in/out points at head/tails and both tracks highlighted...'Nest' the sequence...Main Menu/Sequence/Nest Item(s).
6. Next, with the nested sequence active (single clip will look light purple)...option-double click on it and and drop an Image Mask Filter on it, then drag the WhiteMatte.png clip into the 'image well' (little box that has a question mark in it). Keep the channel on Luminance.
7. Now, if you dbl-click the nest, it will open it's host sequence, that you can do your 'Motion Tab/Centering' on, without affecting the 50% split down the middle.
May seem like alot of work, but it's not really.
K
p.s...there are probably other ways to do this as well.

Video Editing is Causing Audio Tracks to Split

During workflow and after I've added audio to the timeline, I notice that I need to trim the video. Why is Adobe splitting the audio tracks at the point where I edited the video? This is creating a largw gap on the audio line. Am I missing a preference somewhere that locks the audio track to the timeline? Or am I going to have to keep editing the audio track after trimming the video? It seems like a lot of extra work for nothing if I really don't need to move or edit any of the audio.

Unfortunately, Track Locking is not a feature of PrE, though I have filed several Feature Requests. PrPro has that capability, since at least PrPro 1.0.
However, as Steve points out, using the Ctrl modifier key, changes the behavior, and turns off the default Ripple Edit function. Because of the inability to Lock a Track (Audio, or Video), I recommend that one not add an Audio Track (other than the camera Audio that accompanies the Video), until the editing is done. It can become a bit "messy." Now, if one is editing a "music video," that is not the ideal workflow, and Track Locking would be very, very useful.
Good luck, and if you agree that Track Locking is useful, I invite you to also file a Feature Request.

How to split additional music on a video clip

Good day,
I'm designing a project, with both photos where I sometimes add my voice and video clips where I want to keep the original sound.
I want to add music on every photo part, but none on every clip part.
I did not find a way to cut an additional music and move it to the beginning of the next photo sequence.
For instance, let's assume thet the project begins with a 25 seconds pictures sequence, the a first video clip, then a 30 seconds photos sequence and finally a second video clip ; what I want to do is add one music file, play the beginning of the music with the first sequence, then cut the music and move the cut part to the photo sequence, then to do the same with the other photo sequence, in order to have no music added to the video clip. Consequently, the music will be split in 2 parts (it could be more).
Does anybody have any idea about the way to proceed?
Thank you.
Claude

You should be dropping it below the timeline but it looks as though you may be using music in a strange format.
Exactly what type is the music?

Splitting video and audio tracks

Hi folks!
I'm a newbie to the whole world of mac and this is my first time using imovie. What I am trying to do is to split the video track and keep the audio from it and run that over another video track, then come back to the original video track... so basically putting in a cut-away... is this possible with imovie?
Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi - I was getting help from someone else on this aduio issue - and saw this post, so hope you don't mind my asking you too -
I extracted the sound out of a video clip. The track of sound got put doen below the clip, like it should. And it zerod out the original clip audio as it should.
The 3rd audio track is a separate song, that plays over the video track. When I play the timeline back, all is fine. But when I record the dvd [and I have tried over 20 times in various ways this week], even though the preview [I am using Toast 6] shows the movie playing right, when the recorde dvd comes out, the audio that I extracted and deleted, still plays. [and the song plays right, but is suppose]. I have clicked on the video clip, and it shows 0% ...
ANy thoughts? i movie 5, G4 [ps - I've made movies before and haven't had trouble]

How to reposition split screen clip keeping complex keyframing?

New to PP and trying to learn best practices for split screen sequences.
Lets say the screen is split into 3 vertical panels each with its own video of a person, the panels created by cropping. Each person has been meticulously position/scale/cropping-keyframed to center their faces in the middle of the vertical panel, rather than bouncing around the frame like in the original clips.
How do I reposition this center panel to the left side with one fell swoop, keeping all the keyframes so the face is still centered in the panel?

I want to move video to an external hard drive but keep my photos on my mac. How do I do this without losing all my details?

I am looking to free p space on my mac book pro by moving all my video that downloads into iPhoto and keep it on an external hard drive. How do I move only the video and keep all the info associated with them? Will iPhoto recognize and keep them organized as before!?

All you can do is select the videos (smart album with keyword = movie) and export them then delete in iPhoto with the optional information available during export - you can not "split" an iPhoto library between two drives

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

You can migrate a copy of the data to a new account, then delete the other person's data from each account. To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you have any synced notes that you want to keep on the phone, email these to yourself so you can create new notes in the new account.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. You will create a new icloud email address with you turn Mail to On.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).

How can I display & split the audio & video from the same digitized clip?

I digitized a scene into iMovie that I edited on a professional system which I don't have access to anymore. The whole scene is 1 clip. Now I see a few tweaks that I want to make, so I was hoping to do them in iMovie.
I want to "pull up" the audio in one section - meaning I want to take cut about 20 frames of audio from the end of a shot, and then move all the other audio up to fill the hole. To compensate for the missing 20 frames, I'll cut video off the head of the next shot. Some call this prelapping. Some call it an L-cut. Some call it asymmetrical trimming. Either way, I can't figure out how to do it in iMovie.
My clip appears in the timeline as one track - a single track that contains the video and 2 audio tracks. How can I display the audio that's tied to the video on its own track? Then I think I could split audio & video wherever I wanted and trim things up - but I can't figure out how to do it.
Am I asking too much of this software?
BTW, I never see the option to "Split audio clip at playhead". I'm not displaying clip volume or waveforms. Choosing to display waveforms doesn't show me anything. Maybe iMovie thinks I'd only want to see waveforms of audio that isn't tied to my video-and-audio clips?
Thanks in advance for any help...

Jordon,
"Am I asking too much of this software?"
No, you're not.
You first want to select your clip(s) and choose Advanced>Extract Audio.
This will copy the audio from the video clip and place it on one of the two separate audio tracks while lowering the audio level to zero in the original video track.
You can now edit and move the audio independently of the video.
With the audio clip selected, you'll find you now have access to Edit>Split Selected Audio Clip at Playhead.
