Need Help Syncing Live Music Video with Studio Recording

Hi.
I'm trying to put together a 'music video' using live video footage and studio recorded audio. The live footage was played at a different speed than the studio recording. Any hints on how to get this to look good?
Can I pick a bunch of points in the song, say the start of a verse, set markers, and stretch the video between the markers to try to get it close? (I think I've done this before - but it was years ago..) Will the transition from slow video back to regular speed look funny? I do have other footage that will get spliced in at times, but maybe not enough to use at every transition.
I'm thinking this is going to be really difficult to accomplish. Any ideas to make this easier would be appreciated.
Thanks!

My suggestion is to try Fit to Fill: this edits a video clip to a predefined section of the timeline (e.g. using IN and OUT points in the timeline) by stretching it or shrinking it to fit that section; the speed of the clip will be adapted accordingly.

Need help syncing a music video playlist to my iPad.

Hello,
I am having trouble syncing a music video playlist from iTunes onto my iPad2. This playlist works fine on my iPod touch (3rd gen) but on the iPad it shows up as an audio playlist only with the videos going to the video icon; they all work but a playlist can't be made from this location. I have made sure that all the video files are saved as "music video" and not "movie", I'm not sure what else to try, any suggestions would greatly appreciated.
thanks,

Cool, I love watching videos on the treadmill too. BTW, if you want to watch videos with ads in them (DVB recordings, for example), there's an article on exactly this subject (how you can easily skip ads when watching videos on the treadmill) at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/fast-forward-ad-skipping-best-video-players
Back to the subject: the following 3rd party players support playlists:
MoliPlayer http://itunes.apple.com/app/mo-li-shi-pin-bo-fang-qi-moliplayer/id503831696?mt=8 : Partial (you can use your own, freely definable genres)
Falcon Player and Downloader Pro for iPad http://itunes.apple.com/app/falcon-player-downloader-pro/id489381002?mt=8 : Partial: only one, global playlist
LuberPlayerHD http://itunes.apple.com/app/luberplayerhd/id476781603?mt=8 : (Pretty straightforward to use)
PlugPlayer http://itunes.apple.com/app/plugplayer-for-ipad/id363482186?mt=8 : Partial: only one, global playlist
HD Player Pro http://itunes.apple.com/app/hd-player-pro/id429610228?mt=8 4.0 (used to be ATK Player by Khoa Tran Anh): + (add /edit playlist under Playlists tab; selected playback works)
Oplayer HD by olimsoft http://itunes.apple.com/app/oplayer-hd/id373236724?mt=8 : + (last-but-one + icon in every row after creating a playlist in the second item from the top in the top left main menu)
BUZZ Player HD by BUGUN Software http://itunes.apple.com/app/buzz-player-hd/id389744550?mt=8 : + (move via Edit > select the item(s) > arrow icon)
Movie Player – Plays any Video! by Dominic Rodemer http://itunes.apple.com/app/id406779775?mt=8 2.0.2: Partial (very rudmentary: no separate playlists, only one, global one)
Azul Media Player - Video player for your iPad By Gplex http://itunes.apple.com/app/azul-media-player-video-player/id404452499?mt=8 3.5: Partial (very rudimentary: no separate playlists, only one, global one)
yxplayer by mobilesoft.kr http://itunes.apple.com/app/yxplayer/id373751560?mt=8 1.5.2: Partial (just a global one)
RushPlayer http://itunes.apple.com/app/rushplayer/id452990487?mt=8 1.4.5: Partial (just a global one)
Of them, I recommend BUZZ Player HD by BUGUN Software the most - it's a decent all-rounder, albeit there certainly are better players (for example, It's Playing, AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer, GoodPlayer etc. - too bad none of these supports playlists) with more efficient video decoders for some formats.

Making a Live Music Video with Final Cut Express

I'm trying to make a music video for my band. We have filmed 1 of our performances using 3 video cameras. Is there a way I can sync on Final Cut Express 4 all the 3 videos with the music I have also recorded, so that I can see and choose out of the 3 what's the best at any given time?
Any help appreciated!
Many thanks,
Max

This is actually a feature of FCPro. FCE was not designed to do this, however there is a workaround.
First, place each video on its own video track. Then adjust the positioning of each video track relative to the audio so all the video tracks are in sync with it and, by extension, with each other.
Then you have to resize & move each video in the Canvas so you can see all 3 of them at the same time in the Canvas window. You can do this by opening each video in the Canvas, turn on Image+WireFrame and then resize & move each video as desired. This is much easier if you just use Piero's free QuarterPIP plugin instead of doing it manually.
Now you should be able to play the timeline and see all 3 videos in the Canvas, sync'd to the audio. From there you can pick & choose where to cut from one video to another. Just keep in mind that video on higher tracks will obscure video on lower tracks, so you will have to actually cut out portions of your video on tracks v2, v3 etc that you don't want to use. When you are finished, undo the QuarterPIP filter (or the manual resizings you originally did) and you should have your finished video.

Need help Syncing audio/music from my computer with Vista to my Palm Centro....

When I use Windows Media Player 11 that came with my computer and attempt to load/sync music from the computer to the Centrol into Ptunes v4.0 I get an error message on the computer screen stating the version I am using is not compatible. I have also tried Windows Media Player 10 and it also states not compatible.
Help, I need a fix. Anyone able to help me?

Post relates to: Centro (Unlocked GSM)

Hello kd302 and welcome to the Palm forums.
I don't use Windows Media Player, but I was under the impression that to use WMP 11, you needed to upgrade Pocket Tunes on the Centro.
The NormSoft knowledge base can be found here.
I would use the check for updates feature in pTunes on your Treo to see if there is an update available for your install of pTunes 4.x. To do this, open pTunes, and select Menu > Help > Check for Updates...
I'm running version 4.0.7 on my Treo 755p and I know that version 5.0 has been relesed for Palm OS devices.

Need help syncing audio and video

Hello,
I am fairly new to this Mac and Final Cut Pro. Over the weekend, I recorded some video and audio separately and am now attempting to piece them together. I can get the two in sync for about a minute and after that they no longer line up. I was told the root of the problem was that the sound was recorded at 32 bits and needs to be 16 bits to sync up with the video in FCP, however, after I rendered the sound clip and checked up on its settings, I discovered that it was 16 bits. So now I am completely stumped. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Jamie

Seems like that person is a little lost on the subject.
Do this. Open FCP, go into Audio Video settings under the Final Cut Pro menu, then click on the Sequence Presets tab. (Forget about an Easy Setup, because you are not capturing. Easy setup is only if you want to match capture settings to sequence settings and playback settings. You are only concerned with sequence settings.)
In the Sequence settings tab, locate the Apple Pro Res 422 1920x1080 (or the corresponding aspect ratio for your footage), and press duplicate. Then, go into the duplicate setting and change the editing time base to 30 from 29.97, and change the timecode rate to Non-Drop frame. Label this something different so you know where to find it when you need it.
Now, when you start a project, go into the A/V Settings and choose this as the Sequence preset. Make sure you convert your footage with either Compressor or MPEG Streamclip to ProRes 422 before you edit. Do NOT use the native H.264 files that the camera creates.
The reason the blogger couldn't do it was because they were relying on Easy Setups. You can't set up a capture preset for 30 fps, because tape plays at 29.97. But you aren't capturing from a tape. You're just importing files.

Need help syncing my iphone 5 with itunes

ok my problem is i have restored my computer a few months ago and now when i try
and sync it sayes i can only be synced with one libbary at a time wich would be
the old one and the only option it give me is to erase it so what am i dont know
what do do i mean all my stuth is in both accounts but i dont want to lose any
thing please help and sorry for my bad spelling here is a pic of the problem
below

@Kev48us
I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. I can understand your concern as a iTunes and iPhone user.
I do notice that you stated that you restored your computer a few months ago. The files from iTunes are typically stored on your computer in a specific place. If the computer was restored it may have erased these files. Were you able to review your computer to see if these files still exist. For a Windows 7 user these iTunes files can be found under:
• \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
Keep me posted. I would like to know if any of the information is currently on your computer. If not you will be able to erase and sync.

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using Windows 7

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

I need help syncing my computer outlook email (through Yahoo) with my iphone. When I delete an email on my computer it is still in my inbox on my phone. Please help.

Your computer is probably set up to access your Yahoo mail using POP3. POP3 does not synchronize with the server. For full synchronization, you will need to use IMAP instead. See the Yahoo mail help pages for instructions on how to configure your mail client.

Any suggestions for editing Music Videos with Multiclip?

Hi there. I have been reading about the new multiclip feature in FCPHD5. Sounds as if it would be perfect for editing a performance music video with multiple run throughs. In fact it almost seems too good to be true. I was writing to ask if anyone has tried this and what problems they encoutnrered or what workflow they could recommend. I haven't used multiclip before (or editied many music videos either) and would appreciate any suggestions.
This is my idea so far.
capture offlineRT the whole tape, make subclips with an angle setting of each take. Then edit the multiclip in a timeline which includes the song as an audio track. I thought I would synch with inpoints manually set to the beginning of the songs first riff in playback (as there was no clapper on set that day, curse them)
I have questions about onlining as well and how to make it a less tormenting nerve racking experience. Maybe its just me but the thought of trashing all the media, duplicating projects and recapturing makes me break out in a cold sweat. But I'll deal with that later.
Thanks for your thoughts, observations, suggestions.
Have a merry Christmas
Sincerely
Peter Stenhouse

The plan was to sync up the mixed PT audio to the video track. However the club screwed up the recording and I was left with using the audio from one of the tripod mounted cameras that I placed a stereo mike on.< </div>
General advice for live performances:
1. Depending on a computer to make the only recording is a silly idea. Use tape or a minidisk. Take a line feed off the main board and record it on at least one of the cameras.
2. There is nothing that will substitute for missing timecode better than a good countdown. Insist the band develop a creative visual and aural timing cue that all cameras and mics can see.
3. The most important part of shooting a performance or a lipsync gig for mulitcamera assembly is preproduction. The bugs, glitches and gotchas are all well known and thoroughly documented on thousands of band blogs.
4. There is no excuse to go into a location shoot unprepared and carrying a solid backup plan for all of the stuff that will go wrong.
5. A full, all-camera, all-personnel rehearsal is a good idea.
6. The band's lighting guy knows nothing about video. Give him some help or give him the day off.

Think I erased my ipod by clicking "sync all music & video" now more probs

Hi all...I clicked on "sync all music & video" within itunes & I watched in horror as my 1000+ songs were erased as well as video. Is there a way to retrieve my music & video from my pc? I checked the itunes folder & all that was there were podcasts. Didn't see anything in recycle bin.
I have accepted that I may be SOL so I uninstalled itunes but now I can't add music from my pc to ipod.
In itunes I see my ipod listed but I cannot create a new playlist under my ipod name the way I use to. I use to be able to create playlist under my ipod then drag folder of mp3's to that playlist. But now I can't. I did manage to add a cd to my ipod but after sync...the tracks are greyed out & not selectable. I cannot manually select them & do anything like delete etc. What have I done? I don't even see the restore option in itunes to restore back to factory settings & I did the itunes upgrade.
Thanks Folks!

Scratch the part about not being able to restore to factory settings. I just did that. I'm about to see if this helped as far as adding music.

I need to sync my mac calendar with ipad and iphone and visa versa.

I need to sync my mac calendar with ipad and iphone and visa versa. I have read up on it and Mobileme seemed the way to go, but isn't for sale anymore. Will installing lion allow me to integrate calendars???

You should post in the SL forum for more help.
Since you're using SL, you should be able to sync using iSync application or iTunes. I'm not familiar with it, but I know it can be done.
And yes, if you install Lion and use iCloud, you will be able to sync iCal between all devices. Once set up, whatever change made on one automatically updates the other. Same for AddressBook.

I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox. On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox. I can't remember how I set this up. Any help?

The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).
