Need help recording Video over pre-recorded Audio

I'm making a music video, the audio has already been recorded, but I am having such a hard time trying to figure out how to record the video over it. I need to be able to hear the audio track while recording so I can sync it properly, but whenever I click on the 'Open Camera Import Window' button, it doesn't allow you to playback the audio. What is the easiest way I can go about this?
PS. If my question is vague or unclear, I'm sorry. Every person I have asked said they had no clue what I was asking.

Hi Rick,
Thank you for your response.....I have always done this process using other software for the videos....so the process here is different for me.
I pre record the audio first, then edit to remove all of the terrible sounds...breathing, mispoken words, etc...clean up the audio, then add a background music track all in Audacity. Then, I add that track in and record my video over it. I am creating a tutorial for a software company on how to use their software.
This may seem backward. My question now, I am in Captivate 7, I press video demo and it goes straight to recording the video before I have a chance to import the audio track. I need the audio track so I can get the video to follow the audio...if that makes sense.
Cheers...Robert

Record video into finalcut and audio multitrack into logic in sync

Hi,
I'm an experienced logic user but new to video.
What is the best way to record video and audio multitrack!! synchronously?
Can I record video direct to my harddisc and synchronously record audio into logic or soundtrack pro? We have two separate macs available.
-Can I connect finalcut with logic via rewire or do I need additional sync hardware?
-How can I start record simultaneously for finalcut and logic?
-Do I need finalcut pro?
-Can I record video and audio directly and simultaneously into soundtrack pro or finalcut?
I currently work with a cutter who uses canopus but assign each video take to each audio take is so time consuming. There must be a better solution for video production.
Any feedback appreciated,
Thanks Eddie

I may be wrong about this, but AFAIK…
Can I record video direct to my harddisc and synchronously record audio into logic or soundtrack pro?
No.
-Can I connect finalcut with logic via rewire or do I need additional sync hardware?
FCP is not ReWire compatible.
-How can I start record simultaneously for finalcut and logic?
You can not.
-Do I need finalcut pro?
Maybe, but I can't say one way or the other. What is your goal with video?
-Can I record video and audio directly and simultaneously into soundtrack pro or finalcut?
You can record directly into FCP, either via FW or SDI (if you have supporting hardware)
I currently work with a cutter who uses canopus but assign each video take to each audio take is so time consuming. There must be a better solution for video production.
Not familiar with Canopus, so I can't comment.
Any feedback appreciated,
Some editors find the term "cutter" to be an unfair characterization of what they do. We do waaaaay more than just cut out the bad takes!

Need Help in Inserting first ever record

I need help in inserting my first ever record from an OAF page.
I've created an AM 'MasterAM', added 'MasterVO' to it. Created a Page CreatePG which has a submit button, id = Apply

When I run the page, it opens and I try to enter some data and press Apply. it does not insert into the table.
Could anyone help me out.
My jdeveloper version is 10.1.3.3.0.3

I am facing the same issue.
rows get inserted into the tbale, but only whol columns have the data.
all the attributes are correctly mapped to view instance and view attribute.

could that be the problem ?
ex :

where t.cola=master.colb
table t is the custom table I want the data to go in. but only who columns appear after commiting.
any clues ?

FCP Novice needs help with video quality and FCP 5!!

Hi,
I have a real problme that I cannot seem to fix. I think its because I am doing something really wrong!
I have a Sony HC42E MiniDV Camcorder which by default records video in full widescreen. I recorded several tapes this way and have now begun trying to edit them in FCP 5.04 (Tiger 10.4.6). Whenever I log and capture my clips they appear to be fuzzzy and unclear on the Mac monitor whilst being totally crisp and sharp on the camcorder viewfinder. I tried capturing using the DV PAL 48Khz Anamorphic Preset which keeps everything the right size (the final output needs to be true widescreen and not with black bars added) but the resulting video on screen is blurry and bitty. I then tried capturing using the DV PAL 720 x 576 normal preset and the video is a little clearer on the screen (for both presets I have chosen lower field dominance) but when I play back it plays back in widescreen on the mac canvas window but at 4:3 on the camera's viewfinder.
I then assumed that maybe this is just becuase the mac screen (CRT by the way) doesn't use fields. So I exported the sequence as a QT movie using DV PAL 16:9 and used quicktime (OS9 Classic - my compressor has never worked because of the dreaded "unable to connect to baackground process" problem which I've never managed to correct) to convert it to MPEG2. When I import this as an asset into DVD Studio pro 4 and set the track size to 16:9 it comes through at the right aspect ratio. However it looks blurry on screen. Thinking that this will be fine on a TV I burned the disc - inserted it into my DVD player (a good one!) and watched it on my new 32" widescreen TV (a good one!) and the picture qualitty is poor. Its so much blurrier and bittier than the original footage looks when played through the camcorder's viewfinder!
The final footaage looks like an old VHS recording that's a year or two old!
Does anyone know how I can capture my footage in FCP with the maximum quality, edit it without quality loss and the export it for DVD again without such significant quality loss whilst all the time keeping it at proper 16:9 widescreen?
Is there some presets I should be working to?
I'm tearing my hair out! Help!

Hi Guys,
thanx for your replies.
here's the latest:
Brian, I followed your instructions and the DVD burned successfully. However the video quality of the dvd when viewed on my TV ('ve tried on all 3 of my tvs now) is still a lot poorer than the quicktime movie that was imported into DVDSP4. When I play the original QT Movie on my Mac CRT monitor it looks a little blurry and grainy because I guess its non interlaced however when viewed on an external Video monitor it looks great - very sharp.
When I view the burned DVD on my television the picture quality looks like the non interlaced version of the original QT Movie that appeared on my Mac CRT and not the sharp interlaced (lower field) version that appeared on my external video monitor.
Its almost like taking a sharp jpeg into Photoshop and applying a gaussian blur of about 0.3 followed by jepg compression compressing it down to 5% quality!
I'm totally mystified. Can the conversion to Mpeg2 be removing all interlacing so that you get the less sharp computer monitor look? I just want the video on my final DVDs to be as good as the original source footage! I appreciate that along the way there might be loss of some quality but surely not that much?
Does this make sense to you guys or am I still doing something very wrong?
Robert: I have tried setting all manner of drives including a fresh external firewire HD with nothing on it (clean out of the box) but it doesn't seem to help.
Brian: I tried the no network suggestion a few months back but I'm not sure if I got it right. At the moment I have broadband through an external speedtouch usb modem and am also connected (occasionally although not for the last 3 months) via a crossover cable to my PCs ethernet card. When I last tried the No Network solution I had immense trouble getting my internet to work again! Can you please help me by directing me to the best ay to do this while protecting my internet settings?
any more help guys would be greatfully appreciated.

Need Help Converting Video

Hello - I have a couple of separate questions that I need help with. I know basic FCP. I have FCP7. I recently shot a wedding with 2 different cameras. Both are HiDef Cameras. 1 Camera is a Prosumer Camera where the files were taking off the camera and imported by Final Cut. The second is a new, home camcorder which saved the files into a hard drive in MPEG 4 format.
I need to marry the two. I can import the all the files (from both cameras) directly into the timeline. But the ones from the camcorder (the mpeg4s) seem to have that "hitchy" feel to them when I play them back. Also, both types of files (even the ones that were directly imported into Final Cut from the Prosumer Camera) have the "render" lines when they are in the timeline, so I constantly have to render which takes forever.
The files that were imported directly into FCP from the ProSumer camera were imported on a different computer with a different version of FCP, so when I drag them into my timeline it tells me that they were from a different version and asks me if I want to update for my version. If I click YES then it stretches the files from 16:9 to 4:3. If I say NO then it keeps the 16:9 aspect ratio, but adds yet another layer of render I need to do.
Normally I do simple, Standard Def edits where I import things into the timeline via FCP7 with firewire from a deck and edit directly from there, then firewire back to the deck. Simple - no rendering, etc. My questions are as follows:
1 - Do I need to reset my timeline settings because I am now working with HiDef? Or does FCP automatically know that it is HD and it doesnt matter how I drag it into the timeline?
2 - Do I need to convert the MPEG 4 files to quicktime format, or does it not make a difference
3 - When I export, what settings would I use to keep it in HiDef. I am only going to make DVDs with it.
4 - Is there a way to do it so that I do not have to render constantly while editing
5 - To view, I am firewiring out to a deck which is then going into a Standard Def monitor. Is that the reason the footage appears "hitchy"?
Any help is greatly appreciated. If you have any help, please drop me a note at [email protected]
Thanks

YOu need to learn how to use FCP. Sorry, no offense needed, and I know it sounds harsh. But from reading that I can tell you have no idea about how to properly import tapeless media into FCP...and don't know what formats FCP works with...nor know what formats the cameras record. This is all basic stuff you need to know before you edit. Editing isn't only creative, but lately highly technical as well...you need to know what your software is capable of doing, and how to get the footage into it properly.
You cannot do what you did...directly drag from the cameras into FCP. No...it needs to be imported, typically with LOG AND TRANSFER...and converted from the shooting format, which typically isn't natively editable in FCP (want native, use Adobe Premiere...). It needs to be converted to ProRes. And yes, the file sizes of ProRes are a LOT bigger than the camera originals. 4-5 times larger. That's how FCP works.
Here's a quick tutorial to get you started. But then I suggest getting to know the editing system better.

Need help fixing video playback on iTunes and worried it will affect iphone

First of all, the black levels when playing videos on iTunes looked terrible.
I looked all over on how to fix this..
So then I installed the lastest nvidia graphics drivers to help with video playback
After install my videos black level was definatly better, I think.
But now all videos play wierdly in the corner of the itunes program..
http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/8170/ituneshelp.png
I need help to fix this and I hope this dont affect playback on iphone 4

If exporting to i4 results in the same, there could be a problem with the movie itself. Try exporting to the i4 and replay the video. However if exporting to i4 plays okay on the phone, it's your Nvidia drivers. You can download the prior Nvidia drivers and downgrade.
There have been dozens of cases where Nvidia drivers even the newest ones have made a mess of games, movie playbacks, even viewing Windows programs.

Hi:
Please read the XP downgrade guide at the link below:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-systems-and/General-XP-Downgrade-Guide-for-HP-Laptop...
The instructions for installing the audio for your model can be found under the section labeled 1. Easy Models
More than likely you didn't install the required MS UAA driver before installing your audio driver.
You will need to uninstall any audio drivers you tried before installing the MS UAA driver.

Need help with videos!!! Please

i need help! i have a 30G ipod video and my videos are being weird. They used to play on my ipod but now there is no picture or sound. it plays on itunes too so i dont understand. Also, my purchased music plays on itunes but skips past them on my ipod-they used to play on my ipod. PLEASE help me!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
For Videos:
So what are they doing? Are the videos showing up under "Videos" on the iPod? What happens when you try to play them? Have you tried these?
Resetting iPod
Restore the iPod
For Purchased Music Skipping:
Have you played the songs in iTunes for a few seconds? This will authorize them. Now sync your iPod. Do they play?
If not, make sure everything is up to date on your computer and iPod..
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
If that doesn't work, in iTunes, go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the songs in iTunes. It will ask for your account information (from the iTunes Music Store). Enter that. Now play a few purchased songs for a few seconds. Sync your iPod. Do the songs work now?
If they don't, try this...
Deauthorize the computer. (Go to advanced-->deauthorize computer in iTunes)
Create a new user in the system. (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
Download the free song of the week in the new user account. (First, log out of the current user and log in to the new user account. Then open iTunes and download the free song)
Play the song in that username to authorize it.
Restore the iPod in the New User account, sync just the Free song of the Week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it plays fine on the iPod when syncing with this user name (after you followed the above instructions), it would indicate a bad iTunes Library File. Post back for instructions on how to fix that.
Now, if it still won't work (you followed the above instructions with the new user account) and the iPod still won't play the songs, then post back.

I need help with videos?

Need help exporting video

(I have Premiere Pro CS4 and I'm pretty new to it)
All my videos are 640 by 480 AVI files and the frame rate is 30fps. What are the best settings to export these videos at?
For some reason when I set the dimensions at the beginning to 640 to 480, and then I set the Pixel Aspect Ratio to "Square Pixels" because that is the only setting that will give me a 4:3 ratio, which is what I need since the videos are 640 by 480. But when I go to 'Export', the dimensions have been changed to 720 by 480, and I can't change the settings. What should I do? (I'm trying to save them as AVI)

Can you give us the full details of these AVI files. If you do not have that, the great, free utility, G-SPOT will give it to you.
You will want to set your Project/Sequence to that. If necessary, choose Desktop for the Preset and then fill in all of the attributes to match your source footage.
What do you wish to Export to?
What is your delivery scheme?
That will determine your Export settings in AME. You will need to choose a Preset that matches that. You have probably chosen a DV Preset.
Good luck,
Hunt

Need help on filtering out one record from a report and open in new page

Hi I am new and embarrassed to write in the forum asking silly questions. Thing is I am learning all from scratch without help from anyone. I have created a database (have previous knowledge only from Access) and have managed to create a beautiful report from a search filter. This report lines up several records matching what I needed. Now, I want to make the whole report with hyperlinks to a detailed page on each of the records in the report. I have tried using the feature where one can make one column hyperlinked and redirect to a new page, where I am getting all the records again - instead of only getting the record I am clicking on. I have looked and looked in the forums without finding solution and I have tested and tried various methods without luck. I am suspecting that I need some sort of knowledge on how to write a select query with where conditions that can apply to filtering out a record from one report to get another detailed on only one object (i.e. record). :/ Stupid or what?

Hrefna.
What you need to look into is two things:
1) The link you defined, needs to set additional attributes for the target page. In the "Column Link" box, you have set the link to "Page in this Application" and followed by the page number (let's say, Page 10). Below that, you should set an Item to an item on you target page (let's call that P10_PRODUCT_ID). This item should be the primary key of your detail table (on the targe page). You can select this item from the popup list. The Value of the item should be picked from a popup list as well, being the value from the record you clicked on. This should then transfer your selected item to your page. The URL will then have something like P10_PRODUCT_ID:5 at the end.
2) On the target page, 10, you must change the query slightly, so that it adds a WHERE clause:
WHERE PRODUCT_ID = :P10_PRODUCT_ID
Now, you should be set.
Hope this helps.

Need help with multi track/simultaneous recording

Please forgive me if the answer to my question has already been covered; I have searched the other posts but haven't been able to find the answer.
I am recording a podcast with a Behringer Xenyx X1832 mixer. In GB I know how to select "multi track recording" and set my two mics that are conneced to the first two channels of the mixer to "mono 1" and "mono 2" on the input source.
My question is how do I record audio from my Macbook on a seperate track?
I have a Focusrite 2i2 connected via USB to the Macbook acting as an output, then TRS cables from the outputs going to channel 7/8 on the mixer. When I play audio I can hear it perfect and adjust EQ and volume, but I am unable to record it on a seperate track on GB.
When I click on the track on GB, the input source says "stereo 1/2" and when I try to click the red buttons to arm the other two mono tracks where my mics are connected it says "The input channel of this track is already in use. To record on this track, choose another input channel."
What am I doing wrong? How do I send audio from the Macbook to the mixer and then record it on a seperate track, along with seperate tracks for each of the mics?

Need help with no camera sounds & recording in Captivate 5

I am an experienced user of Captivate 3 & 4, but I'm having lots of problems with Captivate 5. I am working on a Windows 7 OS and have just installed Captivate 5. When I try to record I can't get any camera sounds, even though I have changed my preferences to show them. Also, Captivate seems to be recording erratically, and sometimes it is catching actions, other times it isnt' I am running the program as Administrator and I am very puzzled by this. Normally Captivate has worked like a charm out of the box. Now it seems to be fighting my every step of the way. Am I missing something?
Audio recording seems spotty too. Sometimes it works just fine, other times Captivate just hangs and doesn't really record any sound.
Any help would be appreciated/

Hello and welcome to the forum,
First to be sure: did you install the patch released in December (Help, Updates...)? If not try that first of all. You can find details about the issues solved by this patch in this blog post:
Patch for Captivate 5
If this doesn't help, try to clear the cache (Preferences, Global).
Perhaps (not sure) your Preferences folder has become corrupt. It so, try to find it. In Win7 normally it is a folder (Captivate 5) in this path:
\users\<username>\appdata\local\adob
Maybe you will have to change the settings to make this folder visible in Explorer, by default it is in a system folder and invisible. You can delete this folder (while CP is closed) and when you restart CP a brandnew one will be created.
