Simple question on aligning video and audio

I am new to this and am using the Cs4 trial.  I have placed a video in video 1 timeline and it has audio that appears in the audio one line. Now I have also inserted a plain audio file from the sound board of the same event into audio track two. I would like to align them so I magnified them and can see the exact start time of the audio in the waveform.  The problem is I can not align the two.  If I slide either one back and forth they just jump to a frame marker. Like I said I am new at this.  I can understand that the video can only move on frame or one key frame at a time?  But shouldn't the audio just slide with out jumping?  I hit a button that said snapping but that didn't change anything.
Also how do you align two videos?  If I have two videos of the same performance It would seem that I have to align them together to then use the multicamera mode?  I tried the razor tool but that only seems to cut on a frame.   Doug

You can set the timecode display to "Audio Time Units" which gives you much more finite control when positioning or trimming audio tracks. Click the fly-out menu in the Timeline panel or Program Monitor to find it:
Note that video can only be positioned or trimmed to whole frames; how precise you get is dicatated by the timebase of your sequence. For example, in a 24p sequence, you only have 24 subdivisions of a second; in a 60p sequence, you have 60 subdivisions. Likewise, the razor tool/command is bound to frames, at least when slicing video.

  • General questions about imported video and audio clips

    Hey guys. I'm a new Apple convert so forgive me if I ask extremely stupid questions.
    1. If I import a video file that has audio in it, am I able to separate the audio from the video? I want to edit in pictures over some of the video but keep the audio playing over it. Is this possible in FCE?
    2. I've started a project on FCE and I can't hear the audio from an mp3 file I downloaded. I know I have to convert it to an AIFF file (which I thought I did, at 16bits), but I still can't hear it. Is there something I'm missing?
    Thanks for the help guys!

    Thanks for the reply. As to my first question, I assume then when I import a video clip with audio on it, FCE will automatically split the two?
    As to my second question, thanks for the link, but I already tried it and still no audio. Is there something I need to fix in the playback? I'm still not clear on what the RT tab does. Maybe it's something with that?

  • How to align or sync video and audio?

    In Premiere 13,  once I have added a video/audio clip and then either slow down the clip or add photos in between the clip causes the video and audio to be out of sync.  How does one re-align or re-sync the clip once it has been edited?  Thanks

    mrsndmn
    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
    There are several ways to avoid disturbing an existing Timeline when you are adding to it.
    1. Using what are called keyboard modifiers, such as Ctrl or Alt (Windows).
    2. Grouping block of clips so that the clips move together
    The following video tutorial is offered for informational and not promotional reasons
    Premiere Elements: Arranging clips on the Timeline using modifier keys | lynda.com - YouTube
    It uses a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 13, but the principles involved are the same.
    The video and audio that are going out of sync.... are they linked or grouped before the addition to the existing Timeline?
    After the fact, you will need to move the Timeline components back in place.
    If the video and audio are not linked or group, you can
    (a) highlight the clip, hold down the Alt key of the computer main
    keyboard and tap the appropriate arrow key for a 1 frame per tap nudge of the clip.
    (b) highlight the clip, hold down the Shift+Alt key of the computer main
    keyboard and tap the appropriate arrow key for a 5 frames per tap nudge of the clip.
    Please review and consider. If questions or need clarification on the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • Video and audio transmission from MacBook to TV

    Since I really get mixed up with various posts about connecting MacBooks to a TV set I would love to get simple answers to the following questions:
    How can I connect my MacBook to a TV so that I have video and audio rendering? My MacBook has a mini-DVi output, my TV set has VGA, HDMI, and audio inputs. Since to my knowledge HDI carries no audio signals I suspect that I need an extra audio connection. Is this true?

    depending on your macbook model you may need a "converter", meritline.com/mini-hdmi-to-cvbs-converter-adapter---p-83103.aspx?source=fghdac& gclid=CO7J9NSU67QCFWGnPAodRBsAAw similar to this.

  • How can you use one NetStream to publish video and audio from another NetStream in AS3?

    Let's say one of your client programs in AS3 is able to receive live video and audio from a NetStream and play it on the screen.  How could you make it also take that video/audio stream that it's receiving, copy it over into another NetStream, and publish it elsewhere?  I need to know how to do with this regardless of whether RTMP, RTMFP, or some mixture is involved.  The reason why the stream needs to be relayed this way is a real long story, but it's necessary in this particular case. Thanks!

    RTMP is TCP, which has higher overhead and latency because it guarantees packets are delivered (handshaking, causing latency and overhead). It also doesn't allow you to share connections directly between clients forcing the server to do all the work.
    RTMFP uses UDP, which is a choice protocol for streaming video because it's the opposite. It's lossy which decreases latency and overhead from no retransmissions and most importantly (in some applications) allows you to connect directly from one Flash Player to another Flash Player (p2p) so the server overhead is dramatically reduced. The server is only required to negotiate the initial connection and then it's up to the clients to continue to facilitate that.
    How you code your one to many or many to many relationship broadcast network will be based entirely on which of those you choose.
    URLStream is very common to use in p2p. Here's an older Adobe article on p2p and an alternate quick old video tutorial (FP10) as a quick simple example of p2p over RTMFP you can view the source of.

  • Getting Ripped DVD Video and Audio Into Encore

    Do you have previously authored DVDs that need rework?  Do you want to add menus with greater impact and functionality?  Do you want to add some additional program or supplemental material?  Does a client want their product demo DVD to be updated to reflect the capabilities of the new and improved version, but the source files no longer exist?  Using Adobe Encore DVD and a freeware utility called DVD Decrypter (DVDD), you can accomplish this quickly and easily.
    Disclaimer: I do not support the illegal copying and/or distribution of copyrighted works.  The authors and distributors of the software I use have made it clear that they do not support illegal copying.  This guide is intended solely to assist you in ripping and copying DVD video to which you have the legal rights.  Any use of this guide to infringe the copyright of someone else’s intellectual property is prohibited.
    This guide is based on Adobe Encore DVD 1.5.1 and DVD Decrypter version 3.5.4.0.  Let’s Begin!
    Place the DVD to be ripped in your DVD drive and launch DVDD.  If you have more than one drive (e.g., a DVD-ROM and a DVD burner) make sure the one with the disc is selected in the Source dropdown list in the main program window.  Now we need to set up DVDD to extract video in a way that is “Encore friendly”.  This is the toughest part of the whole exercise.  Click on the Tools menu item and choose “Settings…”. 
    Settings
    General Tab: You can leave these set at their defaults if you like.  Personally, I specify a custom Default Destination.  I put my ripped video assets all in one place anyway, and having a default destination means I have one less thing to do when I rip a DVD.
    IFO Mode Tab: Make sure that “Select Main Movie PGC” and “Enable Stream Processing” are checked.  “Uncheck Suspect Cells” is probably a good default safety check.  If your hard disks are formatted as NTFS, set File Splitting to “None”.  I leave “Copy IFO File” checked with the default sub-items checked.  Make sure that “Patch M2V Timecode” is unchecked.  The items in the Create Additional Files section are purely optional.  The author of DVDD has been kind enough to list which programs need which files; notice that Encore DVD isn’t listed as needing any of these extra files.  I do keep the “Stream Information” box checked.  DVDD generates very informative file names, but I like to keep “Include PGC Number” under File Names checked.  Be advised you will get some lengthy file names after DVDD is finished ripping.
    Stream Processing Tab: Since we enabled stream processing in the IFO Mode tab, we need to tell DVDD how to process those streams.  To save yourself time and confusion later, check the “Convert PCM to WAV” box.  Earlier versions of Encore required a Demuxed audio stream and a Raw video stream.  Encore 1.5.1 can accept either type of video stream (Raw or Demuxed) but it does still require a Demuxed audio stream.  However, I still recommend using Raw video and Demuxed audio, if only because it seems to be somewhat faster to process in DVDD.  This workflow is also backward-compatible with earlier versions of Encore.
    So let’s set up the Stream Processing tab now.  In the Demux box, enter “0x8? 0xA? 0xC?”.  This ensures that all audio streams in the selected PGC, whether AC3, PCM or MPEG will be set to Demux.  In the Raw box, enter “0xE0”.  This ensures that the video from the selected PGC will be set to Raw.  
    Additional Notes about the Stream Processing Tab:
    1. For those of you asking the question, “What the heck is a PGC?” it’s just DVD-speak for the titles in a DVD project.  And I’m not talking about the opening or end credits, either; I’m talking about the titles that result, for example, from the timelines you create in an Encore DVD project.  There is a subtle difference between a PGC and a VTS (title set), but that's not important right now.
    2. Happily, recent versions of DVDD create a WAV file after ripping that will import directly into Encore.  Versions prior to 3.2.0.0 would create a WAV file that had to be imported to, and exported from, a sound editing program like Adobe Audition, Goldwave or SoundForge before Encore would recognize it.
    Events Tab: For convenience sake, I recommend setting “Set Program Mode” in the Startup section to “IFO”.  That way, whenever you launch DVDD, it will look familiar to you.  You may safely ignore all of the other tabs in the Settings dialog. 
    Ripping
    1.Under the Input Tab of the main program window, select the PGC you want to rip.  You can only do one at a time.
    2.Switch to the Stream Processing Tab.  Verify that Enable Stream Processing is checked.
    3.Check or uncheck any or all of the video and audio streams that are listed.  Highlight each one to verify that all audio streams are set to Demux and the video stream is set to Raw.
    4.If you didn’t select Default Destination in the General Settings Tab, then you need to tell DVDD where to put the ripped files now.
    5.Click on the big DVD-to-Disk icon.
    6.DVDD will announce, quite loudly, when it has finished.  At that point you can rename the files or import them as is into Encore.
    I hope you find this guide useful and that it helps you get the most out of your investment in Adobe Encore DVD.

    OK, I can't tell you what we are doing, you'll have to trust me that it's for a very good cause. I'll simplify the use case as an example. If I can do the following we'll be OK:
    1) Read video/audo files from a DVD that we created
    2) Open these files with the QuickTime Player, click on Export to Apple TV to create an output file.
    I'd rather not do an interim conversion of the video data (like use a 3rd party app to convert to mp4 first and then read into QT, but I'm considering a conversion to DV) because that could seriously hurt the apps effectiveness. I also can't use another app (MPEG Streamclip, HandBrake, VisualHub, etc.) to do the conversion.

  • Fastest way to transfer video and audio from MacBook to TV?

    Hello All,
    Thanks for visiting my page. I would like to transfer video and audio from my Macbook mid-2010 (specs below), and would like to do so with minimum lag. I m aware Apple TV has a feature which allows me to do that, however considering it is connected via either wi-fi or bluetooth (not sure which) I feel streaming an HD movie or playing an MMO will cause significant lag and/or a distorted picture.
    So with that said, what is the best way to transfer video and audio with minimal lag?
    Also, as a part II of the question, will the picture be distorted regardless if my TV is 60 inches?
    Thanks for the feed back!
    Macbook Specs:
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

    The easiest and most reliable option is to connect your Mac to the TV wired. Just buy a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable to connect your MacBook to your TV. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241 Image and sound will appear on the TV automatically.
    If the adapter and cable are OK, you won't get the picture distorted. Your Mac will try to use the maximum resolution the GPU allows in order to adapt the picture to your TV. It may not support the maximum resolution of the TV, but picture won't be distorted

  • What do I need to transfer video and audio from my 2009 Macbook to my television?

    I want to watch a movie with my family tonight, but the DVD is broken. I was planning on renting the movie online and transferring the video and audio from my Macbook to the television. What cables will I need to accomplish this? Also, does anyone know, were I to use a Windows instead, would transferring the audio be simpler? (And what would I need to do that?)

    Try doing it without a cable!
    Use AirDrop, described here:

    UPDATE - Oh, sorry, I see the article points out the MacBook is too old for AirDrop.

  • Video and audio manipulation

    I was reading the documentation for the media and all other related classes, and while there is functionality for video and audio playback, there doesn't seem to be any exposed lower level functionality in order to do things such as simple video and audio manipulation. I was wondering if there is any known way to achieve this? Also, is there any plan to incorporate something of this nature into JavaFx? Thanks in advance.

    Only things I can see in jira for this are:
    1. http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-19742 "Support simple video filters, like deinterlace, in MediaPlayer" (currently unscheduled)
    2. On http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-19582, Brian mentions "we already have separate issues on file for ... and 2) playing from a byte stream.", but I can't find a reference to the jira to play from a byte stream (I guess it's not public).
    If you can create a pretty specific and concise feature request, preferably backed with a use-case example, you can file it for consideration at http://javafx-jira.kenai.com

  • Video and audio formats for iPad

    Hey, guys.. I've tried searching this up in the forum but didn't have any luck with that..
    I can't seem to upload my movies and songs into iPad... I tried converting my movie into .mov and .mp4. They can both be imported into my iTunes library but when I drag it to the iPad tab it says it cannot be copied because it cannot be played on the iPad. And some of my albums just can't be imported.
    May I know the preferred format for my movies and my songs? And what could be the problem with my importing..
    Thanks heaps.

    Here are the spec for video and audio for the iPad:
    H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

  • Video and Audio not in sync after capture

    Hi there,
    This is probably a common problem, I have trawled the site but can't seem to find and explanation for it.
    I'm capturing vide/audio into final cut pro from my SONY DVR. The video i have streaming into the sony DVR is from a small covert video device which records video/audio onto an SD card. SO I'm running that into the DVR and then DVR is outputting that as DV PAL firewire (uncontrollable device).
    I'm capturing the 40 minutes of video as one clip, and when i drag it into the timeline the audio and video are WAY out of sync. Is there a simple reason for why this is happening?
    It's almost as if not capturing it right.
    I hope someone can help,
    Thanks in advance.
    Jamie McIntyre

    It is interesting that you are having this problem. I recently purchased a brand new Mac Pro (a week ago) and I am using Premiere Pro and it is doing the exact same thing. I mean this video and audio is REALLy out of sync. I tried capturing an hour at a time, and 30 minutes at a time. Still, no luck. I was debating on getting Final Cut, but after reading this post I am rethinking not only Final Cut, but using Apple all together. Part of me thinks that it is not a Premiere or Final Cut problem but a Mac OS problem. But hey, what do I know. I only edit for a living.

  • How to sychronise a streaming video and audio?

    Hello everyody,
    I created a player application which plays a streaming video together with a sound. In the beggining it starts ok and sychronised but later video goes slower than sound and as a result they are totally out of sych at the end. I believe the problem is that the video file is bigger than the sound file and it buffers more so the video always stays behind the sound. Is there any way to fix it and have my video and audio always sychronised? To have the sound embeded with the audio is not an option.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Aligning Video with Audio

    I am attempting to align video with audio of a clip from another camera. Is there an incremental way of aligning. At the moment when I move the video clip on the timeline it is not fine enough to to align.

    select the clip in the timeline then nudge it left and right using the trim keys, the comma and period keys, to nudge left and right by one frame at a time (the square brackets also do the same). if you hold down the shift key at the same time you'll get a multi-frame nudge ... the number of frames depends on your "multi-frame trim size" setting in your Final Cut Pro > User Preferences --> Editing tab
    of course, you can only nudge the clip if there is no other clip in the way, otherwise you will just get a "clip collision" ... if that is the case then you'll need to "slip" or "slide" the clip in place. exactly the same procedure/keystrokes as before, but you just need to select the slip or slide tool before you start pressing those trim keys.
    cheers
