Need to record VO with moving video

I'm trying to dub a video - I've gotten all the editing done, and I can extract the audio just fine. My plan was to record a new audio track of VOs and simply swap out each clip. However, I'm trying to sync the VOs with the moving "lips" of a sock puppet, which means I need to see the video moving while I'm recording the new audio. Instead, I get a still shot - I can't fake the timing that well. Is there a way to have the video moving while I record audio? The socks and I thank you in advance.

Peter,
I assume you're recording using iMovie and clicking on the red record button in the Audio pane.
The playhead should move and you should be seeing your video as you record.
What kind of Mac do you have and with what speed processor?

Wich device do i need to record interview with ipad 1?

I want to record Interviews with ipad 1. Wich device do i need and where can i buy it?

Audio or video?
Since the iPad has no camera, video recording is not possible.
Audio recording can be performed with the built in microphone, or with one of several USB Mics through the USB camera adapter.

How can I record narration with no video or beyond the end of my video in iMovie?

I have a question about recording narration in iMovie.
I wrote a script to read as the narration for a movie I'm making. My thought was I could record the narration first, then add video to match the spoken words.
I've done this before in Sony Vegas on my PC and it worked out well, better than trying to speak to what was going on in the video after I record the video.
Unfortunately, if I try to record narration in iMovie without any video being there yet, it won't record. It appears I need to put a video clip on the timeline first.
If I put a short clip in and try to record narration beyond the end of it, iMovie quits recording at the end of the video clip.
So I went to quicktime and recorded my narration there and have 10 audio files (since I just don't seem to be able to read this whole script without making mistakes).
I then tried to add all 10 to my movie and I think it made me add a video clip first, but after I did, iMovie overlayed all 10 audio files on top of each other.
If I try to drag them over one at a time, I still can't get them to go sequentially unless I add more video to my movie.
There must be a way to add audio files or create narration without having to create a video file longer than your audio first. Isn't there?
I just can't seem to find a way to get the audio files layed out one after another without more video. Very frustrating.
At this point, I really want to know how to add audio files beyond the end of my video since I have them all recorded.
But I'd also like to know how to record narration beyond the end of the video too for future projects.
Thanks!
Brad

You could insert a bunch of placeholders in the timeline before doing the voiceover.
You can find a range of placeholders (they are actually templates used in iMovie Trailers) in the Maps, Backgrounds & Animatics browser. This is the last browser at the end of the centre toolbar, after the Titles and Transitions browsers. Click on it and scroll down to see all the animatics (aka placholders or templates). Drag a number of these into your project timeline - as many as you think you need to cover your audio.
When you've finished the voiceover, drag photos directly onto the animatics and select Replace from the pop-up menu. Adjust the timing by using the Inspector (double-click a photo to open the Inspector, then change the duration).

Help Needed Badly. Troubles with exporting video...

Hello, I created this account pretty much just for this problem, and I'm running under a very tight timeline so please if someone could give me an answer it would be very much appreciated. I have spent 8 hours over the past two nights as well as 4 hours today reworking, trying different things and combing the online community for any others experiencing these problems and/or solutions, so I am extremely stressed and tired if you could bare with me. So here it is:
I am editing and compiling a theatre production into a movie. I shot the show three times using a Canon HV30, imported the footage on a school computer (iMac, using iMovie '06), exported it in quicktime onto an external HD, brought it onto my computer (which, stupidly, has no firewire). The total file size was 7 hours of footage (85GB), and as a result my HD has about 300MB left on it, and has been excruciatingly slow. I have finished editing the movie, and I am now attempting to share it. All of the sources I have read tell me to share it in Media Browser, which will be accessible from iDVD. I attempted this many times, however I received multiple different error messages, only after watching it 'working' for 4 hours. Some have said that there was no virtual memory left (even after emptying the cache), some said that there wasn't enough HD space left, the exporting had encountered an error, error messages -50, -49, -48, and -47, and the most prominent one that I have been receiving told me that there had been a "parameter error" or something.
After researching online, I found that the '-50' error messages had to do with exporting to a MSDOS HD, which made sense because I was attempting to export to my iPod (formatted in Windows). My latest efforts have been trying to export it onto my HD, which is formatted for OSX, and has 350GB left on it. And yet, all of the problems persist (including error -50...?) any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated, as the DVD was due two days ago.

+"Alright, so I moved over the footage and deleted it off the internal..."+
Did you move the Events using iMovie? If not, the project pointers become invalid, and you would get the error you did. While moving the event using iMovie, you don't need to "delete" anything!
Couple of options for you to recover from this.
A> (Slower) Move the Events back to the internal HD, and use iM to move the Event to the Ext HD.
B> (Faster, but convoluted) Create an alias for the specific Event folder (now on your ext HD/iMovie Events folder) under your local HD's iM Events folder. IM will now be able to "see" the files on the internal HD, even though they're stored on the Ext HD.
From the Help File: "To keep an item at its original location and put an alias for it in a new folder, hold down the Command and Option keys while you drag the item."
Sorry you're having to jump through hoops to get this working...

Recording audio with linked video input

my audio and video editing skills are quite proffessional
but i dont know - technicaly - how to edit them together?
how to capture my self recording a take -
and have the video and audio - synced in logic and easy to edit when the sound is "master"?
i think they do it in this video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIr8-f2OWhs
what camera to use?
is logic pro 9 workstation is capable of doing this?
or better with Final Cut Pro 4?
thanks

hi,
that kind of work is made in conjunction with FinalCut and Logic ( or something else ) ... they probably record the music first and sync images with an editing software.

What do i need to record songs with instrumantals?

I wana make a few rap songs. What do I need to buy to record me and the instrumantal to make the song. I have a few but also how do I make new instrumentals?

to make new instrumentals/beats - you're gonna need some software at least, or you could w/ those drum machines and samplers, etc... check pssl.com for the hardware. they got software too. it's pricey.
there are some free music making software out there. i bought a netbook from a local rapper/producer not too long ago and he had some really cool software on it for producing rap beats and instrumentals.. but unfortunately i had to wipe the pc, so i lost that software. i remember him saying it was free and he got it off of download.com i think (or is downloads.com )
if i can remember the name i will post back with it

HELP NEEDED CAPTURE DV FOOTAGE WITH HDV VIDEO CAMERA

I'm trying to capture DV video footage I've done years ago with my Sony DCR-HC40E PAl into FCP version 6. with my new camera HDV video Sony HDR-HC7 1080.i/mini dv so I can capture it into FCP but it's jerky, An yone know the setting for both the HDv camera and FCP to get the footage perfect as the rginal video.
Cheers

From the FCP menu bar: Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup > DV-PAL > OK. (Use DV PAL Anamorphic if you shot wide screen).
Menu bar once more: Sequence > Settings > Set Sequence Preset > OK.
That camera should detect the DV format tape and playback with the correct settings automatically.
All you ned to do is connect it via FireWire and capture.
For everything else, here's the manual for that camera: http://www.docs.sony.com/release/HDRHC5.pdf

I have over 200 hours of HD video on 5 different TB Thunderbolt GRaid hard drives. I need to reorganize my projects, moving large files from one drive to another. Advice?

Do some testing to get your method working right with some less than important footage.
Copy/paste files where you want then.
Use the FCE Reconnect feature to tell FCE where the newly copied files reside.
Make sure the new location and files are working as expected with your Projects.
Delete the original files if no longer required.

Recording the screen with a video camera

Can someone help me be able to record everything on my screen to my video camera? Can I use a firewire to do so? Is there a specific application i require? What I DON'T want to do is record my screen straight to the computer (this will be processor/space intensive) plus I already know how to do that? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Forums!
I'm a little confused. You want to record your screen to your video camera? Point the camera at the screen and press record on the camcorder. Viola.
I suspect what you want to do is not that simple, but that's the answer to the question you asked
IF you have a recording device with a _video in_ (which is something that camcorders typically don't have!! - other than the lens, I mean...), you'd need to convert the video out - which is the DVI port.
So, if it were me, I'd use my DVI-to-video adapter, connect the DVI output to my DVR (the one on my TV), set the DVR to that input, and record that way.
Hope this helps...

Recording Sound with video

I was previously able to record sound at the same time that I captured video, now I can't. I use the on board camera to capture video and an external mic. I need to know how to capture video and sound simultaneously.

Go to your Sound in the System Preferences and see if it is set up properly and you can test the microphone there. Then open up iChat prefernces, Audio/Video and see how that is set up and see if your audio works as you speak there. there have been some problems with that, and i think you fix it by resetting the PRAM or NVRAM

Need to record what I hear from speakers with other program

I need to record what I hear with a program that can record a programs video and audio.
Is there any way to set speakers as the recording source, instead of mic, or can I set it to both speakers and mic?
If not, then we need an upgrade to our audio mixer that allows this to be done so we can use programs like Snagit or Camtasia to record our music programs playing. The way it is now, I can only set the mic as the recording source, so I miss the audio the program is playing but get the video of the program playing it.

Hey guys,
I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
What software are you using to record your game?
If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,

I need to record a video while music app is playing

HI, I couldn't find the answer anywhere, and maybe it's not a common question.
I need to record a video with the camera app, but I need the music app (or whatever app, like spotify) to keep playing the song in the background, because I want to record the song as well. But the default behavior, when you choose video mode, is to stop the music from playing.
I am asking this because the iPad is the only thing I got with me at the moment, so I need everything done with it (the music playing and the camera recording)
Is that even possible, or the default behavior cannot be bypassed?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help Demo.
I am gonna have to find another way to do this then, because the iMovie solution is not exactly what I need, and I was imagining that the default behavior could not be override.
Thanks again

Recording song with video

I don't know what it is but i can't seem to get my head around this....
Trying to record a video in garageband/iMovie or whatever but i need to record my instrument along with song in garageband.
I would have though this would simply work by playing the track which would then mix through to core audio and input in iMovie but i simply can't get it to work. I can obviously setup my instrument and an input into iMovie and record but then no other audio from my mac (ie from GB) can be piped in. Anyone have any options?
Maybe a plugin which creates an input from GB into imovie. I just don't have any ideas on this one.
Thanks.
AM.

Sounds like you want to video yourself playing a live instrument along with accompanying audio from a GarageBand project. Is that it?

I have a macbook pro with a mini display port out and would like to know how to connect the video from my mac to a TV with old RCA input video, or a TV with S-video imput. How can I do this, and do I need a video converter?

I have a MacBook Pro that I want to hook up the Mini Display Port video out to a TV with RCA video imput, or a TV with S-video iimput.
How do I do this, and do I need a video converter?

there's an adaptor for mini dvi to s-video
a well known auction site would yield results if apple don't stock it
