Music video, starting with music?

I am trying to make a music video for work.  I have the song ready and have beat-marked some areas that I need to sync the video with.  I am unable to lay the video out over the audio, however.  It seems set up that you have to put the video down first, then the audio.
Is there a way to do it audio first, then video?

You can do audio first if you use beat markers. Otherwise, you must have at least a black background to put in audio.
Hear is a good tutorial on beat markers.

  • Making a basic Video starting with sound files only

    I'm totally new to Premiere and find it quite dauting. Basic tutorials don't really seem to be helping as they presume you start with a working video.
    What I have is several 30-60 second .wav files which I need to be in sequence most of them also have associated GIF images to go with them.
    I'd like to create a video which just plays the wav files and the the associated GIFs in sequence?
    How do I go about doing this? Help much appreciated.

    Before you add any Assets to a Video Track, it will be black, as there is nothing to show. However, that "empty" Video Track can be problematic with many Export options.
    Instead, I would Import the Audio files, and drag each to the Timeline, where you want them. Note: a 1-channel (Mono) Clip will ONLY go on a 1-channel Audio Track, but if you do not have one, and need one, just drag that 1-channel Clip to the Master Audio Track. It will not go there, but PrPro will create the necessary 1-channel Audio Track, and put the Clip onto it. Same for 2-channel (Stereo).
    When you have your Audio Tracks in place, go to the New icon at the bottom of your Project Panel, and click on that. From the drop-down, choose Black Video. When created, just drag that to say Video Track 1. It will probably be only 05 sec. long (the default), but just click+drag on the Tail of that Black Video Clip, to drag its Duration to match the Duration of the entire Audio Track(s).
    Then, Import the graphic Images. Drag each to say Video Track 2, above that Black Video. Adjust each Image's Duration, as needed. If required, you can adjust the Fixed Effects>Motion>Scale, and Motion>Position, if needed. You can also Keyframe those Fixed Effects, if you wish to animate them over time, i.e. Pan, and/or Zoom.
    Done.
    Good luck,

    You need to re-format the hard drive on the iPod. Not knowing which generation it is, I'll assume you're using USB. The procudure goes like this: first un-install both iTunes and any updater software you may have. Download the latest updater and run it first. Hopefully, the computer will recognize the iPod and you can proceed to re-format the iPod using the updater. Once that is done, disconnect the iPod. Now,install iTunes. Re-connect the iPod and iTunes will give the option of either synching automatically at that moment or not synching at all.

  • First Play at Preview ok, but not working correctly when Video started from DVD

    Hello
    I created a Project with Encore CS5.1. When i test via the "preview" button (disc symbol) everything works fine.
    When i export the Project to a DVD the Video starts directly with the Main Menue although i expect starting with the intro clip. As i said with encore preview everything works fine.
    Has anybody an idea how to solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance
    Rene

    Hi Bill and John
    Thank you for your feedback.
    Attached i'll send you a screen shot of the flow chart and the specs.
    I just created a new project with only the "Vorspann - Trailer" and the Main Menue. All other links are not created yet.
    With the preview everything is ok but if i create an image the video starts directly with the Main Menue.
    Kind regards and thanks again.
    Rene
    With preview ok
    Crate an image or DVD > video starts with direct play of the main menue

  • Starts with 15fps and quickly drops to 1fps

    I don't know what changed... it has been working fine for the past couple of years. For the past couple of months my video starts with 15fps and quickly drops to 1fps -- I still receive 15fps. . I have feeling it is either my cable provider or my Vonage strangling my bandwidth (both are the same since day one) maybe some settings were changed. When I do a speed test...up and down numbers are average or above for my cable provider.
    Quicktime is set to 1.5...T1/Lan etc.
    iChat bandwidth limit is set to none (tried all choices).

    Hi jw_17,
    Have a look at this page http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page16.html
    Most likely it it is a background process.
    In addition to the culprits found when Tiger came out listed on that page also open up Activity Monitor and check how many Widgets are active (shutting them down is best).
    Also check if a Print Monitor is listed as most likely this is Stuck and can be Force Quit from the button top left of Activity Monitor.
    The other possibility is that SpotLight is Indexing.

  • I'm having troube with music. Some artists that start with an "P" appear under the "R" menu and similarly throughout the alphabet. Same about albums, songs

    I'm having troube with music. Some artists that start with an "A" appear under the "B" menu and similarly throughout the alphabet. Same about albums, songs and genres. It suddenly happened after about 3 days of iOS 5 usage. Re-synchronization doesn't help. I also tried deleting some artists from ipod, but it doesn't help either.

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=3754
    59&tstart=0
    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
    Up
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

  • IPhone 6 will not sync music. This has become a problem since using itunes 12. It also will not sync all my pics and video's with my iPad 4  either. Removed and re-installed iTunes with no improvement.

  • How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

    How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

    Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
    See this iMovie Help topic:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
    You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
    Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

    Firstly, I purchased my first iPhone a few years ago, since then there have been a lot of apps released, a lot which I downloaded for free, tried and deleted from both my phone and my iTune 'Apps' Panel. What bothers me is when I do get a new iOS device, iPad and/or iPhone 5, and I don't want to just copy the back-up of my current iOS device to the new one, then to get the apps I want I will have to scroll through countless useless 'trash' applications in my purchase history to 'cloud download' the ones I want.
    Just sync the apps you want from your computer. You don't need to redownload them directly on the iPhone Purchased list.
    Will Apple be employing such a feature, a 'permanently delete/un-purchase' feature?
    Dunno.

  • Aperture - when you have saved a multi-media slideshow and you export it how do you make sure the audio track retains the volume drops that you programme in? I have video clips with audio, which when they play in the slideshow, I fade the audio (music)?

    Aperture - Sorry I'm new to this so this might be a bit long! I put together an aperture slideshow with a backing music track and some video interspersed with photos. When I exported it to put on you tube the audio backing track had not saved the fades that I had programmed when the video clips played. The video clips had audio on them that I set at one volume whilst fading the backing track. these fades didn't save on the exported version. Any suggestions please? Regards, Maxjackpete

  • Finally got round to buying an iPhone 4, really excellent to start with. The sharing of music from my Mac Mini was excellent. ios6 update has ruined all that! The artist view miss's out most of my music and the sharing sometimes doesn't work at all!

    How do I get this feature working again? I am reluctant to move to iTunes 10.7 because I don't trust Apple at the moment.

    My suggestion:
    1) Always using MAC AIR with the power plug in.
    2)Don' let the power level of battory fall under 30% percentage.
    3)If the MAC can't be recharged now, just let it be with power plugged, WAIT...

  • Itunes media folders for musical groups that Start with "The"

    I am using Itunes 10.7 and have selected the option of copying files to Itunes media folder when adding to library.  When I add a musician group that sometimes starts with "The" and other times don't start with "the" (eg Bee Gees or The Bee Gees) these two names are correctly sorted on the Itunes list - "The Bee Gees" sorts next to "Bee Gees".
    When I look at the folders in Itunes/Itunes Media/Music I get one folder for "Bee Gees" and a second folder for "The Bee Gees.  I have just started loading music into Itunes and already have 47 sets of folders where the groups are in two different folders - musical group name starting with "the" and another that does not start with the word "the".
    Suggestions?
    Thanks

    As Ed says, that's the way it works. For any similar group decide which of the two forms you think is correct and then use it consistently in Artist, Album Artist, and Composer when relevant. While not the ultimate arbiter of fact Wikipedia suggests that Bee Gees is the correct form in this example.
    See my article on Grouping tracks into albums for more.

    Please help!

    You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you sync with another one the iPod will be erased and its contents replaced with what is in the library of the second computer.
    However, you can manage music among multiple computers. See:
